"Atlas brings together a collection of empirical, symbolic, and critical texts from many academic disciplines-history, political science, art criticism, theory of criticism, literature, visual poetry, and verse-as well as a number of texts which were manifestos in their time. The point of this mass of fields is to create an autonomous space for reflection and the imagination so that it is possible, in the emancipatory movement from primary, objectivist, and engaged thinking, to proceed to activity. It offers themes for criticism, destruction, reflection, intellectual shifts, or imaginative conjunctions."
