    Paul Otlet: An Omissum

    April 17, 2020 Mondotheque

    “This omissum is an attempt to address a blindspot in Mondotheque::a radiated book, and intends to intervene in the way Paul Otlet has been portrayed in general. Terms like ‘visionary’ or ‘pacifist’ are used, among others, to paint a romantic image of Otlet as a charismatic, heroic figure. An omissum is attached to Mondotheque::a radiated book to signal the fact that the figure as well as his oeuvre are committed to a colonial and racist project.”
