| Long abstract | AM: “Settle thy studies, Faustus, and begin / To sound the depths of that thou wilt profess.”1 Thinking about what to do next we are liable to be haunted by past efforts, per-haps by a diabolical presence such as this German magus, mocking any attempts to enumerate all we've tried and to propose some new and occult mode of inquiry. As if successive attempts to do more, or better, with less would be sufficiently original (“Foucault farewell! Where is Har-man?”). Should we always be in pursuit of The Next Big Thing? Perhaps the first thing to consider is the risk that in seeking to gain divinity, we will lack all ambition to invent other futures. “Lines, circles, schemes, letters, and charac-ters! / Ay, these are those that Faustus most desires. O what a world of profit and delight, / Of power, of honour, of omnipotence / Is promised the studious artisan!”2 But is that what we really want now? |
