TRANSMUTATIONS OF THE LOGOS IN POSTMODERN SOCIETY

Stages of diurn: from logos to logistics
Let us trace the fate of the logos in Postmodernity. It is extremely important to always remember that the logos is one of the manifestations of the heroic myth , that is, the product of the diurna regime (according to J. Durand’s classification)). And not unique and not absolute. Logos includes the antithetical and pleonasmic sides of the heroic myth (heterogenizing homogenization) and brings them to the last limit. But at the same time, it leaves in the myth (in the unconscious) such aspects of diurn as a direct mad will to power, passionarity and hyperbolization. Of course, these aspects of the diurna – relatives of the logos – penetrate the logos, but not explicitly , but due to the inertia of the heroic myths’ attraction to each other (that is, not logically).

La rébellion de Evgueni Prigojine

Contrairement aux commentaires de la presse occidentale, Evgueni Prigojine n’a jamais tenté de coup d’État contre Vladimir Poutine. Il a voulu le faire chanter afin de conserver les privilèges exorbitants qu’il a accumulés depuis la création de sa société militaire privée. Puis il s’est rendu à la raison et a réintégré son poste.

Prigozhin’s Mutiny Is the Beginning of Putin’s End

Nobody in Russia understands what the war in Ukraine is about. And now, nobody knows if that war is coming to them.

When I saw the first images of armed men in ragtag uniforms taking over the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don on Saturday morning, I was immediately reminded of the “little green men” who began showing up in cities in Crimea and eastern Ukraine in 2014. Like the Russian troops and soldiers-of-fortune who began the Kremlin’s covert invasion of Ukraine, the fighters in Rostov displayed no insignia as they seized key buildings, including the headquarters of Russia’s Southern Military District. Just as in Ukraine nine years ago, there was no resistance from local law enforcement officers, who chose life over a fight with determined gunmen.

Moscow’s Mayhem Isn’t Over Yet

Top Russian officials rallied around President Vladimir Putin in a clear sign of support for the Kremlin on Monday, two days after paramilitary Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin seized the strategic city of Rostov-on-Don and began an advance toward the capital.

Au Sahel, le trafic de drogue prospère grâce aux groupes armés

Les quantités de cocaïne, saisies notamment au Mali, au Burkina Faso et au Niger ont explosé en 2022 selon le rapport de l’Office des Nations unies contre la drogue et le crime.

Le groupe Wagner va continuer ses opérations au Mali et en Centrafrique, affirme la diplomatie russe

Le groupe paramilitaire Wagner va continuer d’opérer au Mali et en Centrafrique, a assuré le 26 juin 2023 le chef de la diplomatie russe, qui affirme en outre que la rébellion de cette organisation en Russie n’affectera pas la relation entre Moscou et ses amis. Les membres de Wagner travaillent au Mali et en République centrafricaine « comme instructeurs » vont « bien sûr continuer », a déclaré Sergueï Lavrov dans un entretien à la chaîne RT.

Wagner group mercenaries in Africa: why there hasn’t been any effective opposition to drive them out

It is easy to understand what African rulers see in the mercenary group Wagner. Its fighters can be deployed quickly. It brings sophisticated arms with it and can apply force speedily and ruthlessly.

Alternative sources of military muscle have flaws: United Nations missions lack robust mandates; African Union (AU) forces lack the arms and motivation; European Union interveners bear the legacy of colonial repression. The US has little interest in Africa beyond supporting fights against Salafi terrorists.
