Abstract

Deleuze and Guattari, in A Thousand Plateaus, vol. 2, explore the language-body relationship in discursive statements and the process of language embodiment. In dialogue with the chapter Fifth Series: Of Sense from The Logic of Sense, the question arises: is it possible to desire otherwise? This work seeks to imagine a narrative revolution that escapes the normative fictions of subjection. To this end, Artaud and Preciado are mobilized, articulating cruelty and dysphoria as critiques of dichotomous metaphysics and subjectivation. Drawing from the schizophrenic cogito, Derrida’s concept of supplement, and dysphoria as an aesthetic and political inadequacy, a new metaphysics is proposed, resignifying language and the body.
