À propos de cet événement

***House of the beloved***

House of the Beloved (HotB) can be understood as a minoritarian monastery in the Deleuzian sense: not a retreat from the world, but a site where alternative modes of subjectivity are continuously produced. The monastery is organized around dynamic processes of self-transformation, where truth is not possessed but questioned and enacted, and freedom is not granted but practiced.

***Minoritarian***

In Deleuze’s terms, HotB is not a “majoritarian” institution that seeks recognition, stability, or moral authority. It is minoritarian: it creates conditions for becoming-other within the dominant order. Its ethos of “being different together” resists fascism not by opposing it symmetrically, but by dissolving the very psychic and relational structures on which fascism feeds—rigid identity, fear of difference, projection, and the fetishization of authority.

Through embodied practices of presence, inquiry, devotion, and relational experimentation, the monastery cultivates subjects who are capable of holding contradiction, ambiguity, and vulnerability without collapsing into violence or dogma.

***Thinktank***
