Abstract

An approach to Félix Guattari’s Ecosophy is proposed based on the analysis of the logic of dissent. Our hypothesis is as follows: promoting a dissensual practice is vital to eco-ethological knowledge that pursues the resingularization of experience in the context of increasing homogenization operated by Integrated World Capitalism. As Guattari emphasized during his visit to Chile, the abject of eco-ethology is not the critique of capitalism but to mobilize its active confrontation. The practice of dissent, in this direction, would make it possible to act against the homogenizing devices of subjectivity at a time when capitalism, after colonizing the world, also colonizes the unconscious. The article deals with the formulation of dissent in Guattari’s visit to Chile in 1991, establishing a counterpoint with his analysis in writings of recent years; it then analyses the articulation of dissensual logic in Guattari’s ontology. Finally, it explores the function of the logic of dissensus in the configuration of institutions from the perspective of transversality. © (2024), (Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Parana).
