Subject and truth: towards a genealogy of militant subjectivity

Abstract
For some time I have inquired about the problematic of the subject and the truth, in conceptual and practical terms, always reading at the same time the intellectual debates within the left-wing thought and the situated political conjuncture (Author). However, lately and increasingly, especially because of the implications of the pandemic, I have decided to give greater emphasis to the practical role of philosophy and its force of subjective transformation at all possible levels. In this practical turn, as I call it, the question of militant subjectivities has been taking on greater prevalence in order to constitute a situated and critical thinking of the present (Author). I consider it necessary to make a genealogy of militant subjectivity that takes as main reference our recent history, to locate the limits of the present. In this sense, first of all, I would like to recount the encounter with two exemplary investigations that helped me to think of a possible thread of this genealogy: the relationship with the dead, ghosts and disappeared; I refer to the investigations of Mariana Tello Weiss and Vinciane Despret. Secondly, I want to open the field to new connections and compositions with other ongoing research and interventions that investigate this same problem. Finally, I would like to bring back those Foucaultian traces that outline a genealogy of revolutionary subjectivity to understand the limits of our current constitution.
