Devir-criança na filosofia-sintetizador de Deleuze e Guattari

Abstract

From the problem of the sensitization of the senses and perception, as well as the question "what can a body do?", this thesis explores three notions of the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, namely: music, becoming-child and synthesizer-philosophy. Considering the mention of the authors that philosophy proceeds as a synthesizer of thoughts, in allusion to the musical instrument synthesizer, the thesis adapts this way of proceeding to the notion of synthesizer-philosophy to experiment it as a research method, connecting it to the three activities that make up the creative process of philosophy, as exposed by the authors in What is Philosophy? (2010): the drawing of the plane of immanence, the invention of conceptual personae and the creation of concepts. Such a method implies exploring the operation of consistency as an immanent procedure of thought in which heterogeneous elements are held together by a synthesis of disparate phenomena. Taking music and the concept of becoming-child as heterogeneous elements and synthesizing to them the disparate fragments that compose the research, this thesis seeks to sort some directional features of Deleuze and Guattari's plane of immanence extracted from Nietzsche's aesthetics and the Music of Nature in Uexküll's ethology. Following these directions, the thesis amplifies the power of an associated means of experimentation of Deleuze and Guattari's synthesizer-philosophy along with music and children's experiences. The consistency of this associated medium is intensified by the spinozist tone of the synthesizer-philosophy and explored here as an ethical direction to the plan of this philosophy in two ways: by synthesizing the concept of Refrain with Spinoza's three genres of knowledge, reinforcing the relationship between music and the process of creation; and by the authors' mention that spinozism is the becoming-child of the philosopher and that children are spinozists, articulating a field of experimentation from the experiences of children. The spinozisttone is implicated in the way the synthesizer-philosophy proceeds, in the path that leads to the creation of concepts, the experimentation of the body, the sensibility of the senses and perception as a process of deterritorialization of child Refrains that compose with a becoming-child of the philosopher.
