Its lack of clear boundaries has inclined us to name it “scattered subject”, meaning a labile identity that can adopt different forms, whose extension is never fully known, but that is, in spite of everything, capable of cohesion.

Concurrently, we seek to find an explanation for the ties that hold together a matter in dispersion.
