What is a self, before it becomes ideological?
Before it speaks a language, enters a nation, or desires what others desire?

In Architectures I – Foundations in Pre-Ideology, Naxan Ane confronts the foundational structures that shape our perception of selfhood, power, emotion, and identity—before ideology calcifies them into form. This book excavates the architectures beneath the visible: the emotional scaffolding of desire, the symbolic crowning of authority, the embodied memory of submission, and the fragmented mirrors of self-recognition.

Drawing on political philosophy, affect theory, psychoanalysis, and cultural criticism, Ane does not ask what we believe—but what we inherit. What precedes the claim "I believe" in a system already built?

Blending lyrical insight with razor-sharp theoretical dissection, this first volume of the Architectures series offers a unique synthesis of structural analysis and poetic subversion. It is not merely a book—it is a blueprint of the hidden emotional and symbolic infrastructures that govern modern subjectivity.

For readers of Byung-Chul Han, Mark Fisher, and Lacan—this is not a manifesto.
It is a mirror. And perhaps, a fracture.
