Initiating from a crucial concept of recognition (German: Anerkennung) formulated 200 years ago by Hegel, the author explores the complexity of the concept of subject, initiated by the references of Freud and Heidegger; structuralism; poststructuralisms; and new, more complex perspectives such as the one presented by Peter Sloterdijk. Based on an intense exploration of the topic (psychoanalysis, journals, references from various points of view), the author ties the reflection on the subject with the figure of Telemaco as an archetype of the promise of reconciling the village with the world, patriarchal with matriarchal myths beyond the empires, and the personal and collective efforts in pursuit of “homing” as a room with a sense of justice in the world house.
