In-Statuere. Figures of Institutional Building

Abstract

‘Being together’ obviously means something more, such as being with some third, someone not yet present. If we had to describe this novelty in the development of the ‘In-statuere’ (de)construction, we would begin from the number of acts continuously enlarged, increased by the reciprocal activity of multiple actors. A group of individuals gathers to address a problem, transparently design a solution, construct a general plan of action for providing help, and organize a series of future actions in a disciplined manner that are intended to bring about a given social change. An institution is impossible if there are no experiments or a universal solution to a general problem, one that affects everybody. There can be no institution without the organization of joint resistance, and a project of counter-institution.
