Abstract
The possibilities for Diasporic nomadism and counter-education are ontologically grounded yet they are historically realized. They are historically advanced and threatened within rich enduring conflicting relations between Eros and Thanatos; between the transcendence from nothingness and a quest for “homereturning” to the totality of thingness. This dialectics between immanence and transcendence, homogeneity and heterogeneity, stand-still and movement is today gravely deconstructed. After such a long and dramatic struggle between the God of creation and the Gnostic god it seems that we have finally reached the triumphant moment of the quest for “homereturning”: nothingness, finally, having the upper hand (Gur-Ze’ev, 2009).
