The present paper discusses ‘institutional support’ as a device for fostering public health policies. In dialogue with the conceptual tools formulated by Deleuze, Guattari, Foucault and Spinoza, we distinguish extensive and intensive support, and argue that the latter is an ethical-political choice to support collective movements that produce instituting processes. To this end, we propose to meddle in the ways of living through the concept-tools of ‘interference’ and ‘life’. We seek to infuse the power of invention of collective devices into institutional support.
