Abstract

The subject has become a crucial issue of our time. A reflection on its elimination should be completed in three forms: its radical destruction (genocide), its colonial, racial, and sexual discrimination, and its neutralization in contemporary societies that appear the most democratic. Anthropology should free the subject from the notion of individual, a historical and cultural construct that is anything but universal, and raise this question: how can those considered as objects claim back a player role?
