NOMADOLOGY

Nomadism is a strategy of the present. There is not one nomadic strategy but a multiplicity of micro-strategies.


Nomadism as a concept is a war-machine, created to resist monolithism, to transcend domestification and alienation. Therefore, it is a strategy of consciousness, opening and resistance. It is the strategy of the movement for the movement.


Nomadism is a tribal strategy, relying on community, hospitality and exchange. These values are essential to the survival of nomads. Nomadism is a strategy for those who do not want to renounce to their freedom.

Thank you for opening my eyes to this concept.I have always known it as a PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE of those after whom it is named. I knew that there must be a system to the "madness" of constant movement of a whole community
(e.g the Maasai of East africa)but never did I ever imagine that this would be extended (as a strategy) to deal with the modern menaces of hegemony and imperialism. Bravo!
