Os mecanismos de poder, segundo Foucault, seriam os dispositivos políticos e filosóficos instalados na sociedade e no pensamento com o intuito de conduzir as relações de conhecimento, as disposições, e os desejos humanos à afirmação e à conservação das relações de poder vigentes. Interessados somente na manutenção das estruturas hegemônicas, os mecanismos de poder investiriam no cultivo de nossas potências tristes e servis para subjugarnos aos desígnios dominantes, dirigindo-nos, assim, ora à adequação compulsória e à reafirmação espontânea dos regimes hegemônicos, ora ao desespero, à loucura e à morte. As linhas de fuga deleuzianas constituiriam movimentos de ruptura com tais regimes dominantes, que possibilitariam novas relações com a sociedade, com a subjetividade, com a linguagem e com o pensamento; o cultivo de potências ativas e criadoras; e, afinal, a emergência de uma vida estética. Analisando os materiais narrativos de O morro dos ventos uivantes e Mrs. Dalloway observamos como tanto os jogos narrativos dos dois romances quanto os próprios enredos e personagens narrados se engajam nestas mesmas discussões a respeito do confronto entre forças conservadoras e libertárias, do cultivo de potências diminutivas e aumentativas, e da produção de corpos servis e elétricos / The aim of this dissertation is an approach of the relations between the concepts of mechanisms of power and lines of flight – conceived in the works of Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze, respectively – and the novels by Emily Brontë and Virginia Woolf that entitle our work. Mechanisms of power, according to Foucault, would be the political and philosophical devices installed in our society and in our thought with the intent of driving our relations with knowledge, our disposition and our desire towards the affirmation and conservation of established relations of power. Interested only in the maintenance of hegemonic structures, mechanisms of power would invest on the cultivation of our sad and servile potencies to submit us to the dominant designs, driving us either to compulsory adequacy and to the spontaneous reassurance of hegemonic regimens, or to despair, insanity and death. The deleuzian lines of flight would consist in rupturing movements with such dominant regimens, that would enable new relations with society, subjectivity, language and with thought; the cultivation of active and creative potencies; and the eventual emergency of a aesthetic life. Analyzing the narrative materials of Wuthering Heights and Mrs. Dalloway we observe that both the narrative strategies of the novels and their plots and characters engage on these same discussions about the confrontation between conservative and libertarian forces; the cultivation of diminutive and augmentative potencies; and the production of servile and electric bodies

Sous le signe de l'irréductibilité de l'événement ou "devenir" des concepts à l'histoire des idées, le moment philosophique du structuralisme selon Deleuze (1967-1969) est envisagé selon trois points de vue correspondant aux trois parties de la thèse. <p>La première partie adopte la perspective historiographique pour y déceler, chez F.Wahl (1968), M. Frank (1989) F. Dosse (1991), deux principales sources de la méconnaissance du structuralisme philosophique deleuzien au profit d'un prétendu "post" ou "néo-structuralisme" (à partir de L’Anti-Œdipe) :<p> 1° le tracé d'une ligne de partage exclusif entre la philosophie et le structuralisme méthodique des linguistes et de Lévi-Strauss ;<p>2° le rôle de parangon joué par la déconstruction derridienne du structuralisme. <p>La seconde partie fait valoir l'irréductibilité du "portrait conceptuel" du structuralisme peint par Deleuze en 1967, tant à l'égard du "cliché scientiste" (linguistique ou axiomatique) dominant les présentations doxographiques contemporaines (F.Wahl et J. Piaget) qu'à l'égard de la déconstruction du structuralisme par Derrida. A rebours des premiers, Deleuze supprime le mètre-étalon (linguistique ou mathématique) permettant de hiérarchiser les disciplines concernées par le structuralisme et, en s’appuyant sur la théorie lévistraussienne de la fonction symbolique à la clef du structuralisme de Lacan, Althusser, Foucault et le groupe Tel Quel, il propose sept critères formels transdisciplinaires, valant autant dans les sphères philosophique et artistique que dans celles des sciences humaines et des sciences exactes. Ce faisant, à la différence de Derrida et du « néo-structuralisme », Deleuze associe en un même « Jeu idéal » Lévi-Strauss (philosophiquement moustachu d’être associé à Lacan, Foucault, Barthes et Althusser) et Nietzsche (philosophiquement glabre d’être revisité à la lumière du structuralisme). <p>La troisième partie envisage dans Différence et répétition et Logique du sens le développement philosophique de ce "personnage conceptuel" nietzschéo-structuraliste apte à accomplir le « renversement esthétique » du Platonisme nihiliste au profit de la création et de la dramatisation des simulacres/structures. Associant structuralisme et pensée sérielle (U. Eco), Deleuze compose une œuvre chaosmos, un simulacre sériel, polyphonique, « achevé-illimité » jouant de bribes et miette de tout ce que les philosophes ont pu « croire et raconter » depuis l’Antiquité grecque afin de dramatiser l’Idée problématique du structuralisme à la veille de Mai 68./Under the sign of the irreductibility of the event or the “becoming” of concepts to their history, the philosophical moment of structuralism according to Deleuze (1967-1969) is considered from three points of view corresponding to the three parts of the thesis.<p>The first part adopts the historiographical perspective to detect, in F. Wahl (1968), M. Frank (1989), F.

