Abstract

The chapter presents a discussion about the unformed developing some thoughts by Henri Michaux with focus on this book Emergences and Resurgences. It presents a reflection that aims to answer to the contemporary search of new forms of life, of other forms for a world when the destruction of worlds become the common praxis of the world. The main thesis is that Michaux’s lessons of the unformed present another path to face the destruction of the world, the difficult path to sustain existence in the passing and its passages, listening to the resurgence of emergences. Somehow echoing Bataille’s thoughts on the unformed, Michaux’s thoughts open new views to face the compulsion of form at the basis of every form of fascism.
