Medieval bodies often push against easy categorization. Hybrids, saints, giants, and transformative bodies are represented in literature as falling between or occupying multiple taxonomic hierarchical positions of divine, human, or animal. / 10000-01-01

249 pages / We are witnessing today the beginning of a return to and renewal of the theory and practice of political revolution. This return to revolution, however, takes none of the traditional forms: the capture of the state, the political representation of the party, the centrality of the proletariat, or the leadership of the vanguard. Rather, given the failure of such tactics over the last century, coupled with the socio-economic changes brought by neoliberalism in the 1980s, revolutionary strategy has developed in a more heterogenous and non-representational direction. The aim of this dissertation is to map an outline of this new direction by drawing on the theory and practice of two of its main inspirations: French political philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari and, what the New York Times has called “the first post-modern revolution,” the 1994 Zapatista Uprising in Chiapas, Mexico. The aim of this dissertation is thus threefold. First, I provide a philosophical clarification and outline of a revolutionary strategy that both describes and advances the process of constructing real alternatives to state-capitalism. Second, I focus on three influential and emblematic figures of revolutionary history, mutually disclosive of one another, as well as this larger revolutionary return: Deleuze, Guattari, and the Zapatistas. Third, and more specifically, I propose four novel theoretical practices that characterize this return to revolution: (1) a multi-centered diagnostic of political power; (2) a prefigurative theory of political transformation; (3) a participatory theory of the body politic; and (4) a theory of political belonging based on mutual global solidarity.

abstract: This philosophical inquiry explores the work of philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari and posits applications to music education. Through the concepts of multiplicities, becoming, bodies without organs, smooth spaces, maps, and nomads, Deleuze and Guattari challenge prior and current understandings of existence. In their writings on art, education, and how might one live, they assert a world consisting of variability and motion. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari's emphasis on time and difference, I posit the following questions: Who and when are we? Where are we? When is music? When is education? Throughout this document, their philosophical figuration of a rhizome serves as a recurring theme, highlighting the possibilities of complexity, diverse connections, and continual processes. I explore the question "When and where are we?" by combining the work of Deleuze and Guattari with that of other authors. Drawing on these ideas, I posit an ontology of humans as inseparably cognitive, embodied, emotional, social, and striving multiplicities. Investigating the question "Where are we?" using Deleuze and Guattari's writings as well as that of contemporary place philosophers and other writers reveals that humans exist at the continually changing confluence of local and global places. In order to engage with the questions "When is music?" and "When is education?" I inquire into how humans as cognitive, embodied, emotional, social, and striving multiplicities emplaced in a glocalized world experience music and education. In the final chapters, a philosophy of music education consisting of the ongoing, interconnected processes of complicating, considering, and connecting is proposed. Complicating involves continually questioning how humans' multiple inseparable qualities and places integrate during musical and educative experiences. Considering includes imagining the multiple directions in which connections might occur as well as contemplating the quality of potential connections. Connecting involves assisting students in forming variegated connections between themselves, their multiple qualities, and their glocal environments. Considering a rhizomatic philosophy of music education includes continually engaging in the integrated processes of complicating, considering, and connecting. Through such ongoing practices, music educators can promote flourishing in the lives of students and the experiences of their multiple communities. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Music Education 2013

This thesis addresses the question posed to ecocriticism by Dana Phillips in his iconoclastic The Truth of Ecology: Nature, Culture, and Literature in America: “What is the truth of ecology, insofar as this truth is addressed by literature and art?” by examining how ecocriticism has, or has failed to, contextualize ecocritical discourse within an ecological framework. After reviewing the current state of ecocriticism and its relationship with environmentalism, the thesis suggests that both rely on the same outmoded, inaccurate and essentially inutile ecological concepts and language, and argues for a new approach to ecocriticism that borrows its concepts and language from the geophilosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. The thesis concludes with a reassessment of the work of Barry Lopez, showing how his fiction, when viewed through the lens of geophilosophy, does not support essentialist notions of nature, but rather works to articulate a world of multiplicities, and new modes of becoming.

