I10-R377-article-433662024-01-21T13:46:46Z An affective reading of the critical figure of Caliban in the theater of Marcos Azevedo Una lectura afectiva de la figura crítica de Calibán en el teatro de Marcos Azevedo Massano, Paula Caliban affect subjectivation desire micropolitics Calibán afecto subjetivación deseo micropolítica The figure of Caliban has proven to be a lasting and flexible symbol to the changes in the political reality of Latin America. The objective of this article is to resume the reflection on the critical potential of the conceptual-character in light of Suely Ronik's cartography of desire. For this, we will propose an affective reading of the theatrical monologue by Marcos Azevedo, Caliban (1997). This implies activating thought in its ethical, aesthetic and political function; to re-imagine a world in every gesture, affection and word. It is the encounter with the other that enables an "out-of-subject" experience capable of updating the world. The treatment that is going to be carried out on the Caliban metaphor does not intend to expand the representative flexibility of the Caliban trope, but rather to redouble its sign intensity, based on the analysis of the three movements of desire (territorialization, deterritorialization and reterritorialization) in order to inhabiting a state (intensity plateau) of permanent decolonization of thought. The critical figure of Caliban implies thinking from the outside, becoming-other, activating another sphere of subjective experience, one that is proper to our condition as living beings. La figura de Calibán ha demostrado ser un símbolo duradero y flexible a los cambios de la realidad política de Latinoamérica. El objetivo del presente artículo es retomar la reflexión en torno al potencial crítico del personaje-conceptual a la luz de la cartografía del deseo de Suely Rolnik. Para ello propondremos hacer una lectura afectiva del monólogo teatral de Marcos Azevedo, Calibán (1997). Esta implica activar el pensamiento en su función ética, estética y política; para re-imaginar un mundo en cada gesto, afecto y palabra. Es el encuentro con lo otro lo que habilita a una experiencia “fuera-de-sujeto” capaz de actualizar el mundo. El tratamiento que se va a realizar sobre la metáfora de Calibán no pretende ampliar la flexibilidad representativa del tropo Calibán, sino más bien de reduplicar su intensidad sígnica, a partir del análisis de los tres movimientos del deseo (territorialización, desterritorialización y reterritorialización) para poder habitar un estado (meseta de intensidad) de descolonización permanente del pensamiento. La figura crítica de Calibán implica pensar desde afuera, devenir-otro, activar otra esfera de la experiencia subjetiva, una que sea propia de nuestra condición de vivientes.

| description |
The figure of Caliban has proven to be a lasting and flexible symbol to the changes in the political reality of Latin America. The objective of this article is to resume the reflection on the critical potential of the conceptual-character in light of Suely Ronik's cartography of desire. For this, we will propose an affective reading of the theatrical monologue by Marcos Azevedo, Caliban (1997). This implies activating thought in its ethical, aesthetic and political function; to re-imagine a world in every gesture, affection and word. It is the encounter with the other that enables an "out-of-subject" experience capable of updating the world.
The treatment that is going to be carried out on the Caliban metaphor does not intend to expand the representative flexibility of the Caliban trope, but rather to redouble its sign intensity, based on the analysis of the three movements of desire (territorialization, deterritorialization and reterritorialization) in order to inhabiting a state (intensity plateau) of permanent decolonization of thought. The critical figure of Caliban implies thinking from the outside, becoming-other, activating another sphere of subjective experience, one that is proper to our condition as living beings. |