A partir del estudio de la filosofía del cine de Gilles Deleuze, y, principalmente, de sus dos libros sobre cine (“La imagen-movimiento” y “La imagen-tiempo”), el trabajo se propone profundizar, sobre todo, en la experiencia que, para el pensamiento, supone la “imagen-tiempo”. Luego de exponer la concepción del pensamiento de la “imagen-movimiento”, se analiza la génesis y problemática de la “imagen-tiempo”. Esto permite explicar la transición entre un paradigma y otro, la importancia de las formas “mixtas” en una visión no-historicista de los libros sobre cine de Deleuze, y cómo las cuestiones del “tópico” y la “videncia” son fundamentales para entender dilemas existenciales y éticos que pueden entenderse como parte de un diagnóstico de la modernidad. En el tercer capítulo, se abordan las implicancias que la presentación del tiempo (“la imagen-tiempo”) tiene sobre el pensamiento. En ese sentido, se profundizará en lo que Deleuze –apoyándose en Artaud– denomina como una “impotencia” del pensamiento, y se pondrán en relación las consideraciones de Agamben sobre el concepto de potencia y su co-pertenencia con el de impotencia. Luego, se interpretará la relación de esta “(im)potencia” con un “afuera en la imagen”, “afuera” que debe entenderse como un nuevo componente en la captura o relación con las imágenes que las estructuras del régimen de la “imagen-tiempo” llevan consigo. Por último, se explica que esta formulación del pensamiento implica, en realidad, más que una co-relación entre una “(im)potencia” y un “afuera en la imagen”; ya que la “(im)potencia” del pensamiento supone, también, una función de videncia, y, finalmente, una necesidad de creencia en el mundo o la vida. De esta forma, el trabajo se propone mostrar la complejidad de relaciones entre estos cuatro hitos conceptuales que determinarían lo específico de la experiencia de la “imagen-tiempo”: "impotencia", “afuera en la imagen”, "videncia", y "creencia".

