Cette étude de la pensée de Gilles Deleuze (1925-1975) trouve son origine dans la confrontation avec un texte et un concept qui nous semblent des objets féconds de réflexion. Le pli. Leibniz et le baroque (1988) est la dernière des grandes monographies que Deleuze consacre aux « intercesseurs » de sa pensée. Elle constitue une relecture compliquée et labyrinthique à la fois de l’œuvre de Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz (1646-1716) et de la période baroque. Plus qu’une interprétation, elle est le théâtre où apparaît un nouveau concept destiné à jeter, comme dans un après-coup, une lumière inédite sur l’œuvre entière de Deleuze : le pli. Ce dernier, loin de représenter un escamotage interprétatif, traverse sa pensée dans toute sa durée, tout en émergeant seulement vers la fin des années 80, dans la phase finale de son itinéraire intellectuel, comme le fait une vague parcourant sous le niveau de l’eau tout l’océan pour s’élever juste en proximité du littoral. Le pli paraît dans Différence et répétition (1968) et réapparaît dans Foucault (1986) ; mais il est réellement thématisé et développé avec référence à Leibniz, le penseur qui a plus que quiconque déçu et exalté Deleuze. Notre but est de démontrer comment le pli est ce concept en mesure d’exprimer le projet philosophique deleuzien dans son intégralité. En d’autres termes, le pli est le concept de Deleuze. Dans sa formulation nous pouvons retrouver tous les problèmes majeurs de sa pensée : la relation entre différence et répétition, le statut du sujet et de l’objet, la construction du plan d’immanence, la définition de l’art, de la science et de la philosophie et leur interaction. / The subject of my thesis is the concept of “fold” in the work of Gilles Deleuze, as it emerges in the late 80’s. My purpose is to show that the concept of fold can summarise the entirety of Deleuze’s philosophical project. As a matter of fact, its formulation allows to address all of the most important questions of his thought, and to adopt a different approach on the discussion and the solution of some philosophical problems, such as the theme of the subject and Deleuze’s conception of philosophy as a “creation of concepts”. By doing that, I try to follow and underline the several implicit references and the hidden theoretical pattern which compose the text of The Fold. Leibniz and the Baroque (1988). My work is composed of five chapters. The first one has an introductive character and consists of a reflexion on Deleuze’s philosophical reading method, which we define as “anamorphic”. The second chapter focuses on the presence of Leibniz in Difference and repetition (1968) and on the relevance of his thought in the creation of Deleuzes’ philosophical terminology. The third one is titled “A thousand folds”, paraphrasing the name of another work of Deleuze and Guattari. There I try to reconstruct the several theoretical lines that compose the concept of fold; furthermore, I try to underline the philosophical multiplicity of this concept. The fourth chapter focuses on the Baroque, which plays a fundamental role in Deleuze’s argumentations. Here I retrace his ideas about infinity and folding during the Baroque era. Then, I try to confront his theory with Walter Benjamin and Jacques Lacan’s lectures of Baroque. The last chapter deals with the concept of neobaroque.

