Fragmentation —of a community, of a state of historical affairs, of a set of assumptions about the world— can be used as a platform on which to build a story, or a set of references that become a poetic explanation of events, or a philosophical analysis of what may have seemed like cause and effect in one moment, while later it seems like a set of inevitable pieces fitting together to form the “big picture” that was somehow most likely to take shape.