By reviewing the most relevant theoretical tendencies related to the fictional genre (HUTCHEON, 1991; MENTON, 1993;ESTEVES, 2010), I criticize the didacticism found in these theories. By the mapping of the incipient criticism works of Bueno’s novel, I present a deviation related to these preview works, aiming at a concept of literature closer to the cathartic and deterritorialization function of the esthetic text. To do that, I try to define the historical novel specificity, describing it as a private manifestation of the historical social imagination (BANN, 1994) that puts into practice images from the past (ANKERSMIT, 2001). In this perspective, however, the literary writing is characterized by the way a writer disconnects these images from the past and puts his reader in touch with a non-place, making it possible, through the use of language, a hollowing out experience. To promote this reading, I make use of rhizomatic perception of the literary phenomenon, such as Deleuze and Guattari present it in Mil Platôs (2011), identifying, in the novel, lines of hard, molecular and abstract segmentarity. So, I understand the images from the past to be mobilized in the fiction as components of the novel’s hard segmentarity line, placing, as a next step, the literary resources that work with what Deleuze and Guattary named quantums of deterritorialization. But if the fiction historical meaning is affected by the molecular segmentarity line, it is in the abstract segmentarity line that, with greater intensity, it disappears and leaves room for a dive in the other of all worlds (BLANCHOT, 1997; LEVY, 2011). Thus I identify the moment of the novel’s abstract segmentarity line when everything takes place in terms of a savage and implacable present. The abstract segmentarity line makes the historical novel an experiment about the limits of a historically determined society, showing the possible fissures on the subjectivity wall from a past time, deforming History, promoting the contact with its hollowing out. / Este trabalho propõe, a partir da filosofia de Deleuze e Guattari, uma leitura rizomática do romance histórico Amar-te a ti nem sei se com carícias (2004), do escritor paranaense Wilson Bueno. Revisitando as principais tendências teóricas ligadas à modalidade ficcional (HUTCHEON, 1991; MENTON, 1993; ESTEVES, 2010), realizo uma crítica ao didatismo presente nestas teorias. Mapeando a incipiente fortuna crítica do romance de Bueno, apresento um desvio em relação a este conjunto de trabalhos, visando uma conceituação de literatura que acena para a função catártica e desterritorializante do texto estético. Para tanto, procuro definir a especificidade do romance histórico, apresentando-o como uma manifestação particular da imaginação histórica (BANN, 1994) social que erige ou coloca em funcionamento imagens do passado (ANKERSMIT, 2001). Na perspectiva que proponho, contudo, a obra literária se caracteriza pelo modo como um escritor desarticula tais imagens do passado e coloca o seu leitor em contato com um nãolugar, possibilitando, através da linguagem, uma experiência do Fora. No intuito de operacionalizar tal leitura, recorro à percepção rizomática do fenômeno literário, tal como Deleuze e Guattari a apresentam em Mil Platôs (2011), identificando, no romance, linhas de segmentaridade dura, linhas de segmentaridade maleável e linhas de fuga. Deste modo, entendo as imagens do passado mobilizadas na ficção como constituintes da linha dura do romance, localizando, num segundo momento, os recursos literários que funcionam como aquilo que Deleuze-Guattari denominam quantas de desterritorialização. Mas se o significado histórico presente na ficção se abala com a linha maleável, é na linha de fuga que, com maior intensidade, ele se desfaz e dá lugar a um mergulho no outro de todos os mundos (BLANCHOT, 1997;LEVY, 2011). Identifico, deste modo, o momento da fuga no romance, quando tudo se coloca em termos de um presente selvagem e indomável. A linha de fuga faz do romance histórico um experimento acerca dos limites de uma sociedade historicamente determinada, mostrando as rachaduras possíveis no muro da subjetividade de um tempo passado, desfigurando a História, promovendo um contato com o seu Fora.

