SUIT YOU THE MOST?
OR BINARY OPOSITION IS OUT OF YOUR DICTIONARY?
FORGIVE THE MECHANIZED BELLBOY BEHIND THE COUNTER OF AN ABANDONED FACTORY OUTLET
INASMUCH AS HE'S DEPROGRAMMED TO QUESTION AND OBJECT
BINARY OPPOSITION IS OUT!
*A worldview that is based on Binary Opposition is the downfall of human species. We pick up where Derrida left off! Dismantling hierarchical binary oppositions, which serve to guarantee truth through excluding and devaluing the inferior part of the binary is not sufficient, we need to construct new hierarchy-less terms that don't place one side of reality as less superior than the other. Men/women, human animal/non-human animal, speech/writing, reality/appearance à these binary oppositions in Western conventions, also in Eastern philosophies, a**ume and suggest that one part of the binary is devalued as "inferior". Men are privileged over women, speech over writing, reality over appearance and human animal over non human animal. Binary oppositions will only make the whole world rotates in an unjust cycle. In Indonesia, women are still restricted to achieve their desires and domestic violence is still omnipresent. Non human animals are exploited and treated as nothing but decorations and object of metaphysical experiments. There are many other forms of violence that derived as a subsequent result of a Binary Opposition driven worldview.
