ResumoO ensaio pretende tecer linhas reflexivas acerca o corpo através de um exercício de criação imagética de corpos (im)possíveis costurados sobre a superfície do livro didático de ciências. A produção das imagens costuradas parte da seguinte questão: é possível criar um corpo para além do discurso biológico no livro didático? Tomamos como aliança conceitual a filosofia da diferença de Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari, na construção do mote argumentativo: é possível pensar e produzir um corpo para si que percorra outras linhas, aquelas que se chamam molares, moleculares e linhas de fuga. Um corpo atravessado pelo desejo, sendo este a instância produtiva que o rasga, desfazendo formas e costurando outras composições e arranjos. AbstractThe essay intends to weave reflective lines about the body through an imaging exercise of possible (im) bodies sewn onto the surface of the science textbook. The production of the stitched images starts from the following question: is it possible to create a body beyond the biological discourse in the textbook? We take as a conceptual alliance the philosophy of difference between Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, in the construction of the argumentative motto: it is possible to think and produce a body for itself that runs along other lines, those that are called molars, molecular and lines of escape. A body crossed by desire, this being the productive instance that rips it, undoing forms and sewing other compositions and arrangements.

The articles in this first installment of a series on choreography that considers the relationship between philosophy and dance interrogate conceptions of the body, movement, and language. Translated for the first time into English, the selection by José Gil reads the dancing body as paradoxical through the writings of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari; and the chapter by Peter Sloterdijk examines modernity's impulse toward movement and posits a critical theory of mobilization. An interview with choreographer Hooman Sharifi accompanies a meditation on his recent performance.

O trabalho apresenta uma leitura da obra A Fúria do corpo, de João Gilberto Noll, a partir dos conceitos de Corpo sem Órgãos e Rizoma propostos pelos filósofos franceses Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari. Nesse sentido, objetiva estudar a construção identitária das personagens da referida narrativa, estabelecendo uma associação com essas noções filosóficas, problematizando, sobretudo, a errância das personagens e a linguagem utilizada para a composição da obra. Ao longo da leitura crítica, destacaremos como o texto de Noll nos desafia à construção de sentidos através de uma subjetividade constituída a partir de linhas de fuga, ideia discutida pelos filósofos supracitados. Ao adentrarmos no texto ficcional pelo viés de tais linhas, é possível entender como as personagens percebem e vivem suas experimentações rizomáticas. Desse modo, não se pretende aqui atribuir sentidos fechados à narrativa, mas sugerir que o Corpo sem Órgãos e o Rizoma são características que representam as experiências errantes das personagens encontradas na escrita de Noll. Palavras-chave: Literatura Brasileira Contemporânea. João Gilberto Noll. Identidade. Corpo sem Órgãos. Rizoma. THE RHIZOME AND THE IDEA OF BODY WITHOUT ORGANS IN THE FURY OF THE BODY, BY JOÃO GILBERTO NOLL Abstract: This paper presents a reading of The Fury of the Body, by João Gilberto Noll, based on the concepts of Body without Organs and Rhizome proposed by French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. It aims to study the characters’ identity construction, establishing an association with these philosophical notions, exploring, especially, the characters’ wandering nature and the language used in the composition of the work. Throughout this critical reading, emphasis will be given on the way Noll’s text challenge us to construct directions through a subjectivity built from escape lines, a concept defined by Deleuze and Guattari. By reading the narrative through these lenses, it is possible to understand how the characters perceive and live their rhizomatic trials. Thus, the intention here is not to attribute closed meanings to the narrative, but to suggest that the Body without Organs and the Rhizome are features that represent the characters’ wandering experiences in The Fury of the Body. Keywords: Contemporary Brazilian Literature. João Gilberto Noll. Identity. Body without Organs. Rhizome.

Judith Butler argues that every category of personal identity, such as gender, the body, nationality, sexuality, or ethnicity, is predicated in part on a crisis between what that identity affirms and what it excludes. How this crisis manifests itself in everyday life is key to understanding how identities are reinforced, negotiated, subverted, or rejected on both social and individual levels. In this paper I consider three films directed by Kurosawa Kiyoshi between 2001 and 2006, arguing that they are especially competent in not only representing ontological tensions of this kind within their narratives, but also in manifesting these tensions so that they are made viscerally available to the viewer as affect. To understand how this is achieved, I draw on the work of Susan Sontag, Judith Butler, and Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, among others, to articulate how a stylistic system, or aesthetic, is developed across these films, and what techniques contribute to its production. I find that key components of this aesthetic include images of touch and performance, the transgression of bodily boundaries, and what Margrit Shildrick calls an “erotics of connection” between bodies.

