Summary:At the moment when the French thinker is concerned with the practices of the self, produced in the context of classical Greece and in Greek-Roman Hellenism, an understanding of subjectivity will emerge which, when referenced in the idea of Greek exemplarity, has no a-priori reference for its production, but takes place in the permanent practice of itself, based on the relationship with the Other5 and with things, based on the ethical commitment to the word and the life we live. According to Jay (2009), these theoretical constructions would be guided by two major premises, situated as vectors of production of meaning around the category: on the one hand, the relationship between experience and language; on the other hand, the relationship between experience, subjectivity and eventalization or contingency. [...]in this position, the word does not contain a substance in itself, regardless of its use, but is ontologically conditioned by the way it is produced in different historical contexts, a condition that will make it possible - or not - to experience (something). In this perspective, the experience could only be anchored in the subjective movement that did not contain a set of a priori techniques or modes of action and that could enable its emergence. [...]only the individual or a group could operate something in the order of the radically contingent; this situation seems best illustrated in artistic creation, which does not contain rules to be followed, but rather elaborated in the artistic production process itself.
