ALLIANCE AND AGENCY BETWEEN NATURE AND SUBJECTIVITY BY ERNST BLOCH AND DELEUZE-GUATTARI

Abstract

This essay has as its theme two philosophical concepts, namely, Ernst Bloch's concept of alliance technique and Deleuze-Guattari's concept of machinic assemblages, both developed respectively in “The Hope Principle” (1959) and in “The Anti-Oedipus” of (1972). Although such concepts presuppose distinct constellations and do not designate a univocity of meaning, they, on the other hand, comprise vectors capable of breaking with the alienation of technique from nature and its consequences as a capitalistic production. The alliance technique and the machinic assemblages present social processes engaged in becomings of co-productivity, implying a new relationship between the human and the non-human, of technique and sociability, of the man/nature alliance as an immanent affirmation of a creative revolution. Opposing the bourgeois technique and the axiomatics of universal capitalism. And having as reference the constitution of a concrete utopia, through a technique of alliance and an ecosophy in favor of life, in an ethical-political articulation, at the level of the three ecological registers, the environment, social relations and production of subjectivity.