Esta tese busca pensar o desfuncional latente em toda escritura, linguagem e vida: suas potências não dominadas, nem domináveis, pelo corte finalista, utilitarista, entre funcional e disfuncional, e o devir-poesia destes interditos quando revertidos em afirmação de possibilidades para além das determinadas pelos códigos fixados e modelos de composição existentes. As obras de Jacques Derrida e Gilles Deleuze (parte com Felix Guattari) são as referências centrais para a constituição deste pensamento, que constantemente se volta ao fazer poético. O trabalho, porém, é conduzido pela extravagante figura que ele livremente se cria do engenhoso fidalgo e cavaleiro Dom Quixote de la Mancha, por seu modo errante de atuar, sua andante poesia. Sua relação com a morte iminente; o papel da leitura em sua fantasia, cuja extensão se mostra incontornável a quem quer que se aproxime; sua irredutibilidade a qualquer juízo que se possa tentar de sua sanidade mental; sua constante construção de uma equívoca e fugidia identidade; e seu permanente e delirante improviso no teatro do mundo configuram uma escritura lúdica, inventiva, aberta, consciente de sua formação, de seu contexto e de seus percursos, o que possibilita a construção da noção de uma poética da existência, sugerida pelas especulações teóricas preliminares. / This thesis seeks to think the latent defunctional in every writing, as language and life: its potencies not dominated by the finalist and utilitarian cut between functional and dysfunctional, and the becoming-poetry of this interdicts when reversed in the affirmation of possibilities beyond those determined by fixed codes and existing composition models. The works of Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze (part with Felix Guattari) are the central references to the constitution of this thought, constantly turned to the poetic making. The work, however, is conducted by the extravagant figure that it freely creates of the ingenious gentleman and knight Don Quixote of la Mancha, by his errant acting mode, his walking poetry. His relationship with imminent death; the role of reading in his fantasy, which extension shows up inescapable to whoever gets close to it; his irreducibility to any judgment that could be tried on his mental sanity; his constant construction of an equivocal and elusive identity; and his permanent and delirious improvisation in the theatre of the world configure a ludic, inventive and open writing, aware of its formation, its context and its routes, which enables the construction of the notion of a poetics of existence, suggested by preliminary theoretical speculations.

The central objective of the research was to investigate the old age as a vector to creations of itself, requiring the structuring of a policy of meetings and with the support and means, the political philosophy of Deleuze. This search begins for questions and lines for what is happening and pierces the meetings, providing approximations of what distinguish a life of all the others, ie, singling and individuation processes that express something about the ways of life of each. The adopted methodological strategy was based on a rhizome and interstitial procedure applied in the literature of the surveyed works, prioritizing the issue that is in the friction between old age as agenciadora meetings, and an implied policy in the promotion and proliferation of good meetings, and the philosophy of Deleuze support for us we slide through his conceptual thoughts, in our view, still able to attract new interference, just by virtue of everything that happens in their midst. This methodology allowed the approach of different thoughts and the development of conjugations and trials in the search for a political meetings as a possibility for other creations. The alliance between these fields enabled think old age as an event, ie, containing within it the possibility of radical transformation of existence. In addition, the research advances in the development and mapping of a Deleuzian policy meetings, which, among other things problematize contemporary lifestyles / Esta tese resultou de um estudo fomentado nas ideias do filósofo francês Gilles Deleuze. O objetivo central da pesquisa foi investigar a velhice como vetor para criações de si, demandando a disparação de uma política dos encontros e tendo como suporte e meio, a filosofia política de Deleuze. Esta busca inicia-se por perguntas e linhas pelo o que se passa e transpassa nos encontros, propiciando aproximações daquilo que distingui uma vida de todas as outras, ou seja, os processos de singularização e individuação que expressam algo a respeito dos modos de vida de cada um. A estratégia metodológica adotada baseou-se num procedimento rizomático e intersticial aplicado na literatura das obras pesquisadas, priorizando a problemática que se encontra na fricção entre velhice como agenciadora de encontros, e uma política implicada na promoção e proliferação de bons encontros, tendo na filosofia de Deleuze suporte para podermos deslizarmos através de seus pensamentos conceituais que, a nosso ver, continuam capazes de atrair novas interferências, justamente por força de tudo que acontece em seu meio. Esta metodologia permitiu a aproximação de diferentes pensamentos e a elaboração de conjugações e ensaios na busca de uma política dos encontros como possibilidade de criações de si. A aliança entre esses campos permitiu pensarmos a velhice como acontecimento, ou seja, contendo em si a possibilidade de transformação radical da existência. Além disso, a pesquisa avança na elaboração e na cartografia de uma política deleuziana dos encontros, que permite, entre outras coisas, problematizarmos os modos de vida contemporâneos

