The Next Level: Rollbacks and Erasures in Three Acts.

In order to consider the way dispersal works over our presumptions in the films and texts collected by Elsaesser, one would want Benjamin and Heidegger at the table hosting a ghostly sprawl of contenders. Elsaesser, moreover, relied strongly on the pharmakon that Derrida draws from Plato's pharmacy and measures the gait of the I pharmakos i , monitoring the scapegoat's rounds of abject duty.
