| description | My purpose here will be to try and outline the principle upon which a political bond, free from the imaginary and symbolical preconceptionswhich allegedly define the nature of political subjects can be founded. In other words, a political bond which would not be determined by ’society’, and the imaginary and symbolic identifications it forces upon it. Such politics – that I define as minimal – ought to be impervious to thecurrently prevailing social discourses. It cannot possibly rely on upon them. Devising politics in such a way boils down to drawing the lessonsfrom history : basing the political bond upon any Other (be it God, race, sex, money etc.) always ends up justifying inequalities, exclusions, evenexecutions, in the name of that Other and its imperatives. Should one refuse to conceive of politics in such a way, what happens ? On the one hand,the subjects – whom we now should call citizens -, thus freed of any social identification, will enjoy equality and universal rights ; on the otherhand, one must have the courage to accept a political bond whose legitimacy does not stem from that Other. Thus judicial and political minimalismenables citizens to form political bonds independently of social relationships : political bonding necessarily entails a rejection of social bonding. To conceive of a bond which will not be subservient to a master signifier, to attempt to ‘decomplete’ the Other and to conceive of the relationshipas a non-relationship cannot be done without the contribution of Lacan’s works. Once again, it leads us to tackle the oft-discussed question of theconnection between politics and psychoanalysis. |

Aquí estamos tratando de esbozar los principios de un vínculo político liberado de las presuposiciones imaginarias y simbólicas que definirían la naturaleza de los sujetos políticos. En otras palabras: de un vínculo político que no estaría determinado por la “sociedad” y las identificaciones imaginarias y simbólicas que impone al vínculo político. Tal política, que describimos como minimalista, debe ser indiferente a todas las consignas sociales: debe negarse a basarse en ellas. Decidir pensar en política de esta manera es sacar las consecuencias de una lección de la historia: basar el vínculo político en otro (Dios, raza, sexo, dinero, etc.) siempre determina justificar desigualdades, exclusiones, incluso asesinatos en nombre de este Otro y sus imperativos. Si rechazamos así cualquier fundamento político, ¿qué queda? Por un lado, el ejercicio de la igualdad y la universalidad de los derechos de los sujetos despojados de toda identificación social: deben llamarse “ciudadanos”; Por otro lado, el coraje de asumir un vínculo político sin la garantía de otro que encontraría este vínculo. Así, el minimalismo jurídico-político afirma que la conexión política de los ciudadanos tiene lugar en una no relación social: el principio de la conexión política es necesariamente la no conexión social. Sin embargo, concebir un enlace no subordinado a un significante maestro, tratar de “descomponer” el Otro y pensar en la relación en forma de no relación, es aprender de Lacan. Por lo tanto, es nuevamente confrontar la cuestión, tan a menudo estudiada, del vínculo entre política y psicoanálisis.
