Mutation: the absolute pause of the action

Main Article Content

Willy Thayer

Abstract

Based on Rossi Braidotti's phrase: "I will place mutations at the center of the analysis" (2005, p. 17), what is attempted in this writing is to expose the performance of the limit mutation as a flight from the horizon of action. The exposition of the concept of mutation as an absolute pause of action is preparatory to an exposition of mutation as an absolute pause of capital (of capital action). The exposition of mutation as an absolute pause of capital, is not developed, however, in this article. Nevertheless, it is relevant for a better understanding of this, to read it in that profession of faith. In the profession of faith of the mutation we also escape the heteronormed horizon of the revolution. Without this article extending thematically to the displacement of revolutionary action by mutant performance, it is in the resonance of that displacement that I propose to be read.
