Abstract

Strange, very strange, that pigs are sovereigns, although it is frequent throughout history to meet pigs sovereigns. At the entrance, invited to remove and deconstruct all prejudice imputed by society to sad pigs as animals that live and eat their excrement and wallow in the mud. They wallow and eat their excrement only because they are trapped in their pigsties, because they have been domesticated; otherwise, freedmen would be roaming the woods outside gathering roots, truffles, and wallowing in mud to protect their skins. At a wolf's pace, as proposed by Derrida in his seminar The Beast and the Sovereign I, we will discover in this fable that taming sovereigns slumber under their pig's skin.
