This article seeks to establish a productive dialogue between the major notions of post-foundational political thought -as conceived by Jean Luc-Nancy, Alain Badiou, Claude Lefort, and Ernesto Laclau- and what I have termed “dialectical vitalism” in the works of Brazilian philosopher Vladimir Safatle. It seeks to consider Safatle’s work in O circuito dos afetos (2016) and A paixão do negativo (2006) as enabling the inscription of the major postfoundational axiom -the absence of an ultimate foundation- on a subject’s psycho-affective constitution. Through this operation, an emancipatory postfoundational biopolitics could arise, facilitating the emergence of new bodies, new forms of subjectification.

Keywords : Post-foundational political thought; Biopolitics; Dialectical vitalism; Psychoanalysis; The moment of the political.
