La estética sublime de Deleuze y Guattari Zepke, Stephen ARTE ESTETICA Deleuze, Gilles, 1925-1995 Guattari, Félix, 1930-1992 For Deleuze and Guattari, art is a bomb, and the artist is a revolutionary, creating incendiary devices that explode beyond our expectations, our regulations, and our representative norms. But what is this art explosion? It is the raw force of sensation, a sensation that goes beyond the limits of our ability to represent it, something that is always new and undetermined by our physical, conscious or historical conditions. This overwhelming sensation emerges from Deleuze’s fascination with Kant’s sublime, which in a significantly altered form emerges in Difference and Repetition as the key to Deleuze’s own aesthetic, which is founded on the discord of the faculties. Deleuze’s revisionist reading of the sublime opens Kant’s system to new possibilities, ones even Kant himself was not aware of. The sublime continues to be the principle of Deleuze’s aesthetic in his later work, in particular in the Cinema books, and Logic of Sensation, Francis Bacon. Para Deleuze y Guattari, el arte es una bomba, y el artista es un revolucionario que crea dispositivos incendiarios que explotan más allá de nuestras expectativas, nuestras regulaciones y nuestras normas representativas. Pero, ¿qué es esta explosión del arte? Es la fuerza bruta de la sensación, una sensación que va más allá de los límites de nuestra capacidad para representarla, algo que siempre es nuevo e indeterminado por nuestras condiciones físicas, conscientes o históricas. Esta sensación abrumadora surge de la fascinación de Deleuze con lo sublime de Kant, que en una forma significativamente alterada aparece en Diferencia y Repetición como la clave de la estética propia de Deleuze, la cual se fundamenta en la discordia de las facultades. La lectura revisionista de Deleuze sobre lo sublime abre el sistema de Kant a nuevas posibilidades, algunas de las cuales ni siquiera el propio Kant conocía. Lo sublime sigue siendo el principio de la estética de Deleuze en su obra posterior, en particular en los libros sobre Cine y en Lógica de la sensación, Francis Bacon. 2025-02-25T18:03:49Z 2025-02-25T18:03:49Z 2025 Artículo 2591-572X https://repositorio.uca.edu.ar/handle/123456789/19426 10.46553/tab.25.2025.e3 eng Atribución-NoComercial-CompartirIgual 4.0 Internacional http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ application/pdf Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina.
