Master Narratives
In narrative language found its guns.
Animating all narrative, the will to power sets the plot in motion.
Maybe Sade stumbled upon the true story of story: Let’s play master and servant.
The master narrative of story is none other than the will-to-mastery.
Narrative sets humanity—a part of nature—apart from nature: Let the domination begin!
Meaning as instrument of closure. (Story tortures the
endless into ending.)
The unsolved mystery of story: how was nature—extravagantly meaningless—mastered (even if only symbolically) by meaning?
Closure also a fantasy of mastery, the end mastering time, time dividing reality (which, however, haunts story as invincible, indivisible unfolding.)
