Abstract

A pandemic brings multiple resonances in the subjects, society and even in the practice of psychoanalysis. The current scenario makes it possible to
see, at this juncture, an Other that staggers in its countenances of knowing, of governing, of healing. We are still out of perspective, but we can sketch
out some ideas, if we can untie a little from our love with truth, exactitude and magister dixit.
The present work covers various effects of the pandemic taking into account a neologism by Lacan, which Miller took up in his Course and which
allows locating different external intimacies or intimate externalities. Extimacy is then presented in this essay as a conceptual contribution from
which it is possible to trace various reflections on our present time.
From there and taking into account the contributions of art, it will be possible to reflect on the processes of segregation, one of the problems that
our current society is going through with a notable presence
