ABSTRACTThe story “Meu tio, o Iauretê” (1962 ), from Guimarães Rosa, discusses the boundary between man and animal, through intensive writing, which seeks to unveil the animal in man. Thus, thinking animalism in Guimarães Rosa, means thinking what the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze would call “Becoming – Animal” which concept is present in a text from 1730 - Becoming - Intense, Becoming - Animal, Becoming – imperceptible…, and would be an order of combination of a man with an animal, none of which would be similar or even copy each other, in other words, it would not be a matter of metamorphosis, but becomings, crossings and short circuit between kingdoms. In this sense, the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida and Georges Bataille serve as a basic scope to reflect on the question of self and other, man and animal, identity and difference. The questioning of this issue, through literature, aims to demonstrate how to give, in literary narrative, language, questioning of anthropocentrism, in the words of Derrida’s “own man”, which would result in the subsumption on power of life, pure, immanent.RESUMOO conto “Meu tio, o Iauretê” (1962), de Guimarães Rosa, problematiza a fronteira entre o homem e o animal, através de uma escrita intensiva, que busca desvelar o animal no humano. Dessa forma, pensar a animalidade em Guima-rães Rosa, significa pensar aquilo que o filósofo francês Gilles Deleuze denominaria “Devir-animal”, conceito presente no texto 1730-Devir- intenso, Devir-animal, Devir-imperceptível..., e que seria da ordem de uma conjugação de um homem com um animal, sendo que nenhum deles se assemelharia ou até mesmo imitaria o outro, ou seja, não seria uma questão de metamorfose, mas de devires, atravessamentos e curto-circuito entre reinos. Nesse sentido, a filosofia de Gilles Deleuze, Jaques Derrida e Georges Bataille servirão como escopo básico para que se reflita sobre a questão do eu e do outro, do homem e do animal, da identidade e da diferença. A problematização dessa questão, através da literatura, visa demonstrar como se dá, na narrativa literária, na linguagem, o questionamento do antropocentrismo, nas palavras de Derrida os “próprios do homem”, o que acarretaria na subsunção da potência da vida, pura, imanente.

Los textos que conforman este dosier se condensan en un primado de pensar el trabajo filosófico de Georges Didi-Huberman y la relevancia que tienen algunos pensadores en su obra. Lo que se pone en juego es la escritura como un elemento común que busca materializar la forma en que autores como Aby Warburg, Walter Benjamin, Georges Bataille, Gilles Deleuze y Jacques Derrida, entre otros, impactan en el obrar del pensamiento en Didi-Huberman.

Readers of Giorgio Agamben would agree that the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) is not one of his primary interlocutors. As such, Agamben’s engagement with Nietzsche is different from the French reception of Nietzsche’s philosophy in Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze and Georges Bataille, as well as in his contemporary Italian colleague Roberto Esposito, for whom Nietzsche’s philosophy is a key point of reference in their thinking of politics beyond sovereignty. Agamben’s stance towards the thought of Nietzsche may seem ambiguous to some readers, in particular with regard to his shifting position on Nietzsche’s much-debated vision of the eternal recurrence of the same.

resumo: Este artigo é uma introdução geral ao pensamento de Bernard Stiegler em torno da relação entre técnica e humano. Stiegler desconstroi a tradição filosófica que costumava separar technê e episteme com um enfoque histórico e materialista, a fim de provar como é impossível pensar a humanidade sem a técnica. Portanto, a relação não é de oposição, como a tradicional metafísica do espírito defende, mas composição, do modo como defendem Gilbert Simondon, Jacques Derrida, Andre Leroi-Gourhan e Gilles Deleuze.abstract: This paper is a general introduction to Bernard Stiegler's thinking about the relation between technique and human. Stiegler deconstructs the philosophical tradition that used to separate teckhnê and episteme with a historical and materialist approach in order to prove how it is impossible to think humanity without technique. Therefore, the relation is not one of opposition, like the traditional metaphysics of spirit defends, but one of composition, as thinkers like Gilbert Simondon, Jacques Derrida, Andre Leroi-Gourhan and Gilles Deleuze defend.