Essa pesquisa parte da percepção, cada vez mais acentuada, da centralidade que alguns conceitos formulados pelo filósofo Gilles Deleuze e pelo psicanalista Félix Guattari têm tido no pensamento educacional brasileiro. Não é difícil depararmos com apropriações de conceitos tais como nomadismo, devir, cartografia, rizoma, platôs, micropolítica, desterritorialização e tantos outros. A apropriação do conceitual deleuze-guattariano tem produzido deslocamentos e inspirado procedimentos analíticos diversos daqueles que tomaram corpo no início dos anos 1990, no seio dos estudos denominados de póscríticos, abrindo espaço para aquilo que denominamos de experimentações do pensamento. Procurando erigir uma crítica capaz de afectar o leitor e levá-lo a produção um pensamento outro, mais do que conduzi-lo à constatação de uma verdade presente alhures, a produção que tem se valido da filosofia de Deleuze e Guattari assume contornos analíticos até então inéditos, experimentando o intensivo que os conceitos elaborados pela dupla de autores comportam. Diante desse cenário, da imensa miríade de escritos que vemos surgir a cada dia articulando de maneira inusitada o pensamento da diferença de Deleuze e Guattari a tópicos educacionais, faz-se necessário interpelar essa literatura de forma a apreender sua singularidade e os novos procedimentos analíticos resultantes desse cruzamento. Dessa forma, buscaremos apresentar uma problematização dos estudos de cunho deleuze-guattarianos no campo educacional brasileiro, focalizando para tanto os artigos publicados nos 44 melhores conceituados periódicos acadêmicos da área de acordo com a tabela Qualis 2013 entre os anos 1990 e 2013. Orientado por uma abordagem pós-estruturalista em educação, trata-se de um estudo crítico fundamentado nos conceitos de arquivo e problematização, ambos oriundos do legado do pensador francês Michel Foucault; tendo por objetivo apreender as condições de emergência da literatura deleuzeana na seara educacional, tomamos como referência analítica a seguinte questão frente ao fundo documental dos periódicos indexados: de que maneira a produção acadêmica educacional tem experimentado a necessidade de deleuzear ou guattariar ou deleuze-guattariar? / This research aims at developing an analisys about the importance of the concepts formulated by Deleuze and Deleuze-Guattari in Brazilian educational thought. It is not difficult, in academic articles, to come across with concepts such as nomadism, devir, cartography, rhizome, plateaus, deterritorialization and many others. The appropriation of the conceptual deleuze-guattarian has produced displacements and inspired analytical procedures other than those that took shape in the early 1990s , within the study called \"post- critical\" , paving the way for what we call trials of thought. Looking erect a critical able to affect the reader and get him to produce a thought the other , rather than lead him to the discovery of a truth this elsewhere, a production that has been using the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari assumes analytical contours hitherto unpublished , experiencing intensive that the concepts developed by the duo of authors behave . Given this \"deleuzean\" shadow which hovers over the field such as the myriad of writings that we see emerging every day, it is necessary to question this literature in order to set up a possible horizon of dissemination of such thinking in Brazilian education academic production. Therefore, we try to present a problematization of deleuz-guattarian studies in Brazilian educational field, focusing on the top 44 articles published in reputable journals in the area - according to the table Qualis 2013 - between 1990 and 2013. Guided by a post-structuralist approach in education, this research is a critical study which is grounded in an interrogational sitting here on the concepts of file and problematization which comes from the legacy of French thinker Michel Foucault. Our objective is to apprehend the emergency conditions of this Deleuzian literature in the educational studies. We submit the following analytical question to the archive of journals indexed: how educational scholarship has experienced the need for deleuzear or guattariar or deleuze-guattariniar?

Cette thèse a pour objet la « psychiatrie matérialiste » (ou « schizo-analyse ») élaborée par Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari dans L’anti-Œdipe en 1972. Elle vise à déterminer le contenu conceptuel de cette pratique théorique, trop facilement reléguée dans l'abstraction d'un imaginaire spéculatif. La schizo-analyse, qui s'édifie avec et contre la psychanalyse, se propose de transformer les directions de la cure psychanalytique en procédant à une refonte de la théorie métapsychologique à partir du modèle clinique de la schizophrénie. Notre projet consiste à mettre en évidence la présence d’une métapsychologie fonctionnaliste dans L’anti-Œdipe et à mesurer les effets de déviation qu’elle implique pour la psychanalyse, dont elle modifie conceptuellement les principales opérations. Dans une première partie, nous prenons pour fil conducteur le concept de « corps sans organes », différencié en plusieurs moments renvoyant chacun à une station vitale déterminée, pour montrer que des schèmes dialectiques organisent l’exposition des synthèses du processus de production de l’inconscient et examiner ensuite les conditions de l’incorporation de cette dialectique du désir dans la théorie de la production sociale. Dans une deuxième partie, nous déduisons de la métapsychologie deleuzo-guattarienne les principes des relations intersubjectives et nous efforçons de déterminer le statut de la perversion qui les affecte à divers degrés pour appréhender la relation analytique qui constitue, selon L’anti-Œdipe, une relation perverse paradigmatique. La troisième partie examine les conditions d’une psychanalyse rénovée par la schizo-analyse. / The object of this thesis is the « materialist psychiatry » (also referred to as « schizoanalysis ») which Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari detailed in their 1972 work entitled Anti-Œdipus. Our project is to outline the conceptual contents of this practical theory which has too often been misapprehended and discarded as mere abstraction. Schizoanalysis, which was set up both along and against psychoanalysis, aims at reorienting the basis of psychoanalytical cures by remodelling the metapsychological theory, using the clinical study of schizophrenia. Our concern is to show evidence of a functionalist metapsychology within Anti-Œdipus and to measure exactly how and how much it bends the ways of psychoanalysis by modifying the concepts that lie at the core of its operations. In our first chapter we will pore over the concept of the “body without organs”, which falls into several distinct parts, each corresponding to a vital station, in order to show that the synthesis of the production of the unconscious is exposed in agreement with different dialectical schemes, and then to examine under which conditions this dialectic of desire is incorporated into the theory of social production. In our second chapter, we infer from Deleuze and Guattari’s metapsychology the principles of subjective interactions and we strive to determine the precise nature of the perversion that affects them, in order to get a thorough grasp of the analytical relationship which, according to Anti-Œdipus, amounts to the paradigm of a perverse relationship. Our third chapter examines to what extent psychoanalysis can be rejuvenated thanks to schizoanalysis.