A presente dissertação propõe, através de conceitos extraídos de pensadores diversos, em especial Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari e Giorgio Agamben, o desenvolvimento de ferramentas para análise e criação de obras artísticas no campo da representação. Partindo de dois conceitos-chave, o território na concepção de Deleuze e Guattari, e a profanação na interpretação de Agamben, esta dissertação discute a ligação existente entre áreas artísticas variadas (como a performance, o teatro, o cinema etc.), bem como a relação entre materiais do passado e os do presente, a fim de evidenciar o vasto campo de criação e análise artística presente nas artes da representação contemporânea. Ainda, para demonstrar a contundência do ferramental discutido e aprofundado nesta dissertação, o autor desenvolveu uma parte prática em que tece um texto dramatúrgico inspirado pelas ideias debatidas no decorrer do seu trabalho teórico. / The present dissertation proposes, through concepts drawn from diverse thinkers, mainly Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari and Giorgio Agamben, the development of tools for analysis and creation of artistic works in the field of representation. Based on two key concepts, the territory in Deleuze and Guattari\'s conception, and the desecration in Agamben\'s interpretation, this dissertation discusses the connection between varied artistic areas (such as performance, theater, cinema, etc.), as well as the relation between materials of the past and those of the present, in order to highlight the vast field of artistic creation and analysis present in the contemporary representative arts. Moreover, to demonstrate the strength of the tools discussed and deepened in this dissertation, the author developed a practical part, in which he weaves a dramaturgical text inspired by the ideas debated in the course of his theoretical work.

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo investigar de que forma a estrutura e a temática do texto de Franz Kafka, ao criarem um espaço de estranhamento na relação entre o leitor e o texto uma sensação constante de que algo está fora de lugar, constroem um campo de resistência política. Parte-se da análise dos elementos constitutivos da obra kafkiana, buscando localizar quais elementos efetuariam tal processo, assim como da análise dos trabalhos de pensadores como Adorno, Benjamin, Deleuze & Guattari e outros sobre o escritor checo. Para tanto, será feito recurso livre à produção do autor, com destaque para a tríade O Processo, O Castelo e A Metamorfose, sem prejuízo de outros contos, novelas, cartas e anotações de seus diários. Também será buscada uma articulação dos temas inerentes à obra de Kafka com os conceitos principais dos filósofos citados. Como procedimento metodológico, estruturamos este percurso em quatro eixos principais: a escrita, o conceito de mímesis, o conceito de estranhamento (unheimlich) e as relações entre arte, política e sociedade, com especial foco no conceito de resistência, presente nas definições de Adorno e Deleuze sobre a arte. Assim, busca-se averiguar o caráter político dos textos de Kafka como alegorias da condição humana. / This work aims to investigate the way Kafka´s thematics and narrative structure builds the sensation of uncanny, misplacing and oddity between the reader and the story. Simultaneously, these characteristics of Kafka´s work can build a political field of resistance. To achieve this goal and locate those elements in Kafka´s literary corpus, an in-depth analysis of his works letters, aphorisms, romances and short stories - is necessary, with special attention to The Process, The Castle and The Metamorphosis. Also, this work intends to establish a dialogue between Kafka´s thematics and the concepts of Adorno, Benjamin, Deleuze and Guattari, among others. Four lines of force are the core of this thesis: Kafka´s writing techniques; the concept of mimesis; the uncanny (unheimlich); and the linkage between art, poltics and society, with emphasis in the concept of resistance which is present in Kafka´s work and in Adorno´s (and also in Deleuze´s) definition of art. At last, what is the political status of Kafka´s work as an allegory of human condition?

