The aim of this article is to analyze friendship as a political and subjective force capable of resisting contemporary politics of enmity, based on Michel Foucault’s reflections in The hermeneutics of the subject and Achille Mbembe’s diagnoses of neoliberal violence. The interpretative hypothesis explores how friendship, understood as a «proof of life» in the Foucauldian sense, can counter the neoliberal logic that fragments human relationships, transforming them into policies of exclusion, hatred and subjectivities captured by identitarianism and enmity. Finally, friendship emerges as a radical political act, capable of reinventing ways of living together and confronting neoliberalism’s «wars of subjectivity», reaffirming life as a shared experience and not as a battlefield.