Este trabalho quer investigar os fatores que possibilitam a recorrente presença dos segmentos socialmente marginalizados na produção de documentários brasileiros após 1993 ou da “retomada”. Nosso enfoque concentra-se nos documentários que apresentam como personagens pessoas ou grupos diretamente vinculados ao contexto de violência urbana. Partimos do pressuposto que a visibilidade conquistada por esses setores relaciona-se, de uma forma ou de outra, às demarcações da “diferença” e às estruturas de poder. Para tanto, tomaremos como referência a leitura do conceito de différance, de Jacques Derrida, empreendida por Stuart Hall e os estudos sobre formações e estruturas de poder realizados por Michel Foucault e Gilles Deleuze

‘Michel Foucault and governmentality’ talks about Michel Foucault, who is often associated with the poststructuralist and postmodernist ideas of Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, and Jean-François Lyotard. Lyotard’s famous La condition postmoderne in 1979 gave common currency to the term postmodern. Texts that contributed to mental climates in diverse ways are being adapted to the passage of time and alteration of circumstance. Derrida’s 'arche-writing' is an innovative approach to the study of texts. Derrida claimed that the author’s intentions are constrained by language and logic that relied upon the expression of ideas, as the text could go beyond the limits imagined by the author.

Phenomenology played a central role in twentieth-century philosophy. But, from the second half of the century, many alternative philosophical movements emerged. Despite their radical criticism of phenomenology, they regularly touched upon themes that had been originally propounded by phenomenology itself. This is true of Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, and Gilles Deleuze. At the basis of their approaches, there is the need for a new version of the transcendental, the idea of an impure transcendental, and the intuition of a non-transcendental structure of the transcendental, which they all name “difference.” Phenomenology could draw useful insights from these perspectives: e.g., a more continuous view of the range of psychopathological experiences; a more exact comprehension of the different temporal and spatial structures of psychopathological worlds, as the internal possibilities and infinitesimal variations of the transcendental; and a more critical way of thinking through the structure of institutions and the normativity that dominates them.

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2176-8552.2016n20p25Levando em conta o que aqui se chama “crise da religiosidade”, este ensaio se propõe a discutir, em contraposição crítica que a leitura do texto tende a tornar evidente, as respostas a essa crise oferecidas por Georges Bataille (“experiência interior”, “experiência do sagrado”) e Giorgio Agamben (“altíssima pobreza”). O que motiva a contraposição é o juízo de Agamben a respeito de Bataille, antes já enunciado por Sartre: o de que Bataille é um místico.  Para colocar em prática essa operação, este ensaio recorre às contribuições de Jean-Luc Nancy (existência “insacrificável”), Jacques Derrida (o discurso político como fábula e a crítica feroz a Agamben em “A besta e o soberano”) e Vilém Flusser, base teórica que atravessa todo ensaio e que, com o conceito de “instrumento”, mas também a partir de outras elaborações teóricas, permite questionar a ideia de um mundo a ser “profanado”.

Gilles Deleuze is a French philosopher known for his ontological thinking. In the field of organization studies, Deleuze is associated with postmodernism and post-structuralism along with fellow thinkers such as Jacques Derrida. This chapter examines Deleuze’s philosophical views and considers how processual thinking has emerged as an important area of research within organization and management studies. It first looks at Deleuze’s understanding of metaphysics and the creation of concepts, along with the connection between process organization studies and the creation of concepts. It then discusses the process ontology that exists within process organization studies in the context of process thinking. It also describes the new spirit of capitalism and its implications for contemporary management thought and highlights some individual cases in which a certain, perhaps Deleuzian, philosophy of organization is developed. The chapter concludes by arguing that the deployment of Deleuze’s philosophy in process organization studies should be more normative and pragmatic.

The current article presents a discussion of two characters in Terry Pratchett’s Witches Abroad (1990), Esmeralda and Lily Weatherwax. These two sisters are almost mirror images of each other, yet each takes a different path in life. Through their similarities and differences, one is able to examine the idea of uncanny repetition, as it was discussed by Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze. Through the characters’ choices and interaction with each other, one may also be able to explore their identities, as imperfect mirror reflections that contradict and inform each other.
