SUMMARY:

This essay experiment aims to map the work The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath by the American writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft in order to understand how the monstrosities are articulated in its composition plan and how they relate to its aesthetic figures, especially when interacting with the protagonist Randolph Carter, who traverses the various territories of a dream world in search of his marvelous city at sunset. To do so, we approach some authors and theorists who have developed their experiments regarding monsters, monstrosities and their relationships with the territories (reception and influence) in which they are inserted. These theorists include Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, José Gil, Jeffrey Jerome Cohen, and others. However, it is through the thinking of Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari, their ideas and concepts that turn towards the creation of a philosophy of difference, that we are able to establish better connections with Lovecraft's work and its monstrosities, especially because the creations of these philosophers of immanence allow us to approach the expressions of difference, multiplicities, intensities, and the unknown (novelty). From the conclusions, we discover that Lovecraft's writings open up to a plane of immanence and reveal to us its compositional intensities, to the extent that its monstrosities, as aesthetic figures, serve to reveal an expression of Deleuze e Guattari's philosophy, which is necessarily linked to difference itself.
