Không biết, tôi đã đọc ở đâu, một í kiến về thời gian, như thế này: hiện tại được coi, như biên giới của hai KHÔNG. Cái KHÔNG thứ nhất là dĩ vãng, vốn đã có, bây giờ không có nữa. Cái KHÔNG thứ hai là tương lai, bây giờ chưa có, vì vậy bây giờ cũng không. Hiện tại chính là khoảng sột soạt giữa hai bờ vực ấy, giữa hai cái KHÔNG ấy. Cho nên hiện tại cũng không là gì cả. ↗

This assumption of the intrinsically repressive nature of collective experience and redemptive power of individuation is a staple of contemporary art theory and criticism. I would argue that a closer analysis of collaborative and collective art practices can reveal a more complex model of social change and identity, one in which the binary oppositions of divided vs. coherent subjectivity, desiring singularity vs. totalizing collective, liberating distanciation vs. stultifying interdependence, are challenged and complicated. ↗

Unquestionably, our contemporary world of music is far richer, in a sense, than earlier periods, due to the historical and geographical extensions of culture to which I have referred. ↗
