Summary/Abstract: The article compares the doctrine of events and the “hysteria” of politicized art, which attempts to circumvent the miracle of creation, blurring the boundaries between what is political and what the aesthetic. This link permanently subordinated art to politics, leading art to function in subservience to the demands of politics. Yet, politics should also learn from art, especially since twentieth-century politics was the least innovative in terms of creating a vision of reality. It is therefore worth moving back towards prepolitical work on the subject of truth, looking at ways in which art can make sense of the non-places from which emerges all creativity.
