About the Event
‘Polyamorous’, ‘pansexual’, ‘asexual’, but also ‘racialised’, ‘non-binary’, ‘hypersensitive’, ‘zebra’, ‘HIP’… From the refusal to be assigned a diagnosis to the self-nominations under which subjects now present themselves, the era is full of new signifiers that are proliferating, and around which new communities are gathering. What function can be attributed to these names, which the age seems quick to adorn, with the paradox that on the one hand there is confirmation of a movement towards generalised depathologisation against a backdrop of democratic egalitarianism, while on the other there is a demand to present oneself with a name, sometimes a name of jouissance that allows one to be inserted into society?
