Deviation gestures

an aesthetic discussion on inhabiting the city

Abstract

Taking the present moment as a period of transformation in social, existential compositions and, consequently, transformations in the desires to constitute cities, this article proposes to make a theoretical construction of what are the gestures of deviation and how they can announce new city conformations through the body of the people who inhabit these spaces. Thus, it is intended to stabilize an understanding of what the gestures worked here would be, using contributions from philosopher Giorgio Agamben and philosopher Barbara Formis, especially when she deals with the issue of ordinary gesture. In addition, it will also seek a stabilization of what is understood by deviation, still in the philosophical field, taking authors such as Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari and their reflections on how a society can conform. These concepts are approximated from the field of urban through an attempt to composition of nebulae, according to Margareth da Silva Pereira, because it is understood possibilities of interlacing, but always admitting a certain instability and movement. Thus, by understanding the gestures of deviation present in the city as an enunciation of the desire for ways to live, we arrive at the identification of two possible regimes of deviation in social real related to the understanding of macropolitics and micropolitics.
