Theoretical and Poetic Inquiry into Indetermined Intergenerationality: Entering into and Going Beyond the Authors'...

Following the reflection in the editorial on the importance of indeterminacy as a thematic and a way to look at intergenerationality in a dynamic fashion, I present the tendency to refuse indeterminacy versus going into it. I present the authors' critic of the first tendency and I highlight how they implicitly present indeterminacy. I refer to Bergson's concept of empty form to guide my analysis that aims to making visible some tacit aspects in the authors' analysis. Then, I go more deeply into the authors' invisible reasoning by getting inspiration from Goethe's concept of active absence-I use one of the papers to present the hidden conditions of catalytic process characterizing indeterminacy. I particularly shed light on one of the authors hidden aspect-affectivity as an intermediary form that is made invisible probably because it does not fit with their theoretical framework acting as a screen (putting some dimensions into the shadow). This leads me to delve into how indeterminacy enables cracking the SURFACE-going under the superficial aspect of our life (our tendency to refuse indeterminacy). I also delve into the poetic dimension of indeterminacy and present some general implications of this analysis for theorization.
