Things are woven, the same goes for simulacra, which are very thin fabrics. The events of the world are fabrics that meet or tear, this applies as much to the process that constructs reality as to the way in which we know things. The art of weaving and the mythical-poetic diction which is a consequence of the divine Verwobenheit are the two poles that allow us to understand the meaning of De rerum natura as a simulacral fabric which explains the way of functioning of matter and its processes of organization. jeu., 01 févr. 2024 16:16:50 +0100 mar., 02 avril 2024 10:07:39 +0200 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1184 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1161 In De Rerum Natura, the great associations between atoms are unstable and cannot last.  As things move, meaninglessly and in an infinite vacuum, they violently collide with each other, causing everything to unravel. In this article, we ask whether Lucretius also offers us ways of 'practising' catastrophe.  The hypothesis we formulate here is that the choice of poetry constitutes a 'practice' of this worldview. jeu., 25 janv. 2024 16:28:11 +0100 jeu., 25 janv. 2024 16:28:26 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1161
