Yet while the wager required the condensate of biological life (blood) to take effect and had the condensate of spiritual life (the soul) as its stake, the curse, a linguistic event par excellence, left no durable trace. [...]while the wager has to be undone and its enjeu-"Psyche mit den Flügeln"1 has to emerge for the drama to come to an end, the curse, diegetically speaking, simply could have been forgotten. In this view, Faust's entire drama, beginning with his disavowal of pure knowledge in the first night and culminating in the vision of terraforming in the last, is also the dramatized history of technics: it undergoes various historical transformations-intoxication, seduction, alchemy, financialization, visualization, and militarization-before it comes into its industrial own in Faust's last engineering project. Because it laid the ground for his bargain, Faust remembers the curse of the world just before his contract with the devil comes up.