Straipsnyje analizuojama Jeano Luco Nancy knygoje Corpus suformuluota kūno samprata, nurodoma jos priklausomybė nuo fenomenologinės Emmanuelio Levino ir Maurice’o Merleau-Ponty tradicijos. Straipsnyje taip pat siekiama atskleisti Nancy kūno sampratos radikalumą, jos artimumą tiek Jacques’o Derrida įteisintoms rašymo, paskirstymo erdvėje temoms, tiek Gilles’o Deleuze’o ir Felixo Guattari sukurtai materialistinei kūno koncepcijai. Nancy kūną siekia išlaisvinti nuo reikšmės ir bet kokio organizavimo principo. Tačiau norėdamas paaiškinti, kaip kūnai egzistuoja, jis priverstas išrasti naujas sąvokas: išstatymas, kūnų paskirstymas erdvėje, areališkumas, technē, kūrimas be kūrėjo. Būtent pastaroji sąvoka leidžia Nancy projektą vadinti „krikščionybės dekonstrukcija“; kita vertus, ši sąvoka savotiškai kompromituoja Nancy teorijos radikalumą, atskleisdama bet kurios kūno filosofijos priklausomybę nuo krikščioniškosios tradicijos. Pagrindiniai žodžiai: fenomenologinis suvokimas, prisilietimas, kūnas, technē, krikščionybės dekonstrukcija.Body and Signification in J.-L. Nancy’s CorpusAudronė Žukauskaitė SummaryThe author explores the notion of the body in Jean-Luc Nancy’s Corpus. On the one hand, she shows how Nancy’s project still depends on the phenomenological tradition of Emmanuel Levinas and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. On the other hand, she seeks to demonstrate the radical character of this notion and its similarity to Jacques Derrida’s concept of writing and spacing as well as to the materialistic concept of the body elaborated by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. This similarity is based on the assumption that the body could be thought of and described as beyond any meaningful principle of organization. In order to explain how such bodies exist, Nancy is forced to invent new concepts such as spacing out, expeausition, areality, technē, creation without creator. It is exactly the latter concept that enables Derrida to describe Nancy’s project as “deconstruction of Christianity”. This concept also indicates a compromise in Nancy’s radical thinking, revealing that any “philosophy of the body” in Western thought still belongs to the tradition of Christianity.Keywords: phenomenological perception, touching, the body, technē, deconstruction of Christianity.;">

ResumoInspirado na filosofia de Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari, o texto tem como objetivo problematizar um entre art(e)ciência a partir de mobilizações de um biólogo-artista com experimentações performáticas do corpo na e com a floresta, aglutinados pelas seguintes questões: como a arte e a biologia se cruzam com/na floresta? Que vazamentos escorrem desse entre art(e)ciência? As materialidades imagéticas da pesquisa foram produzidas na caverna/cachoeira do km 30, localizada no Ramal Novo Xingu, a 30 km da cidade de Altamira-PA e, também, na caverna da Planaltina, 3 km da cidade de Brasil Novo-PA. Finalmente, serão apresentadas produções estéticas do biólogo e seus encontros que utilizaram dos elementos encontrados naqueles locais como força inspiradora para fazer acontecer outros modos sentir a vida no entre biologia e arte, possibilitando biólogos, artistas, professores, alunos e pesquisadores outros encontros vitais.AbstractInspired by Giles Deleuze and Féliz Guattari's philosophy, the text aims to problematize a between Art and Science by the starting point of a Biologist-artist's mobilizations with performatic experiments of the body in and with the forest, agglutinated by the following questions: how does Art and Science cross with/in the forest? What leaks drip from this between art and Biology? The visual material of this research were produced in the cave/waterfall of Km 30, placed in Ramal Novo Xingu, 30 km away from the city of Altamira-PA and also in the Planaltina's cave, 3 km away from the city of Brasil Novo-PA. Finally, aesthetic productions of the Biologist and his encounters will be presented, which use elements found in such places as an inspiring force to make other ways of feeling life in the between of Biology and Art happen, making possible for Biologists, artists, teachers, students and researchers and other vital encounters.

Fairy tales permeate the world with a magical charm, but time has brought changes in fairy tale narration, mode, context and interpretations. Under the post structural lens, the undertaken research investigates the transformations that occur at molecular level, beyond the physical and molar corporeality among selected characters in the fairy tale, The wishing spell (2013). The focus is not the examination of changes in physical anatomic structure or form of the selected characters, rather the exploration of body’s capability and potentials of undergoing phenomenological transformations through the lens of becoming molecular by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari (1987). Becoming molecular promotes the idea that instead of comprehending the whole form of an issue, a fragment or molecule needs to be comprehended as it makes it easy to understand the entire form of problem. Becoming molecular is an internal or mind attachment of the body to another entity and the attachment or link is beyond the physical form of corporal state of being. The undertaken research endeavors to map multiple occurrences of becoming molecular in the characters of Snow White and the Evil Queen, by following the thematic model of textual analysis by Miles and Huberman (2014). The findings reveal that becoming molecular is an endless process that emerges in unlimited molecular links amid two different bodies. These links illuminate profound insights by influencing thoughts and bringing changes in actions and behavior. The changes cannot be perceived through senses as in the physical world. These links do not disrupt the physical appearance of either body, rather bring changes at molecular level.

William Forsythe has remarked that the forms of ballet exist as a body of ideas. Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari write in A Thousand Plateaus that the body without organs is not an enemy organism but rather is another organization of the organs. The paper goes on to discuss isometry, transfer of energy, and anatomical migration and the concept of migration as a metaphor in the context of various historical discourses about the body.
