AB “Those poems by Giordano Bruno are a gift for which I am grateful withall my heart.” In this way, Nietzsche expressed his enthusiasm for the writings ofGiordano Bruno (1548–1600). It is not difficult to discern the reasons why thosepoems turned out to be so stimulating for Nietzsche since, long before the ideas ofindividualistic self-sufficiency managed to impose themselves, Bruno characterizedthe human and more-than-human condition as a play of affective contagions. In thisessay, I will explore some of those mimetic links. To do this, we will focus on hisgeneral theory of bonds (De vinculis in genere), and we will put it in relation to hisItalian poems (especially De gli eroici furori). Thinking about these links, which arenothing but vital forces that operate below, through, and beyond human, will leadus to reflect on the relevance that these non-modern conceptions could have today.
