At the risk of speaking on a completely different plane, and using your
terminolgy to different ends . . .

I would like to think that you can recognize a nomad by what is reflected
in their eyes, not by what is inside, not by the stories they have to tell
of their travels, not by what is behind their eyes, but by the territorial
assemblage that is reflected in the screen of the eye. The home that
that is distributed in their proximity, which makes their subjectivities
possible, and which is refracted back into the universe from their point
of specificity.

Just a thought,

stephen.
