Performative Imperceptibility - Deleuze, Dramaturgy, and Performance Philosophy

该项目旨在调查吉勒斯·德勒兹在主体性和表演生产的双重背景下变得不可察觉的概念的伦理和美学含义。它打算通过理论和实践相结合的研究来做到这一点，同时建立了行为不可感知性的概念。理论轨迹将表明，德勒兹和瓜塔里对去客体的呼声有一张迄今为止未经检验的面孔：去客体意味着一种内在的(自下而上的)形式对客观的、微观的控制政治机制的抵抗，这些机制将每个主体限制在一个固定和受监管的社会存在中。虽然德勒兹和瓜塔里的大部分作品都指向主观性的精神分裂，但变得不可察觉意味着一种不会分解自我结构的抵抗，一种能够在不放弃凝聚力的情况下扩大自我的抵抗。这种抵抗形式可以理解为表演性的不可察觉：对生命的微妙但坚实的肯定。虽然关于德勒兹的内在哲学和当代表演之间的关系已经有了现有的学术研究(Ccull 2012，Lepecki 2016，Cvejic 2015)，但这个项目基于实践的方面将通过我作为戏剧策划者和/或表演哲学家的工作，通过与当代编舞和戏剧制作人的多次合作，展示表演的不可感知性作为戏剧的一种实验形式。该项目将考察戏剧作品作为一种内在的哲学能力：一种潜移默化的、细心的思维力量，有助于释放给定表演的哲学力量。最后，研究将反思这些力量挑战新资本主义时代主体性生产的能力，将该项目的理论和实践部分结合到一个共同的问题化领域。总体而言，本研究希望通过表述和实施表演性不可感知性作为将哲学作为表演性研究的一种具体方式来推进表演哲学的新兴领域--反之亦然。

The project seeks to investigate the ethical and aesthetic implications of Gilles Deleuze's concept of becoming-imperceptible in the dual context of subjectivity and performance production. It intends to do so through a combined theoretical and practice-based research, which in conjunction establishes the concept of performative imperceptibility. The theoretical track will show that there is a hitherto unexamined face of Deleuze and Guattari's cry for desubjectification: Desubjectification implies an immanent (bottom-up) form of resistance against the impersonal, micro-political mechanisms of control, which confine every subject to a fixed and regulated social being. Whilst most of Deleuze and Guattari's writings point towards a schizophrenic scattering of subjectivity, becoming-imperceptible implies a resistance that does not dissolve the self-structure - one that is capable of widening the self without giving up cohesion. This form of resistance can be understood as performative imperceptibility: a subtle but solid affirmation of life. Whilst there is existing scholarship on the relationship between Deleuze's philosophy of immanence and contemporary performance (Cull 2012, Lepecki 2016, Cvejic 2015), the practice-based aspect of this project will unfold performative imperceptibility as an experimental form of dramaturgy through my work as dramaturge and/or performance philosopher in a number of collaborations with contemporary choreographers and theatre-makers. The project will examine dramaturgical work as an immanent philosophical capacity: an imperceptible, caretaking force of thinking, which facilitates the release of the philosophical forces of a given performance. Lastly, the research will reflect on the capacity of these forces to challenge the production of subjectivity in the neo-capitalist era, conjoining the theoretical and practical parts of the project into a shared field of problematization. Overall, the research wishes to advance the emerging field of Performance Philosophy through the articulation and enactment of performative imperceptibility as a specific way to do philosophy as performative research - and vice versa.
