The double meaning in the name of Pan has been a fact before etymology established its claim to a hegemonic dominion over the legitimacy of meaning. But etymology uncovers the traces of the title in its archaic origin as follows: \u03a0\u03ac\u03bd<\/i> derives from \u03a0\u03b1\u03c9\u03bd<\/i>, which in turn refers to the name of a mighty Indo-European pastoral deity).<\/span><\/p>\n The pandemic, this freeze, this seeming freezing up of time in the vertical of the event, took me by surprise precisely at the time of my obsession with Pan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I was preparing to announce the return of the Great god Pan – in my latest book and in spellbound activity during the first days of springtime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Pan is here, invisible, yet ubiquitous, like what is unforeseeable, like what is the most obscure trace of hereness.
