Traumatic ontology
pp. 19-40
Abstract
A crowd shouts down an official, turns against the government, and enters a mood of revolution. A manager backs down in the face of hostility from his coworkers and becomes a coward in his eyes and their own. A heartbroken girl sees a crucifix as if for the first time and dedicates herself to her religion as never before.
