The body in dispute. Art and learning in Gilles Deleuze

Abstract

This essay inscribes certain deleuzian notions that allow us to tension the discursive register of aesthetic education. We will argue that the notion of corporeality present in Deluze precisely dissolves the modern link between art and education. As it allows to conceive corporeality without a self-centered and hierarchical principle. Considering the above, we can support the idea of an artistic education - or if one prefers experimentation, influenced by Deleuzian thought, which operates in the encounter of bodies and affections. This would have the following pedagogical value: the recomposition of existential territories in our societies penetrated by capitalist flows.
