AN OFT-HEARD CLAIM HOVERS AT THE HORIZON OF OUR THOUGHTS, PROnouncing that everything is political [tout est politique]. 1 The claim can be proffered or received in several different ways: on certain occasions, according to a thought of distribution (the moments or diverse elements of shared existence all in some way belong to the moment or element called the "political," to which falls a privilege of diffusion or of transversality); on others, in a domineering gesture (in the first or last instance, the "political" sphere is that which determines or controls the activity of the other spheres); and, on other occasions still, in a form of integration or assumption (the essence of existence as a whole is of a political nature). In each of these cases, the tone of the enunciation or of the reception can be resigned, disconcerted, affirmative or contentious