Technology-based music educators are uniquely situated within the shifting landscape of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education. This dissertation investigates the lived experiences, perceptions, and teaching practices of secondary music teachers who teach through technology, exploring how they navigate the interdisciplinary connections between music, science, and technology. By employing a phenomenological methodology, the research reveals a transformation from an initially structured inquiry into a rhizomatic exploration, uncovering STEAM’s potential to challenge and transcend traditional educational paradigms. Drawing on metaphors of the tree and skunk, this dissertation contrasts hierarchical, binary models of knowledge with the rhizomatic thinking advanced by Deleuze and Guattari. Music technology educators thrive in these fluid, interdisciplinary spaces, which resist categorization and require constant adaptation. Situated in the epistemological ecotone between music and STEM fields, these educators embody a philosophical challenge to modernist, arborescent models of learning, embracing a post-humanist perspective that recognizes the interconnectedness and relationality of knowledge. The findings highlight how STEAM education, particularly within music, dissolves rigid disciplinary boundaries, offering students new ways to engage with music beyond traditional frameworks of performance and composition. Technology-based music educators serve as agents of change, creating opportunities for innovative teaching and learning that reflect the complexity of the contemporary world. Ultimately, this dissertation argues for a re-envisioning of music education as a liberal art through the lens of STEAM, one that acknowledges the philosophical and post-humanist implications of our rapidly evolving, interconnected world. In doing so, it positions music technology educators as vital contributors to a new renaissance in education, leading the way with their rhizomatic, transdisciplinary approaches to teaching and learning. .

While most orchestral instruments reached their final design in the 19th century, the expansion and redesign of traditional instruments have become increasingly common in experimental contemporary music. This dissertation explores the deep interconnections and reciprocal relationships between musical instruments, their historical, conceptual and technical frameworks, and the contemporary practice of instrumental expansion. It argues that musical instruments are both socially and historically saturated objects, deeply enmeshed in genealogical traditions that continue to influence their roles and possibilities. As a result, they function as aesthetically regulative devices. Through a critical analysis of instrumental expansion and the examination of two key works representing different philosophies of expansion, this paper seeks to problematize the implicit restraints inherent to musical instruments and magnify the moment of instrumental expansion, shedding light on the inner workings of this process. The dissertation is structured into four chapters, with each of the first three posing a fundamental question concerning instrumental expansion. The first chapter, "Why Expand?" draws from Deleuze, Guattari, and Foucault to contextualize musical instruments as territorial entities that demarcate and regulate a technical as well as conceptual field, rendering latent aesthetic values. These values, I argue, are perpetuated by the interaction between performer and instrument, which is codified according to pre-existing aesthetic standpoints. The second chapter, 'What is Expanded?', traces examples from the historical evolution of instrumental ideals, which, I argue, conflate the technical domain with changing notions of beauty. The third chapter, "How to Expand?" presents two contrasting case studies, representing different philosophies of expansion: Mauro Lanza and Andrea Valle’s Systema Naturae, and Lisa Streich’s Pietà. Rather than providing an exhaustive analysis of each piece, this chapter focuses on specific moments to explore their poetic and technical approaches to instrumental expansion. The fourth and final chapter offers a macro perspective, reflecting on history’s unrelenting grip on the present and its connection to the current stagnated cultural, social, and political moment. The dissertation concludes with a brief contextualization of three of my own works, Bricolage, Inquiline, and Relics of Movement, which are inextricably linked to the themes explored in this paper.

