What are some of your favorite works that talk about the levelling gaze of bourgeois modernity? Whether you want to call it the technological enframing of onto-theology, or the Cartesian worldview of the Enlightenment, or whatever else.

What works do you think best outline a plan of escape? Deleuze and Guattari? Variants of fascist decisionism? Neo-romantic irrationalism or political theology? A "post-philosophy" of pure dialogical immanence? Some kind of return to God?

Does Verschmelzung with some radical alterity actually allow an escape from the levelling gaze? If we truly encounter some "other" clearing of being, some other world, does it "come before" the universality of the technological Gestell, or reconstitute it?

Virilio is a decent starting point for urban studies/media studies/philosophy (what constitutes this gaze). Deleuze and Deleuzian sociology will let you formalise your own ideas in this department once you've got the basics (history of technology, history of western philosophy, relation of literature to philosophy and science) down.

Also read Habermas - he asks all the right questions but imo doesn't reach the "right" answers.