Cette thèse se propose de contribuer à l’étude de la philosophie du temps et de l’éthique de Deleuze, en examinant parallèlement la conception du temps qui se dégage des trois synthèses dans Différence et répétition et celle de l’éthique qui s’incarne dans l’article ‘Spinoza et les trois « Éthiques »’ (Critique et clinique), en vue de démontrer l’isomorphisme entre la structure ternaire de ces trois synthèses du temps et celle des trois Éthiques. Cela permet de dégager un enjeu méta-éthique qui déborde le cadre deleuzien, et de ressaisir la conception de l’éthique dans une perspective temporelle. Il s'agit de tenter à partir de cette problématique à la fois temporelle et éthique, une réflexion méta-éthique, à l’égard de l’éthique deleuzienne, inspirée par Spinoza et Nietzsche. La démarche et le style adoptés pour réaliser cette thématique ne sont ni exégétiques ni herméneutiques mais orientés vers la mise en forme des arguments. Ainsi, au lieu d’être ancré dans les déclarations deleuziennes tenues comme acquises, en insistant sur un écart intellectuel et en pratiquant l’attitude argumentative, un véritable dialogue conceptuel avec Deleuze, d’un point de vue externe, devient possible. Ce dialogue argumentatif passe par l’emploi de concepts suffisamment puissants, qui ne font pas nécessairement partie du corpus deleuzien : le concept de ‘présentisme’ est introduit en rejoignant celui d’expression spinozienne pour rendre univoques les trois synthèses du temps ; le concept d’‘abduction’ est introduit pour éclaircir la manière philosophique de Deleuze. Cette thèse privilégie donc un point de vue externaliste dans la lecture de l’articulation entre ontologie du temps et éthique. / This dissertation plans to contribute to a study of the philosophy of time and the ethics of Deleuze, by scrutinizing the conception of time drawn from the three syntheses in Difference and repetition and that of ethics which is embodied in the article titled “Spinoza and the three « Ethics » ” (Critical and Clinical), in order to show the isomorphism between the ternary structure of the three syntheses of time and that of the three Ethics. This brings about a meta-ethical stake going beyond the deleuzian scope and also enables to recapture the conception of ethics from a perspective of time. It’s about trying to arrive at a meta-ethical reflection, on the deleuzian ethics inspired by Spinoza and Nietzsche, from this ‘problematique’ of both time and ethics. The approach and the style that are adopted to realize this theme are neither exegetical nor hermeneutical,but inclined to construct the arguments. Hence, instead of adhering to the deleuzian assertions taken for granted, by insisting on an intellectual reserve and by practicing an argumentative attitude, a genuine conceptual dialogue with Deleuze from an external point of view becomes possible. This argumentative dialogue is realized by applyingsome powerful concepts, which don’t necessarily attach to the deleuzian system: the concept of ‘presentism’ is introduced by joining it with that of the spinozian ‘expression’ in order to make all the three syntheses of time univocal; the concept of ‘abduction’ is invited to clarify the particular philosophical manner of Deleuze. Therefore, this dissertation privileges an externalist point of view in the reading of the articulation between ontology of time and ethics.

Autour des années 1990, le mot baroque ressurgit dans certains discours sur l’architecture numérique naissante et sur les changements qu’induisent les nouveaux logiciels de conception et de production par ordinateur. Peut-on dire que certains architectes vont jusqu’à prolonger un élan baroque dans de nouveaux modes d'exploration de la forme architecturale par les outils numériques ? Cette thèse propose une approche croisant la philosophie, l’anthropologie et la linguistique pour analyser les discours de deux architectes pionniers dans le développement des technologies informatiques. Greg Lynn (USA, 1967*) aborde la conception par des algorithmes qui génèrent des formes dites complexes, alors que Bernard Cache (France, 1958*) explore et théorise le file-to-factory, c’est-à-dire une chaîne continue entre la conception et la production. Ils se rapprochent tous deux par leur interprétation de Le Pli, Leibniz et le Baroque, de Gilles Deleuze (1988), ouvrage dans lequel ils puisent de nombreux concepts pour approcher les thèmes de la continuité, de la variation infinie des formes, et du non standard. L’analyse se concentre sur l’implication du baroque dans les stratégies discursives en tant qu’homologie structurante de leur pensée, et soulève sa dimension fictionnelle. La notion, en plus de constituer un archétype fondateur de l’imaginaire architectural de ces architectes, constitue d’une part un outil opératoire utile à leurs productions théoriques et architecturales. Elle est d’autre part instrumentalisée pour répondre aux enjeux intellectuels de leur époque. / During the 1990s, the word baroque reappears in some discourses on emerging digital architecture and the changes induced by new design and production softwares. Can we say that some architects are extending a baroque impetus in new exploratory modes of architectural form by digital tools? This thesis proposes an approach that combines philosophy, anthropology and linguistics to analyze the speeches of two architects, pioneers in the development of digital technologies. Greg Lynn (USA, 1967*) approaches the design by algorithms that generate complex forms, while Bernard Cache (France, 1958*) explores and theorizes the file-to-factory, which is a continuous chain between design and production. They become closer in their respective interpretation of The Fold, Leibniz and the Baroque, Gilles Deleuze (1988), a philosophical work from which they pull out many concepts to theorize the themes of continuity, the infinite variety of forms, and the non-standard. The analysis focuses on the involvement of the baroque in the discursive strategies as an homology structuring their thoughts, and raises its fictional dimension. The concept, in addition to be a founding archetype of the imaginary of these architects, is a useful operating tool in their theoretical and architectural productions. However, it is adapted to answer the intellectual challenges of their time.

