“There is no co-working without a community.” What is separating the we of the third spaces from the we of the start-up (more or less nationalized)? Is it possible to distinguish the off-ramps (of the dilated, of the diffracted, of the bifurcating we) from the highway (of the I of personal development, but also of this other we of team building and we designs)? The auto-affection of the pluralized self is an attempt, by a substitution of pronouns, to hide a not-so-secret intention to connect everybody to everybody. Investigating the reflections of these globalized “beautiful souls” in their aesthetic variations, this paper intends to think the reactualizations of world-integrated psychic standardization, in showing how they blur the we they refer themselves to. The starting point is a series of quotes from stars of the republic of letters. And it immediately shifts to forms of enunciatory deterritorializations, ways of coursing through a we attached to its own scalar uncertainty and excited by its own anachronisms: an original experience of the other as self, an alter-constructivist workshop, a self-decentering meditation, an anti-facilitating reunion, a counterpoint to the now.
