SUMMARY:

The thesis investigates the political life of monsters from a set of appearances of monstrous subjects in visual culture and contemporary fiction. The research thinks of the monster as a way of life that resists the normative
effects of encoding and recognition of subjects.The monster appears in the corpus as a type of dissident personality, which relates to the world from other points of reference, intentionality and self-interpretation.The thesis elaborates the hypothesis that the monster proposes ways of life, configurations of subjectivity and subjectivation, and passes by experiences of sociability and community. In short, the monster proposes ways of life and the world from its own perspective.The aim of this thesis is to investigate this perspective and understand what political configuration is possible for monstrous subjects. The argument developed takes the monster as a type of personality capable of imagining other ways of perceiving and inhabiting the world than those engendered by an anthropocentric vision. The monster produces unintelligible forms of the common and subject, and yet capable of proposing a policy and other ways of dealing with alterity. The argument's
formula can be refined by asking how monstrous personalities imagine and inhabit communities.
