"There is no proper place: this includes ghettoes and kitchens, and all corresponding systems of the proper place. The politics of a rooms of one's own has to be rethought today, however enlightened it was yesterday. The question is a hard one, surpassing as it does the video game logic of good versus evil, winner and loser, presence and absence: can there be an atopicality of the community that nonetheless gathers, a community going nowhere, but ecstatic, a community of shattered egos, where the control towers come tumbling down, and where the other is genuinely anticipated?"

-Avital Ronell, 'A disappearance of community'
