In the Shadow of the Silent Majorities

Synopsis

The whole chaotic constellation of the social revolves around that spongy reference, that opaque but equally translucent reality, that the masses. A statistical crystal ball, the masses are 'swirling with currents and flows,' in the image of matter and the natural elements. So, at least, they are represented to us. Written in 1978 and first published in English in 1983, In the Shadow of the Silent Majorities was the first postmodern response to the delusional strategies of terrorism.
