Le corps au milieu: du désir au mouvement

Abstract

In this paper I claim that desire is essentially the movement through which the individual tends to detach himself from his oneness and homogeneity, and address the world and other individuals. This movement is what makes possible a relation with the world, and forms the individual himself. Such formation is never static and is rather a dynamic, continuous re-elaboration and change: both as adaptation of the individual to the world or as conditioning of the world by the individual.
