Régis Debray, Media Manifestos: On the Technological Transmission of Cultural Forms
"Truly, more than removing the partition between vectors and values, we would have needed to talk about strengthening crisscrossed lacings: an intertwined kind of understanding that would de-ideologize 'ideologies,' desanctify sanctities, but also mentalize the material bases of systems of inscription, and psychoanalyze not souls but tools. That is, in one and the same gesture, make our mnemo-technic equipment intelligible as mentality and our mental equipment intelligible as technology."

"حقًا، أكثر من إزالة الحاجز بين المتجهات والقيم، كان الأجدر بنا أن نتحدث عن تقوية الوشائج المتقاطعة: نوع من الفهم المتشابك من شأنه أن يزيل الأدلجة عن "الأيديولوجيات"، وينزع القداسة عن المقدسات، بل وأيضًا يعقلن الأسس المادية لأنظمة التدوين، ويحلل نفسيًا لا النفوس بل الأدوات. أي، في لفتة واحدة، يجعل معداتنا التذكارية-التقنية مفهومة كذهنية، ومعداتنا الذهنية مفهومة كتقنية."
