I will work on the differences and convergences I find among these authors, simultaneously,  in relation to the concept of political subject through a brief development of their respective theoretical systems and in relation to three key topics: (1) the ontology of the real, (2) partial representation, and (3) the temporal retroactiviy of subjectification. In addition, I will point to the intellectual’s position of enunciation and the possibility of substracting herself to a prescriptive logic by means of the Lacanian "not-All" and, implicitly, the Borromean knot of the three registers of experience: R, S and I.
