This text is a collection of ideas concerning the notions of text and politics. In many cases, there are direct links between text and political commitment. But certain currents in search of political identification want to convert the leaflet into a prospectus and the activist into a political operator. This should be examined in the light of what history has produced. The text in question does not pretend to be a reflection, but rather a collection of vague, soulless ideas about what is happening in the world, namely the evolution of the Subject, after having gone through long periods that have sometimes fixed it, sometimes pushed it into metamorphoses.
