The aberrant movements in the stories of Guimarães Rosa
aberrant movements; Guimarães Rosa; Deleuze and Guattari.
David Lapoujade, professor of philosophy at Parisian universities, editor and reader of Deleuze and Guattari, is the one who institutes the concept of aberrant movements to think Deleuze-Guattarian philosophy. In common language, the aberrant, in Portuguese, is linked to what is beyond normality. But the aberration as a movement, in philosophy, becomes everything that crosses thought, life, nature, the history of societies. It is in this sense that D&G proposes to reverse Platonism, build an Anti-Oedipus and new ways of doing philosophy, thinking of social bodies and desiring machines. It is in this sense that this philosophy turns out to be a true aberration; simply because it removes us from comfort, freeing us from the traps of recognition. Thinking, from a D&G perspective, is thus the art of relating everything that concerns life, nature, culture, law, politics, capitalism. All forms of life are machines that work in flow cuts. Very similar to this Deleuze-Guattarian project is what Guimarães Rosa proposes to do with his literary language. It was already seen, with Eduardo Coutinho, in his famous essay on the revitalization of language in Guimarães Rosa, that the writer's intention was precisely to cross the fictional discourse of Brazilian tradition. In this sense, just as D&G operates in philosophy, Rosa operates with cuts and breaks in the literary language. But it is not only in relation to language that Rosa provokes us, but also in relation to criticism of common sense and the ways of populating the land. Furthermore, to think in terms of machines that operate cuts and flows as D&G teaches us is to think of all forms of arts, including literature, as a plane of immanence
