Resumo: O objetivo deste artigo é realizar uma leitura do poema de João Cabral de Melo Neto, “O cão sem plumas”, utilizando-se de ferramentas teóricas provenientes da filosofia de Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari. O operador central da análise é o conceito de agenciamento e seus desdobramentos (desterritorialização, ritornelo etc.), ligado à noção de poema como máquina, postulada tanto pelo próprio Cabral quanto por alguns de seus principais comentadores. A consequência é a compreensão da poesia de Cabral como uma grande experimentação, que foge a qualquer tentativa de redução interpretativa, e o entendimento de que a linguagem poética pode exercer-se como pura literalidade, aproximando-se de um pensamento imanente irredutível a qualquer forma de transcendência.Palavras-chave: poesia; literalidade; agenciamento.Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to read the poem by João Cabral de Melo Neto, “O cão sem plumas”, using theoretical tools from the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. The central operator of the analysis is the concept of assemblage and its consequences (deterritorialization, ritornelo, etc.), linked to the notion of poem as a machine, postulated both by Cabral himself and by some of his main commentators. The consequence is the understanding of Cabral’s poetry as a great experimentation, which avoids any attempt at interpretative reduction, and the understanding that poetic language can be exercised as pure literality, approaching an immanent thought irreducible in any way of transcendence.Keywords: poetry; literality; assemblage.

Creative Production

In this article I investigate the necessarily interdisciplinary nature of our contemporaneity, from the perspective of works by Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Bruno Latour and Michel Serres. While we often find that academia, society and governments push us towards interdisciplinarity, it is also true that those same institutions and powers (and therefore the epistemological systems on which they are based), distance us from that purpose. Opposing this aporetic situation we come up against the Deleuzian concept of ‘contamination’, or the well-known ‘science of Venus’ concept of Michel Serres. In doing so, we attempt ‘to put the tracing back on the map’, as Deleuze and Guattari suggest, and try to see the epistemological becomings that we find in contemporary culture. The main indicators which we use to study these contaminations and hybridisations are cinema and Bio Art. In both cases we observe that the real creative production is closer to ‘contamination’ than to the ‘purification’ and deletion of metabolic and hybrid processes criticised by Bruno Latour.

Imminent Danger

Neo- and proto-fascisms have begun re-emerging in ultranationalist, authoritarian, and extremist consolidations of power across the globe. Even in the United States, where fascism was long dismissed as an historical or exclusively European problem, the popular emergence of rhetoric related to fascist ideology over the past decade has inspired widespread comparison and a new sense of the real, imminent danger that fascism poses. As Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari point out in Anti-Oedipus, fascism was not just a ‘bad moment’ or an ‘historical error’: fascism has yet to be overcome (AO 29–30). Why this is the case and what we might do about it are the frame for understanding Deleuze’s Kantian Ethos: Critique as a Way of Life. It begins with the argument that an account of the endurance of fascism would be better served by emphasising not how different ‘those people’ who support fascism are from ‘us’, who do not, but rather that at the basis of fascism’s allure for us all is the desire for our own repression. If such desire is constitutive of the productive cycle of desire itself, as Deleuze and Guattari suggest, any ethics that hopes to create spaces of freedom must have anti-fascism at its heart.

The Difference

Raymond Bellour explains the difference between Christian Metz’s semiological approach and his own approach to film analysis, and the degrees by which he became disenchanted with psychoanalysis, despite his debt to Lacan’s notion of the imaginary, the real, and the symbolic. With reference to his analysis of Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest, he proceeds to comment on how he evolved such key notions as “symbolic blockage” (“le blocage symbolique”) and “the undiscoverable text” (also referred to as “the unattainable text” or “le texte introuvable”). He then describes the influence of Anti-Oedipus by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, and his interest in American cinema and filmmakers like Alfred Hitchcock, Michael Curtiz, and Fritz Lang.

O Pequeno e o Grande Emílio: elementos para pensar a pedagogia e a produção de subjetividades

O problema que pretende responder este texto pode ser resumido ao questionamento acerca do processo que levou a pedagogia a se tornar uma peça indispensável de uma engenhosa estrutura de produção de subjetividades na era capitalista. Para tanto, esse problema ganha contornos a partir do esboço de um cenário dual, em que há de um lado, um Pequeno Emílio, originário da obra rousseauniana , desprendido do desejo de formulação de um padrão subjetivo, ainda que aspectos de um naturalismo liberal sejam pertinentes a ele; e, de outro, um Grande Emílio, produto de uma “pequena”, mas incessante e, talvez, pretensiosa resposta ao problema do governo de si e dos outros por meio dos usos de uma pedagogia científica e suas variações, encerrada na ideia de formação plena de um corpo social que reduz a multiplicidade aos níveis economicamente produtivos. Ao propor a abordagem em questão, este texto lança mão de uma análise ao estilo esquizo dos filósofos franceses Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari de textos importantes para a filosofia da educação e da própria pedagogia em função de encontrar suporte para os elementos de uma produção subjetiva em curso que passa pela pedagogia.

