219alization normally has to do with a homogenization of space and an erasure of differ-
ences between places, this particular articulation of a nod in the network is not part
of this tendency. This is because formis given here to the trend toward formlessness
and entropy. What is involved is a mimetic operation in the sense of Lacoue-
Labarthe’s typography: a form (typos) is engraved, grafted, and printed on the very
local intersection of the network, and it is precisely this form that permits a caesura
to be created, providing for a temporary stoppage in the continual circulation of men
and things. In this caesura, in that stoppage, culture is given an opportunity to act in
a way that goes beyond mere entertainment and amusement. This caesura means
that a margin is provided where something elseis possible. That is the achievement
of mimesis here.218
