Ernst Junger, Gestalt of the worker, Typus, World of Work, Total MobilizationAbstract
From the texts between wars, we will argue that Junger's analysis of the worker's Gestalt points to a new planetary order. Junger exalts the mastery of a new human Type, expressed in the worker, responsible for the total technical mobilization. As a way of confronting nihilism and world planning by overcoming the bourgeoisie, the worker emerges as a form of impersonal power, on which the destiny of the Earth rests, and from which results not only the active emptying of the values of the old order, but the possibility of a more elementary world, where there is not a single atom unrelated to work. Mobilizing all the forces of the production chain, the worker emerges as the fruit and configuring agent of the totality of work. Contrary to the state of commodities propagated by the bourgeoisie, it is capable of originating a new way of exercising power, however dangerous and painful it may be.