Arsenal é um depósito de ideias advindas da sala de aula, da arte dita contemporânea e da filosofia de Deleuze e Guattari. Composto como um abecedário, trata-se de um dicionário nascido do embate entre o campo da arte-educação, aquilo que dizem os alunos e alguns artistas, misturado e transformado à moda da filosofia da diferença. A arte contemporânea interessa a esta pesquisa pelo embaralhamento que ela causa nas formas canonizadas e estáveis de se entender e receber arte, por intuir que tais operações artísticas podem contribuir para inserções da arte no ambiente escolar por meio da invenção e da potência. As experiências de mergulho na vida-aula, mais do que relatos do bem-sucedido, operam como disparos daquilo que gera o desconforto e o desentendimento, por entender com Barthes que a escritura começa onde a fala torna-se impossível. É, portanto, na negociação entre-margens da pesquisa e da prática que se situa este trabalho, acondicionando uma necessidade de encontros: arte, educação, filosofia e os tantos atravessamentos trazidos pela sala de aula. Com este Arsenal busca-se identificar uma suposta cultura escolar em torno da arte, tensionando a posição por ela ocupada na educação, ao mesmo tempo que propondo-se a inscrevê-la no cotidiano escolar, para além do binômio metodologia-conhecimento. Arsenal apresenta em vinte e três verbetes maneiras de encarar a sala de aula, a arte, os alunos e a escola como raridades, ao modo de Foucault, para que as coisas e as palavras não estejam diretamente relacionadas a verdades inquestionáveis, travando um embate por uma educação com mais vitalidade, onde a diferença e a criação possam brotar naquele espaço tão árido e pisoteado chamado escola. / Arsenal is a repository of ideas collected from the classroom, from so called contemporary art and from Deleuze and Guattaris philosophy. Compiled as an alphabet, it is a dictionary born of the clash between the field of art education and what students and some artists say, mixed and transformed in the fashion of the philosophy of difference. Contemporary art is of interest to this research because of the scrambling it causes to the canonized and stable ways of understanding and receiving art, in the belief that such operations can contribute to art inserts in the school environment through invention and power. Life experiences gathered in the classroom, rather than stories of success, operate as shots of what generates discomfort and misunderstanding, understanding with Barthes that writing begins where speech becomes impossible. It is therefore in the negotiation between the margins of research and practice that this work is situated, accomodating a need for a place where art, education, philosophy and so many crossings brought to the classroom meet. Arsenal seeks to identify an alleged school culture around the arts, tensing the position this culture holds in education, while proposing to inscribe it into everyday school life, to a point beyond the methodology-knowledge binomial. Arsenal presents through twenty-three entries ways to see the classroom, art, students and the school as rarities, in the Foucault mode, so that things and words are not directly related to unquestionable truths, waging a struggle for an education with more vitality and allowing difference and creation to spring up in that arid and trampled place called school.
