The only way to establish a cultural comparison would be to look at the processes of purification (understood as a mediational process) and translation: so-called natures and societies have only been ‘segregated’ in our civilization (our collective) through these mediational processes. Nevertheless, the work of translation has been also constant in other collectives, forming ‘rhizomes’ as well (see FIGURE 3).
