Abstract

In order to do it, this essay presents a lecture of the film capturing the distinctive aspects of the current time: the inexistence of the Other. It propose interpret this inexistence of the Other, as a possible feminization of the world, which at the same time corresponds to a singular ethics, opposed to the particular ethics.
