Forty texts (thirty-eight short and two longer ones), written over a period of about four years, with relative thematic autonomy among them.
But only relative. A more provocative title for this volume could be: "Obsessions". It really is about the author's fixed ideas, which include not only the three very general concepts of the chosen title, along with some other general ones - space, everyday life - but also somewhat more specific issues: the enigmatic thought of Michel Foucault, the rationality of nationalism, the political and cultural aspects of capitalism, the ideological influence of cinema.
