Intermittence is a particular seismic zone between two tectonic plates of our values: culture and labor. Questions of employment practices, subjective relations to time, discontinuity of activity, and creative process, more than exchanges of opinions about high culture, are what have allowed the movement to persist, construct, and propose. The many additional human and circumstantial ingredients have finally brought forth, at least in our minds, the idea of a particular emergence of law and of common things. Though still fragile and relative, this emergent juncture leads us to a fresh questioning of the public debate via another process of work, elaboration, and creativity around the lived substance of things, and not only of their symbolic representations. A process which is the part-time worker’s daily condition, one which could unexpectedly lead to a transformation of politics.
