Por uma escrita como cuidado de si

Abstract

This dissertation seeks to problematize a series of issues that cross life in its contemporary molds, engendered by capitalism and neoliberalism, and affected with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. To this end, I map out the research/intervention traced from processes that affect me, involve me and that encompass personal and collective memories. I present and problematize the power of writing as a tool of resistance and collective enunciation, in addition to verifying the possibility, by the self-writing, of opening to a poetics of pain and difference. It is a production of minor literatures, that is a writing that gives consistency to the desire that asks for passage, different from a writing formal academic, typical of neoliberal logic, which submits and blocks the desiring flow from a hegemonic mode of knowledge production and a productivist logic. To this end, we experience the dialogue between my experiences and the concepts of Deleuze and Guattari, Michel Foucault, Friedrich Nietzsche, Byung-Chul Han and others. Thus, the dissertation works as a resistance movement that emphasizes a contemplative and creative process, which allows an escape from the massification imposed by the new psychotechnologies of power-knowledge.
