decomposition: the conversion of chemically unstable materials to more stable forms by chemical or biological action If organic matter decays when there is no oxygen present (anaerobic conditions or putrefaction), undesirable tastes and odors are produced Decay of organic matter when oxygen is present (aerobic conditions) tends to produce much less objectionable tastes and odors
decomposition: The process by which traditional cultural forms have destroyed themselves, under the effects of the appearance of superior means of dominating nature, permitting and requiring superior cultural constructions We distinguish between an active phase of decomposition, effective demolition of older superstructures -- which ends around 1930 -- and a phase of repetition, which has dominated since then The delay in the passage from decomposition to new constructions is tied to the delay in the revolutionar y liquidation of capitalism

decomposition: The process in which traditional cultural forms have destroyed themselves as a result of the emergence of superior means of dominating nature which make possible and necessary superior cultural constructions We can distinguish between the active phase of the decomposition and effective demolition of the old superstructures which came to an end around 1930 and a phase of repetition that has prevailed since that time The delay in the transition from decomposition to new constructions is linked to the delay in the revolutionary liquidation of capitalism
