Summary:The essay reflects on concepts that have traditionally been understood as a borderline between aesthetics and psychoanalysis: the notion of disgust and that of nausea. Nausea is a psycho-physiological signal that makes us feel our co-existence with a huge number of human and non-human entities. It is for this reason that it should not be confused with the feeling of disgust.

It is an ecological feeling.
