Affective spaces are constituted by emotional as wells as by epistemic relationships. La Dame aux Camélias by Alexandre Dumas, and its opera version, La Traviata, show how the play between knowledge and ignorance with respect to other, particularly to the feminine character, is central in the formation of subjects. Despite the cultural distance, the specific case of this narrative typifies properly the way in which identities are built on systemic ignorances.
