And the Open Bridge: Labour, Enchantment, There Forever

Abstract

The bland does not utter the things of the world – does not paint the world

where they shed their distinctive traits, integrate their differences, and
give reign to their propensity for fusion. An imponderable quality …
blandness is, of necessity, fugitive … (Jullien, 2004: 91).
