1 An attempt to pronounce the abbreviation of the project places it somewhere in-between two words: “wait”
and “weight”.
2 The fact that we intentionally appropriate this sentence from the introductory text in the catalogue of our
project The Salon of Revolution (HDLU, Zagreb, October, 2008) additionally confirms this thesis.

6 Revelation is missing only with criminal and benefactor; the first must hide from others, and the other must
be without self and preserve anonymity. Both, according to Arendt, are isolated figures – one against all, and
the other for all people.

8 After the massacre of Tiananmen on June 4, 1989, many students emigrated and went on their fight for freedom
of speech in the western neo-liberal democracies where freedom of speech is constitutionally guaranteed,
where the argument for freedom of speech rests precisely on the differentiation of speech from action – according
to it, speaking cannot be acquainted with action, with physical conflict, with aggression and hence,
allegedly, cannot affect the (de)stabilisation of society

11 “You share the impossibility of community and in this sharing there is your chance of community. It is the
community which cannot send you to death. You might have a voluntary death, that is a possibility, but there
is no expectation except this sharing which is not a word or an abstract concept. You can only share because as
a community it is impossible to do so. This sounds very vague, it sounds like nothing compared to all these big
promises we have about what will happen if we have community, but this vagueness is, I think, worthwhile to
explore”, www.egs.edu/faculty/nancy/nancy-roundtable-discussion2001.html
12 Jean-Luc Nancy, „Eulogy for the Mêlé“, in Being Singular Plural, Standford University Press, 2000
13 Breaking up the homogeneity of identity offered by Nancy’s being singular plural, or Agamben’s whatever
singularity is a transgression of the existing order of things: ”[w]hat the State cannot tolerate in any way, however,
is that the singularities form a community without affirming an identity, that humans co-belong without
any representable condition of belonging (even in the form of a simple presupposition)…For the State, therefore,
what is important is never singularity as such, but only its inclusion in some identity, whatever identity
(but the possibility of the whatever itself being taken up without an identity is a threat the State cannot come
to terms with)”, quoted in: Suzana Milevska, „The Phantasm(s) of Belonging: Belonging without Having Something
