Abstract

The essay proposes to carry out an exercise with the purpose of provoking in every reader an animal feeling. This exercise is accompanied by the realization of a dynasty that seeks to unearth the power relations that have established man’s domination over the animal. After the revelation of such power relations, the characteristics of the proto-state of the mirror, whose principle lies in the production of the man from the animal reflex, will be exposed. From this point, it becomes possible to develop the following hypothesis: if man has been produced through the animal reflex, the man would result from the becoming-with-animals. This would allow us to give rise to a zone of contact in which it would be possible to conduct resistance with them. Thus, based on what had been said, we would be able to find a way out of the state of man's dominion over the animal.