Physical Degradation

The reception of Circe's island in and through Classical Antiquity has largely focused on the enigmatic sorceress herself. The long literary chain of interpretive topoi—Circe the witch, the whore, the temptress—stretches from Apollonius, Virgil, Ovid, and Dio Chrysostom to Spenser, Calderón, Joyce, Margaret Atwood, and Madeline Miller. Her role as Odysseus’ benefactor, so unmistakable in Homer, is soon forgotten; to Virgil, she is above all dea saeva, (‘the savage goddess’, Aen. 7.19). One distinguishing feature of Circe and her reception is the focus on representation: the enchantment of Circe, as Greta Hawes puts it, is above all a study in allegory. From the moment Circe put a spell on Odysseus’ companions, transforming them into animals in Book 10 of the Odyssey, Circe has invited analogical reasoning, centered on what the transformation from one being into another represents. More often than not, this transformation is interpreted according to a dualist thinking about humans and animals: subjects are transformed from one being into another being, thus representing some moral or physical degradation. This article, by contrast, concentrates on Circe's island through the lens of becoming-animal, the concept developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in the tenth plateau of A Thousand Plateaus, ‘1730: Becoming-Intense, Becoming-Animal, Becoming-Imperceptible…’. I explicate the concept of becoming-animal by applying it to a Deleuzian encounter with Circe's island, both in its ancient articulations and in its various receptions, including H.G. Wells's science fiction novel The Island of Dr. Moreau.

Power Position

In this article, we seek to theorize the role of the kindergarten teacher as an agency mobiliser for sustainability through keeping the concept of the child in play, ultimately envisioning the child as a knowledgeable and connectable collective. This implies a non-dialectical politics of multiplicity ready to support and join a creative pluralism of educational organization and teacher roles for sustainability. Comprising friction zones between actual and virtual multiplicities that replace discursive productions of educational policies with enfoldedness, relations between bodies and becomings. This changes the power, position and function of language in and for agency and change. Not through making the child a constructivist change-agent through language but through opening up the possibilities for teachers to explore relations between language and matter, nature and culture and what might be produced collectively and individually. We go via the concepts of agencement expanding on the concept of agency, and conceptual personae directing the becoming of the kindergarten teacher. Both concepts informed by the transformational pragmatics of Gilles Deleuze (1925–1995) and Félix Guattari (1930–1992). The overarching contribution of this article is therefore political and pragmatic and concerns the constitution of subjectivity and transformative citizenships for sustainability in inter- and intra-generational perspectives.

Death Of God

Ecology defines territory as an area defended by an organism or a group of similar organisms with the purpose of pairing off, nesting, resting, and feeding. The defense of this space frequently brings about an aggressive behavior toward intruders and the marking of boundaries by means of repulsive chemical odors. Human beings, though they lack a precise ecological niche and are capable of adapting themselves to diverse spaces, also define territorial limits, from which emanate particular aromas that identify certain social groups. This is a question not of chemical perfumes but rather of codified cultural effusions that fill these groups with pride, even though they may, on occasion, strike others as repulsive. Many years ago, theories established that modern society impels a relentless process of deterritorialization and decodification, a process that tends to be ill regarded by ecologists, the populist left, fundamentalists, and conservatives. The proponents of this idea in the 1970s, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, stated in their renowned but forgotten book Anti-Oedipus (1972) that this process would end in the liberation of “desiring machines” and the dismantling of the oppressive state, in the same way that the death of God announced by Nietzsche was to be a liberating catastrophe. It is curious that these theories should end up hermetically codified and entombed beneath the seven seals of postmodernism and deconstruction, in the territory of an insufferable and unnecessary jargon.

Escutar o universo filosófico de Gilles Deleuze e sua parceria com Félix Guattari e registrar possibilidades da cartografia como método de pesquisa em educação são os objetivos centrais deste artigo. É no trabalho sobre as linhas, no qual estão em jogo as metamorfoses da vida, que a cartografia se faz. A cartografia assume-se implicada na criação e na invenção, ao pensar uma pesquisa das multiplicidades que faz gerar multiplicidades. Traçar linhas, mapear territórios, acompanhar movimentos de desterritorialização, promover rotas de escape são alguns dos procedimentos que este estudo pretende registrar como possibilidades de pesquisar em educação. Discutindo a produtividade dessa coreografia do desassossego, esboçamos quatro movimentos que denominamos: olhares-ciganos, noite de núpcias, pintar um quadro, linhas bailarinas.

Quando uma obra literária é lançada, a editora que o faz e, propriamente, o autor que a escreve esperam que ela ganhe os devidos louros da crítica e, consequentemente, alcance os méritos junto ao público leitor, mas isso só mesmo o tempo poderá dizer. Para aquelas que atingem o sucesso, as nomeamos de cânones ou clássicos. E a Commedia de Dante Alighieri é um exemplo. Desde sua escrita, no século XIV, até hoje, a obra dantesca inspirou diversos escritores mundo afora. O presente trabalho pretende elencar algumas obras, em poesia, prosa e também no cinema, que surgiram a partir do poema italiano. Importante deixar claro que não pretendemos aqui esgotar as obras, pois acredita-se que, ao longo de sete séculos, haja uma lista extremamente extensa de publicações que tiveram como ponto de partida a Commedia. Como referencial teórico para este artigo, utilizar-se-á, principalmente, a obra de Italo Calvino e a de Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari, com a teoria dos rizomas.
