O rosto linguístico e a desrostificação literária

Assignificância e assubjetividade em Proust e Kafka

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Although Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari were not the first to deal with the problem of the face as an expressive field of affects, they gave it a new understanding in two ways: concrete faces and the face as an abstract machine. The first way involves three conditions that the face carries (affectivity, individuation and socialization) and the second concerns two axes (subjectivity and signification). This work starts from the path opened up by these thinkers and claims that Literature and Philosophy would be capable, through their own means of creation, of undoing the face. In this sense, they would open up paths for new experimentations outside the significational model in Art and away from the subjective model in Philosophy. We would therefore have affective fields outside of affections and philosophical concepts that do not refer to a philosophy of the subject. Throughout this work, with Kafka and Proust, we will see how undoing the faces implies opening up new paths for Literature and Philosophy and the dangers that lie in this journey.
