A World of Nothing but Nations

Another element of the poem not to be ignored is the departure from a
cause/effect tug-of-war. Instead, there is a sustained entrance to the incontestable
domain of inter-subjectivity. Inter-subjective frames situated in reality appear
throughout the poem. Inter-subjectivity, of course, is an alternative to scientific
objectivity creating a conceptual unity within modernity. Technically, “inter-subjectivity”
and “objectivity” have been given the same meaning, but inter-subjectivity focuses a
human factor upon the possibility of unified perspective by an emotive Being.
Objectivity precludes some kind of agreement between machinery, denying the validity
of the emotive character of man. In fact, this foregrounding of inter-subjectivity proposes
a new world perception where understanding channels through shifting networks
similar to our highly complex nervous system. It is an understanding of homeostasis
as THE center to sanity as well as the poem.
