Summary/Abstract: This contribution offers a theoretical reflection on the notion of interdiscourse (shown and manifest) and its relevance in (literary) discourse analysis before analysing a work whose political and literary project is largely based on the inter-discourse: "The Coming Insurrection", by «Invisible Commitee». The notion of interdiscourse in our corpus will allow us to assess the extent of an uncompromising critique of the economy and more broadly of the capitalist system: individualism, homogenization, evidence. We can then consider the subversion induced by interdiscourse, which consists precisely in assuming the need to make common, to include otherness, to pluralize discourses but also practices, and finally to undo the common discourse (economic and political) of its alleged obviousness.