D’après Deleuze, écrire sur la musique constituerait un « sommet » de la pensée, l’idée d’une « supériorité » du musical sur les autres formes d’art étant, par là même, affirmée. La relation entre musique et philosophie n’est pas, dans sa pensée, de l’ordre du commentaire mais du devenir. Autrement dit, la musique n’est pas un simple objet d’analyse puisqu’elle influence en retour le style de conceptualisation du philosophe. C’est pourquoi ce problème s’articule selon deux perspectives qui s’échangent sans se concilier tout à fait : un devenir-musical de la philosophie, un devenirconceptuelde la musique. On pense par exemple au concept décisif de ritournelle qui désigne à la fois une « petite musique » etl’éternel retour.Le devenir-musical de la philosophie correspond à une dimension « artiste » de la pensée, le style d’écriture devenant un enjeu majeur. Deleuze partage avec les romanciers la création d’une langue étrangère dans la langue courante – création qui tend vers une « musicalisation » du langage. Si l’écrivain invente une « petite musique » par une mise en variation continue de la langue, le devenir musical de la philosophie implique une variation continue du concept, notamment parl’usage de la métaphore. Le texte philosophique refuse alors toute approche interprétative pour intensifer la part affective du texte. Un tel devenir n’est pas sans produire une forme d’ambiguïté puisqu’il finit par rendre indiscernable poésie et philosophie. Comment assumer la part musicale de la pensée deleuzienne dans le champ de la philosophie ? Le devenir-conceptuel de la musique correspond à un aspect plus traditionnel de la pensée deleuzienne puisque la musique y est soumise à l’appareillage ontologique du philosophe. En toute logique, l’idéal esthétique vers lequel tend tout agencement musical s’avère être la variation continue. Reprenant à son compte les dualités bergsoniennes, Deleuze assimile lemusical au domaine de l’intensif et du différentiel contre ce qui touche à la représentation. Sur la question fondalementaledu temps musical, Deleuze s’inspire de Wagner Proust, Bergson et Boulez pour développer une métaphysique de la musique autour de deux notions : le passé pur comme Mémoire cosmique et la réminiscence comme moyen esthétique d’y accéder. Du fait de la nature idéaliste de cette conception, Deleuze s’oppose à l’esthétique nietzschéenne pour renouer avec le romantisme / According to Gilles Deleuze, writing about music would be a summit of thought, the idea of superiority of the music is even asserted. Deleuze doesn’t think the relationship between music and philosophy as a comment but as a becoming. Music is not just a subject of analysis since in turn influences the style of conceptualization of the philosopher. The musical question thus revolves around two perspectives : a becoming-music of philosophy, a becoming-conceptual of music. For example,the concept of refrain refers to both a "little song" and the eternal return of Nietzsche.Becoming-music of philosophy is an artistic dimension of thought, so the writing style became a major issue. Deleuze shares with writers the creation of a foreign language in everyday language - which tends to create a « musicalisation » of words. As the writer invents a word music with a continuously variable setting of the language, the music of philosophy implies a continuous variation of the concept, including the use of metaphor. The philosophical text then refuses any interpretative approach to concentrate the affective part of the text. Such becoming is not without producing a form of ambiguity since it ultimately makes indistinguishable poetry and philosophy. How to take music fot the deleuzian concept in the field of philosophy?The same continuous variation is seen under high aesthetic ideal within the becomingconceptual of music. This second perspective corresponds to a more traditional aspect of Deleuze's thought since music is subjected to the ontological apparatus of the philosopher. Inspired by Wagner, Proust, Bergson and Boulez, Deleuze develops a metaphysic ofmusic based on two notions : the pure past and reminiscence. Because of such an idealistic conception of music aspect, Deleuze opposes Nietzsche's aesthetics to revive the romantism
