Giovanbattista Tusa’s invited keynote lecture at the reseach group Constelação Selvagem of the Universidade Federal do Amazonas in Manaus, Brazil. In our time, the term "crisis" has become the name of a transformative instance that does not yet have a form, an unidentifiable figure that resists all previous polarizations and positions. "Crisis" describes an impasse, denoting the moment when a subject is deprived of its dominance. When all historical power relations begin to falter, new transitions emerge. The eschatological line of historical time shatters into an endless variety of climatic, social and technological catastrophes, and even progress implodes and collides with the immemorial times of cosmic contingencies.
