Decolonizing the subject: for a poetic of being in difference

Abstract

In the sphere of recent theoretical perspectives of decolonial studies, the present article relates the impact of structuralist notion of the death of the subject with the current struggle for the affirmation of identity and visibility of social groups or people previously excluded, according to what is conceived so as to literature and aesthetic expression in general. In this sense, from Ernesto Laclau, Gilles Deleuze, Rodolfo Kusch and Ailton Krenak, it is projected another and combative poetic of being in the difference, engaged in the dissolution of metaphysical hegemonies in the speech of being, which go on to create more and more parts without parts. The investment in a position in the world and, as a consequence, in a literature that brings in its becoming change and reorganization of speech places, by updating the concept for inclusion in art, aims to bring the maximum power to the deterritorialization of preset settings of the universal and the particular. To decolonize the word, to this end, it is also to democratize as reality the distributions of the sensible of our time and space, always thinking, in the intense life that exists in the movement, more in involving than developing.
