Rethinking also implies reflecting: articulating with words, concepts, ideas; or looking in the mirror, distorting or informing; or connecting, reading, and caring. And what do we need to think? In rethinking, it seems that this has already been thought once, as a prescriptive (you have to do or pay attention to)—at least once—but we should restate that thought, not through “endurance” but as a shift, a revolution, or perhaps a return. In this sense, rethinking is never an ordinary movement, but an act of retracing and remembering. What can memory be in daily life, which is not memorial or mental image? There is of course scenery, monuments, culture, and the boundaries of places. But these are macroscopic. I wanted to talk about a minimal, infinitely small, almost insignificant, and in any case very modest subject: paper.
