"By reading Empire (2000) by Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt I rediscovered the notions of universal peace and right as the two foundations for a global, all-encompassing supranational organization that brings together all humans. I began to question the fight for peace and right as a mechanism for assertion of power. I am diffident of power and I am diffident of empire; I want to look for human escapes from its order.
Fabrizio de Andre sings in ‘Nella mia ora di liberta’ (In my freedom hour) that sometimes violence is more human than law. It seems to confute Kant < the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me>>, but it actually proposes that failing the moral law must also be accepted as part of being human. This is the case of the wolf. I fantasize about encounters between undefended humans and wolves. I wonder how I would imagine a wolf after an encounter in the dangers of the night, as if little red riding hood was asked to make some drawings. Fear is part of life; found outside the borders of empire."
