O pensamento eurocentrado, com possui base dualista da balança e dois pesos, na lógica aristotélica e na Geometria Euclidiana e Cartesiana, foi fortemente criticado por intelectuais influenciados pelas Filosofias não-eurocentradas. Contudo, as influências de Filosofias Indígenas presentes no Pragmatismo e na Filosofia do Processo que influenciaram Felix Guattari e Gilles Deleuze, estes influenciados por Pierre Clastres que etnografou sociedades Indígenas contra o Estado centralizador tão caro à Europa. Tais críticas produziram Isabelle Stengers, Bruno Latour, Tim Ingold que trazem novas perspectivas à Antropologia e Sociologia, bem como Milton Santos que trouxe uma Geografia nova. Estes movimentos nos auxiliaram a delinear a proposta de Apensamento, como organizador da multiplicidade composta por seres com diversidade multiescalar e fractal, comum nas Filosofias Indígenas, que podemos utilizar como ferramenta na decolonização do pensar eurocentrado.

Key Terms

To assume that all things we want to describe – humans and non-humans alike – can be done so properly only in terms of 'societies', requires a contrast – a momentum of cosmopolitics – to the very abstract distinctions upon which our classical understanding of sociology and its key terms rests: 'The social' as defined in opposition to 'the non-social', 'society' in opposition to 'nature'. The concept of cosmopolitics tries to avoid such modernist strategy that A. N. Whitehead called 'bifurcation of nature' (cf. Whitehead 1978, 2000). The inventive production of contrasts names a cosmopolitical tool which does not attempt to denounce, debunk, replace or overcome abstract, exclusivist oppositions that suggest divisions as 'either…or'-relations. Rather, as the Belgian philosopher of science Isabelle Stengers stresses, 'the contrast will have to be celebrated in the manner of a new existent, adding a new dimension to the cosmos' (Stengers 2011: 513). Cosmopolitics, then, engages with 'habits we experiment with in order to become capable of new experiences' (Stengers 2001: 241) and opens up the possibility of agency of the non-expected Other, the non-normal, the non-human, the non-social, the un-common. 'The Other is the existence of a possible world', as Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari (1994: 17-18) have put it. It is 'the condition for our passing from one world to another. The Other (...) makes the world go by.'

Meu título é deliberadamente provocativo porque nem todos os Teóricos Sociais acham que isso importa. Algumas das abordagens teóricas atualmente em voga insistem veementemente que não. Estas são geralmente associadas aos nomes de Bruno Latour, Gilles Deleuze e Felix Guattari. Seus denominadores comuns são a rejeição do antropocentrismo, a substituição do 'agente' humano pelo 'actante', a recusa em distinguir o objeto do sujeito e uma rejeição de uma ontologia estratificada em favor de uma ontologia plana. Como tal, essa visão poderia ser resumida como um Manifesto pelo ‘Poder das Coisas’, significando a 'capacidade de coisas inanimadas para animar, agir, produzir efeitos' (Bennett, 2010: 6). A coisa que manifesta o poder - o actante - é algo que age ou a qual atividade é concedida por outros. Não implica uma motivação especial dos atores individuais humanos, nem dos humanos em geral” (Latour, 1996). Em vez disso, são ‘intervenientes’ ou ‘operadores’; para Deleuze e Guattari, termos estéreis deliberadamente distanciados da ‘humanidade’. Embora uma massa de literatura (ver, por exemplo, Braidotti, 2013; Hailes, 1999; Haraway, 1991; Wolfe, 2010) se seguiu (incluindo a tentativa de Bennett para reabilitar o Vitalismo), não direi mais nada sobre isso, porque os anti-humanistas deliberadamente anularam a importância dos problemas especificados no meu título.

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.

Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, and Isabelle Stengers fought against a state-controlled form of science and saw “nomadic science/concepts” as a way to escape from it. The transnational history of the term milieu marks a good opportunity to contribute to another theory of nomadic vocabularies. Traveling from France to Germany, the word milieu came to be identified as a French theory. Milieu was seen as an expression of determinism, of the connection between the rise of the natural sciences and the rise of socialism, and it deterred the majority of German academics. Umwelt was thus coined as an “antimilieu” expression. This article defends a “transnational historical semantic” against the Koselleckian history of concepts and its a priori distinctions between words and concepts. Instead of taking its nature for granted, a transnational historical semantic investigation should analyze the terminological and national status given to the objects of investigation by the term's users.

Ecological Thinking

In ecological thinking, the term care is of shifting valence. In philosophical and literary history, care is inflected as worrisome, burdensome, while, at the same time, uplifting and given to life. It has functional virtue in material practices based on what can be called an empathic relation. In recent critical texts addressing ecological dilemmas, care emerges as a diagram—an intermediate form—between possibility and event. Both palliative and favoring what is possible, care is inflected multifariously and with uncommon force of attraction in the materialist philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari that inspires the work of Jane Bennett, Rosi Braidotti, Brian Massumi, Isabelle Stengers, Mark Hansen, and Jussi Parikka. In each, the care of the possible is based on experimentation and embrace of open-ended practice: collaboration rather than individual profit; posthumanism that recognizes universal entanglements; attention to the role technology plays in all spheres of inquiry; and, increasingly, sensors that produce a surplus of sensibility. This article argues that open-endedness, or possibility, has to be coupled with a palliative care brought to dwindling material resources.

As críticas ao sujeito da interioridade e às filosofias da consciência, que reputam a um indivíduo unificado e coerente a fonte de ação, têm atribuído a uma outra grande agência unificada a origem de toda ação. A linguagem, os discursos, a sociedade, a cultura, a história substituem o lugar do sujeito como agência. No entanto, continuam sendo instâncias purificadas às quais atribui-se o privilégio da ação. Abandona-se o sujeito, mas há uma continuidade idealista na qual a agência só pode estar no campo dos humanos-entre-eles. É contra essa atribuição da agência apenas aos humanos-entre-eles que está estruturado este texto, defendendo os híbridos, os coletivos sócio-técnicos e as máquinas. Este trabalho irá explorar conceitos de Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Bruno Latour e Pierre Lévy, articulando-os para a abordagem de uma concepção de subjetivação que escape da agência reputada unicamente aos humanos-entre-eles.

This article discusses how materialist philosopher Manuel Delanda’s “assemblage theory” could be of use for art studies. I begin by situating what I term art studies in relation to art history and comment on the differences. After a selective presentation of Delanda’s social ontology on assemblages, in turn following A Thousand Plateaus by Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari, I relate his theory to the concept of assemblage, its origin in the eighteenth century as well as its references as an art term from the 1950s. Theoretical assistance from Martin Heidegger and Bruno Latour allows me to specify how the notion of assemblage could be used in connection with art studies focused neither on Art nor History but on artworks, as the first assemblage, followed by other assemblages, connecting with other works, agents and institutions, i.e. social phenomena literally assembled or com-posed. I present five types of assemblages of relevance to art studies as a different way of doing history, as something ongoing and openly unfolding (assisted and assembled by us), thus theoretically immune to being “history” in the sense of over.

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.
