I met Castoriadis only twice, once in Paris in 1979, and then repeatedly in Melbourne in 1991 over the time of the Thesis Eleven Conference on Reason and Imagination. Both these encounters, in different ways, were transformative for me. As it happens, I remember them very well. As the distance risks clouding memory, I take time in this paper to reconstruct and share these stories. They take us back to the world through which we first encountered Castoriadis, as Paul Cardan, via the efforts of London Solidarity and its emblematic hedgehog – small and prickly, doesn’t like being interfered with; known to pop up in ways that might just be revolutionary. This was Castoriadis as I first encountered him, and this was the culture I likely never got past: Socialisme ou Barbarie, en anglais.

记住卡斯托里亚迪斯

我只见过卡斯托里亚迪斯两次，一次是 1979 年在巴黎，然后是 1991 年关于理性与想象力的第十一届会议期间在墨尔本多次见面。这两次相遇，以不同的方式，对我来说都是变革性的。碰巧，我记得他们。由于距离可能会使记忆蒙上阴影，因此我在本文中花时间重建和分享这些故事。他们带我们回到了我们第一次遇到 Castoriadis 的世界，就像 Paul Cardan，通过伦敦团结工会的努力和它的标志性刺猬——小而多刺，不喜欢被干扰；以可能只是革命性的方式出现。这是我第一次遇到他的 Castoriadis，而这可能是我从未体验过的文化：Socialisme ou Barbarie, en anglais。
