The "experience" that Nancy has described is apparently analogous to certain of the claims Theall makes for the "relevance" of Finnegans Wake to the latest media technologies. He draws a sustained analogy between the semantic overdeterminations of Finnegans Wake and the definition of "Cyberspace" by William Gibson as a "'consensual hallucination' produced by 'data abstracted the banks of every computer in the human system' [which] creates an 'unthinkable complexity'" (Theall). For Theall the "hallucination" is completely within a sphere of data, of bits or bytes of information. Theall's claims nostalgically remain within the semic (as do, ultimately, Baudrillard's) whereas Nancy is attempting to propose an operation of dissolution in which there had been no prior possibility of meaning. Bluntly (and not entirely accurately), dissolution--and not solution--is the pre-position.
