The Twenty-Seven Lenses

19. Critical-theory / power-analytic

Read how this lens works

Foucault · Adorno · Bourdieu · Gramsci

The readings follow the same through-line order used throughout the system, making it possible to compare what this lens changes from one idea to the next.

8. Calibration language over characterological language

14. Architecture protects relationships, rather than perception management

Counter-conduct against impression-management apparatus.

16. Ambivalence as a stance — both/and rather than either/or

Mouffe’s agonistic pluralism.
