[Excerpt]
man fears nothing more than being do touch the unknown. Everywhere man avoids contact with the stranger. Even when we mix with people on the street, avoid any physical contact. If we do, is because someone has fallen into grace. The speed with which we apologize when an involuntary physical contact, highlights this aversion contact. Only
immersed in the mass, man can free himself of this fear of being touched. It is the only situation in which that fear becomes its opposite. This requires the sa ma dense, in which each body is close to the other; dense also in civic formation, because within it do not pay attention to who is the narrowing to one. As we surrender to the mass, we no longer fear his touch. At this ideal situation, all are equal.
The compulsion to grow first and paramount is the property of the estate. Incorporates all those put at your fingertips. The dough mass is natural open without preset limits. As quickly emerges, the mass disintegrates. Always alive in her presentiment of disintegration, of the threat and trying to escape through accelerated growth. The mass resignation closed and growth is concentrated in its permanence, seeks to establish itself by creating its own space to be limited.
...
The closed canopy tend to stability, through the invention of rules and ceremonies that capture features to its members. Regular attendance in the church, accurate and well-known repetition of certain rites, is guaranteed to mass something like a tame experience itself.
...
The attack from outside can only strengthen the dough. Physically separated, its members tend to gather more strength.
The attack from within is, however, really dangerous. A strike that has obtained certain concessions will disintegrate before our eyes. The attack from within due to individual desires. The dough feels like a bribe, as immoral, as opposed to its clear and transparent basic condition. Everyone who belongs to a mass carries with it a little traitor willing to eat, drink, love and live in peace. The dough is always threatened from within and from outside. A mass is not increasing fasting.
The main attributes of the mass are as follows:
1. The dough always wants to grow.
2. Inside the mass equality reigned. All the demands of justice, all egalitarian theories derive their energy ultimately from the experience of equality that everyone recognizes its way from the mass.
3. The mass loves density.
4. The mass is always moving toward something. There while you have a goal not met.
The sa ma constitutes harassment aimed at taking the rapid realization of a goal. He or she is known, and is reported accurately; is also nearby.
out mass killing and know who wants to kill.
With unparalleled decision moving toward this goal and it is impossible to hide.
Just give it to learn, communicate just who should die so dough forms.
The determination of killing is of a very particular and no it is exceeded in intensity.
Everyone wants to participate, all beat. In order to strike his blow, each makes its way up to the same side of the victim. If you can not hit, wants to see how others beat.
All sticks out as the same creature. But the arms that hit have more value and more weight.
The goal is everything. The victim is the target, but also point maximum density, concentrated in itself, the actions of all.
A major reason for the rapid growth of mass harassment is absent ence danger. There is no danger because the superiority of the mass is huge. The victim can do nothing against it. Or run away or become trapped. For the vast majority of men, a murder without risk, tolerated, encouraged and shared with many others is irresistible.
Es una empresa tan fácil y se desarrolla con tanta rapidez, que hay que darse prisa para llegar a tiempo.
La prisa, la euforia y la seguridad de una masa semejante tienen algo de siniestro. Es la excitación de unos ciegos, tanto más ciegos, cuanto que de pronto creen ver.
La masa procede al sacrificio y ejecución de la víctima para liberarse de golpe y como para siempre de la muerte de todos los que la constituyen.
What then happens is quite the opposite. Since the implementation, but only after she feels more than ever threatened by death. Disintegrate and disperse in a kind of escape.
Your fear will be greater the higher the status of the victim. Can maintain its cohesion only if happen very quickly a series of facts and identical events.
death rates among a horde or people may make an individual can distinguish two main forms.
One is the exclusion, and the other, the collective execution.
In the latter case, the condemned man is led to an open and stoned him. Everyone participates in this death, hit by the stones of all the blame falls. No one is appointed as the executor. Is the entire community that kills.
The collective killing trend persists even where it has lost the habit of stoning. Death by fire can be compared: fire acting in place of the crowd who wanted the death of the condemned.
All forms of public performance refers to the ancient practice of collective execution. The real executioner is the mass that gathers around the scaffold. Do not let the victim take it easily. Notice of the condemnation of Christ reflects this fact in all its essence. The cry of "crucify him!" Out of the mass. She is really active, at other times, she would have been in charge of everything and would have stoned to Christ.
The effect occurs in the crowd to see the head of the executed is not limited at all in the download. Falling head in the crowd, and stop being above the same with all, each individual is reflected in it. His severed head is thus a threat. As the head becomes part of the mass, it is also affected by his death, frightened and suffering a mysterious horror begins to disintegrate. And is spreading out in a kind of escape.
The disintegration of the mass of harassment, once he has paid his victim, is particularly fast.
The powerful feel threatened are very aware of this fact and would typically be a victim to the mass to stop its growth. Many political executions have been ordered just for this purpose.
The revulsion caused by the collective performance is of very recent date and should not be underestimated. But today everyone participates in public executions through the media com munication . In the public media has been kept alive a moderate harassment mass, the more the further away is irresponsible of events, would be tempted to say that is its most despicable and at the same time, more desirable.
Out of the masses of harassment, Canetti distinguishes four body types: the mass of flight the masses ban, the investment masses and the masses holiday.
Canetti called "ground glass" those small human groups and rigid, well defined and highly stable, which serve to trigger the formation of masses.
is important that such groups are seen as a whole, that they are comprised of a look. His unit is much more important than its size. The ground glass is durable. Its members have been trained to share a plan of action or some specific ideas. Whoever see or know you should feel, above all, never disintegrate.
Sharpness, isolation and constancy of crystal mass, in contrast to the turbulent events that occur within the mass itself. The process of growth, rapid and uncontrollable, and the threat of disintegration that confer its ability to mass stability do not act within the crystal. Canetti
symbols called mass the collective units that are not owned by men, and however, are perceived as masses. Such units are wheat and the forest, rain, wind, sand, sea and fire. Remind us of the mass, and is represented symbolically in the myth and dream, in speech and singing. Crystals
mass and mass derived from an older unit, which is still the same: the mutation. As hordes of small numbers, which are in small bands of ten or twenty men, the mutation is a form of collective excitation with which we encounter everywhere. The mutation is a unit of action and is manifested in concrete. It has from those who wish to explore the origins of mass behavior. Canetti distinguishes four types of mutation: the home, the war, that of lamentation and multiplication.
