Agnes, the madwoman of the forgetme- not: the collapse of singularity and the resistance to common places

Abstract

Through Agnes, a character in his novel Immortality, Milan Kundera reflects on singularity in contemporary world. Singularity is being cannibalized by imagologists, the mass media and the common places these phenomena originate. This reflection will approach the character as the symbol of a singularity in danger and as an aesthetic possibility of resistance via a collapse as a singular possibility.
