The book raises questions and discusses many issues that fall within the cultural, political, philosophical and cognitive realms. These concerns meet under the description of the cultural burden of everything it creates, evokes or refers to. Our world contains a mystery that needs to be revealed, a deception that requires exposing and exposing, and a tyranny, expulsion and marginalization that we must always confront. It is a world that is no longer innocent, and no longer fragmented. It is connected, interconnected and implicated. Knowledge in this context is articulated with each other. History, ideology and identity are no longer bare concepts, but have become more bullying and clashing with what language creates and with what criticism evokes. Both matters provoke and lead to confrontation with what is happening, with the intention of revealing or identifying, or with the intention of seeking pleasure or searching for what is hidden and implicit in the system.
