Opis

In the following pages Jairo Gutiérrez Bossa seeks to investigate the concept of resistance in the political philosophical thought of Gilles Deleuze, starting from the affirmation that the connection between the work of art and the struggle of men is a mystery, proposing the conatus as the link. To approach this work, four themes will be analyzed: the political inputs in Gilles Deleuze, relying on the works of Louis Althusser and Michel Foucault. The control society and false freedom, including a study on capitalism, schizophrenia and the media. The act of creation as a praxis of resistance, and finally, the conatus, as a Deleuzian extrapolation of Spinoza's concept, as resistance itself. This work is not only a formal study, it is the creation of a risky but full of experiences proposal, away from the simple process of question and answer and turned into a singular process that does not seek to enter into the questions but to get out of them. That is to say, to walk along the border paths of experience, going out of opinions. It is an encounter with Deleuze, an event.
