description Recent years have been marked by large-scale social social’s movement (France, Ukraine, Belarus, Algeria, Chile, Hong Kong, Colombia, the United States, Lebanon, etc.). Although these movements refer to specific situations and political issues, there are shared experiences and concordant narratives between them. These movements are also unique in that they claim to go beyond the usual methods of intervention in the political field. Instead of traditional union or political practices, they prefer more direct modes of intervention (occupation, blocking, fist-fighting, riots, etc.), without spokespersons, without hierarchy, organized in a flexible and "horizontal" way thanks to digital devices, and without any openness to possible negotiations or compromises with the authorities. In short, these movements seem to prefigure a crisis of democratic habits, in particular of the politics of composition that makes dialogue the essential principle of conflict resolution. This paper proposes to reflect on the dynamics of these social upheavals by paying particular attention to the sensitive experience that the actors have of them. The power of attraction of the overflowing of the usual political scenes would translate a clashing passion for the world whose more general political meaning should be questioned.
