Ser pedra depende de prática rastros de uma escuta da inutilidade

Abstract

This research proposes an experiment on the border between clinic, performativity and literature with the intention of investigating the idea of useless and its clinical-ethical-aesthetic-political implications. Faced with neoliberal productivist rationality and the subjectivity-for-work that derives from it, it's important to ascertain the strength of what, from this point of view, is useless. The literature of Manoel de Barros guides this journey interested in the machining of other modes of subjectivation, other than those sustained by an imperative of productivity and efficiency. The work involves the exercise of Practices of Useless - an action-elaboration that seeks to create access to other regimes of attention and planes of perception. These practices, in themselves already a clinic, open the way to a reflection on how thinking about the useless can contribute to clinical listening that is sensitive to the interstitial expressiveness of the unconscious