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2012. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The focus of this study will be on the unique way in which language is used in Marlene van Niekerk‟s collection of short stories, Die sneeuslaper (2010). When reading Die sneeuslaper it is impossible not noticing the number of Dutch words, as well as words and phrases from other foreign languages, as Bargoens, Rotwelsch, German, French, Italian, Hebrew, Greek and Maltese. Some of the characters‟ speech, as well as so called sound poems (or nonsense verses) are characterised by a number of newly invented words. However, the meaning of some of these words or phrases remains unclear. Other themes in the four short stories which will be analysed are the so called political responsibility of the artist, as well as music, rhythm and bird-noises. As a theoretical basis of this study, Deleuze and Guattari‟s Kafka Toward a Minor Literature will be used. In Kafka Toward a Minor Literature Deleuze en Guattari formulate their ideas regarding minor literature. They describe a major language as a language of dominance and power, while a minor language is a language without any power. According to them the three characteristics of minor literature are: the minor deterritorializes the major, minor literature is always political, and minor literature always has a collective function. Deleuze and Guattari‟s, as well as Bogue‟s writing regarding the territorialization and deterritorialization of the refrain, is also explored briefly. Deleuze en Guattari‟s theories regarding minor literature is used in this study to read Die sneeuslaper. In the end it is concluded that the unconventional use of language in this short story collection can be associated with the political nature of some of the stories. The unique usage of language in Die sneeuslaper, the way in which Afrikaans is transformed into a language that stammers, stutters and mumbles, can be seen as a subtle form of political protest. Therefore this collection of short stories can be seen as a form of minor literature. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie fokus op die vreemde wyse waarop taal in Marlene van Niekerk se kortverhaalbundel, Die sneeuslaper (2010), aangewend word. Met die lees van Die sneeuslaper is die hoeveelheid Nederlandse woorde, asook enkele woorde en frases uit ander vreemde tale, soos Bargoens, Rotwelsch, Duits, Frans, Italiaans, Hebreeus, Grieks en Maltees, opvallend. Verder is daar in die karakters se spraak, sowel as in klankgedigte (of onsinverse), vele nuutskeppings waarvan die betekenis nie altyd so duidelik blyk nie, teenwoordig. Ander temas wat in die vier verhale figureer en ondersoek sal word is kunstenaarskap, die sogenaamde politieke verantwoordelikheid van die kunstenaar, asook musiek, ritme en voëlgeluide. As teoretiese vertrekpunt vir die studie word Deleuze en Guattari se Kafka Toward a Minor Literature, waarin hul idees oor mineurlettekunde geformuleer word, gebruik. Deleuze en Guattari onderskei tussen ‟n dominante majeurtaal en ‟n mineurtaal wat sonder mag is. Volgens Deleuze en Guattari is daar drie kenmerke van mineurletterkunde, naamlik dat die mineur die majeur deterritorialiseer, dat mineurletterkunde altyd polities is, en laastens dat mineurletterkunde altyd kollektief van aard is. Bykomend word daar ook kortliks gekyk na Deleuze en Guattari, sowel as Bogue, se skrywe oor territorialisering en deterritorialisering in die refrein. Deleuze en Guattari se teorie oor mineurletterkunde word in hierdie studie as ‟n agtergrond gebruik om Die sneeuslaper te lees. Daar word uiteindelik tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat die onkonvensionele taalgebruik in die kortverhaalbundel wel geassosieer kan word met deterritorialisering en dat dit aansluit by die politieke aard van sommige van die verhale. Die wyse waarop Afrikaans in Die sneeuslaper getransformeer word na ‟n taal wat stamel, stotter en struikel, kan dus as subtiele, politieke protes gesien word en daarom kan dié kortverhaalbundel inderdaad as ‟n vorm van mineurletterkunde beskou word.

This thesis discusses the explication of the implicit side of language, from the perspective of the self, the social, and the text, as situated in the wider context of thinking about language 'beyond post-modernism.' Language is first discussed as an intricacy, an intricate and changing complex of explicit signs and implicit elements and processes. It is shown that the implicit processes, such the speaking of being (Heidegger), focusing (Gendlin), and the interrelatedness of language and culture (Agar), are ruptured by processes like deconstruction (Derrida) and the semiotic breach of the symbolic (Kristeva). Explication brings a part of the implicit to the surface in the form of creativity (Deleuze) and critique, which is also discussed in the examples of play (Gadamer) and care. The transformations involved are illustrated in reflections on writing (Plato), poetry (Trakl), life as immigrant, and on translation as a philosophical practice.

This paradigm is based on the strategy of making a force field as Converging Technologies or synergistic convergence NBIC (Nanotechnology, Biogenetics, Information Technology and Cognitive Science) of knowledges that are unified for a common target, i.e., the elementary structures of matter (the atom, the genes, molecules and cells). Technologies are analytically conceived based on Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault s arguments that consider machinic arrangements subject to the capitalist mega-machine or technologies of power and bodies seizure or what remains from them and subjectivities.
