Maurizio Lazzarato: The Revolutions of Capitalism

THE OTHER AS EXPRESSION OF POSSIBLE WORLDS In his essay “From the revolutions of capitalism” (substance #112) Maurizio Lazzarato notes: As we have seen, there is another tradition in modernity, which conceptualizes the architectonics of the world in terms of what Mikhail Bakhtin defines as the self/other relation. The relation between self and other must be understood neither as a relation between a subject and an object nor as a relation between subjects, but rather as an event-like relation between “possible worlds.” The other is neither an object nor a subject; it is the expression of possible worlds.
