Resumen:
We speak of impasse to characterise the contemporary political situation.
An image that is slippery and difficult to theorise, but very present in the diverse situations that we encounter. This concept that we are trying to construct requires a perceptive practice is able to take us beyond the representations used by the language of politics, essay writing, philosophy or social sciences. It also requires a sensitivity able to pull us towards that suspended time, in which each act vacillates, and where nevertheless everything that requires to be thought again is taking place.
The notion of impasse aspires to name a reality whose signs are not evident and it proposes itself as key of intelligibility of the atmosphere in which we are living.
