Uma política da língua em assim falava Zaratustra de Nietzsche

Abstract

In this work, we seek to analyze the book Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1883 [2014]) by the German philosopher Friedrich W. Nietzsche, to test the hypothesis that one can find within it the materiality of new pragmatics or politics of language, according to Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari (1991b [2010]; 1980 [2011b]). Our objectives were: to observe, in the content-expression continuum of the work above, the indices of a language function; to analyze incorporeal transformations as attributes of bodies to the orders present in the work; and, finally, to understand the influence of Nietzschean perspectivism in the reformulation of the politics of language defended by Deleuze and Guattari. To achieve this, we composed a theoretical interpretive framework of philosophical discursive production using some methodological tools based on the analysis of philosophical formulas, especially concerning the idea of detachment and universal enunciation. Having stated this, we proceeded to analyze excerpts from Nietzsche's work in intersection with the concepts produced by Deleuze and Guattari (1980 [2011b]) and sought to locate the corporeal modifications and the incorporeal transformations that traverse the regimes of signs that pertain to the mentioned work. Once this procedure was undertaken, it became possible to observe how Thus Spoke Zarathustra presents itself as a politics of language, not asserting itself in and of itself, in its content, but in the incorporeal transformation it expresses, that is to say, its particular mode of expression, such that Nietzsche can only denounce language by operating its lines of flight from within it, treating language through a minoritarian becoming, which updates itself as a critique of the present.
