Crary identifies Sartre's Critique of Dialectical Reason as "one of the great works of social thought from the 1960s" (115)
"Central to the Critique is its meditation on the systemic strategies of separation that prevent the objective reality of daily life from being perceived by the individuals who inhabit it"
"Among its many interrelated themes, it addressed our relative incapacity to see the nature of our own situatedness in the world"
the concept of the "fused group," a "privileged but precarious formation," can serve as a "possible route out of the nightmare of serialization and isolation. Its appearance in history means the realization of a group whose praxis has the capacity to create new forms of sociality"
this was an influence on Deleuze and Guattari, who found Sartre's thinking here to be "profoundly correct"
