Abstract

In this essay I propose that the experience of Rimbaud's poetry, Lacanian-oriented psychoanalysis, and the politics of emancipation are formally very similar. These three experiences are based on the motto “I am an other”, by going through them we can deconstruct what power has made of us and discover unprecedented possibilities of existence. I propose the “swarm” as a new political subject that arises from this decentering of identity and the reinvention of love that has to do with the recreation of social bonds.
