The Will to Disappear: Notes Toward an Ethics of Vanishing

By Antônio Carlos

The Will to disappear is not always about death. Often, it is simply the exhaustion of being too seen, too interpreted, too demanded. This book is born from the need to pause - not by offering answers, but by cultivating the kind of questions that listen.

The Desire to Disappear is not about ending, but about intervals. About silence as lucidity. Withdrawal as care. It explores the symbolic gesture of disappearance, the refusal of exposure, the collapse of the performative self, and the longing to stop functioning without guilt.

Weaving together themes of invisibility, silence, exhaustion, and non-performance, this is a philosophical meditation on resistance - existential, emotional, and ethical. A book to be read slowly, as a quiet conversation between what fades and what remains.
