Eliminação e deslocamentos da violência: uma transversalização com as sociedade de controle de Gilles Deleuze

Abstract

This article broach the distinction between violence and elimination, noting those traits that conceptually circumscribe violence in modern and disciplinary values. It presents a brief summary of the constituent components of Modernity detected in the approaches of Hannah Arendt, Walter Benjamin and Michel Wieviorka. The demarcation of the related elimination difference is made possible from the thought of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, considering the changes occurring in contemporary societies. Proposals for inclusion, Ano 2 n.7 Setembro – Dezembro 2015 p. 131 - 150 132 participation and education, accommodated the demands of disciplinary societies, become incompatible with the behaviors promoted for reproduction of financial capital and control societies. Numerous events have been pointing out a different perception of life and its valuation components. The elimination comes indicate an investment in the subjective process, which involves upgrading the capital, featuring changes of a way of life. New scales, caused by becoming silicon, generate feelings and affections, putting at stake demarcated forces in events which can be expressed by the verbs “to eliminate”, “to delete”, “to exterminate and “to select”. The work seeks to follow the route of elimination in the process of dispossession of violence when prompted by consumer practices, captured in control strategies and absorbed by the capitalistic subjectivity. The relationship between remove and consume announces not only the excitement purchasing power and the acquisition of products, goods, but subjective postures generated by the equivalent of eliminating the acts of spending, destroy, liquidate. The elimination happens to engender societies of control, through the communication and information equipment, invest in “to delete”. Actions and behaviors, coded in price and index, reproduce the mechanisms of financial capital in a kind of pedagogy exerted on social networks and digital games. The strategies themselves intensify, modulating “to eliminate” and “to delete” to “to exterminate”. They permeate different existential territories: the operation of enterprises to school massacres. The dispossession of vectors point to the power of creation of elimination through select, which, through an ethical and aesthetic dimension, marks the escape lines capable of asserting a difference and to produce a new way of life.
