Description
Summary:The lacanian concept of extimacy allows to do a reading about the present pandemic situation, with the consequent lockdown of the subjects “socially isolated”. It is possible to think about this context in notions like segregation and hate to the Other, like a stranger agent who is tried to eradicate,because of the difference that we find eerily familiar: the way that they enjoy. The question arises of how to think tolerance to the jouissance of theOther, which is experienced as unbearable and seeks to eliminate. The Netflix series Sense 8 is taken as the setting that allows these concepts to belinked, from a logic posed as a fiction of a common enjoyment of bodies.
