SUMMARY:

Theory conceived by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, micropolitics are characterized as policies that produce subjectivity that are constituted by a set of active and reactive forces that will produce desire and, therefore, subjects in their desiring operation. Divergent from the psychoanalytic logic, on which desire would be the product of unconscious faults, micropolitics shows it as formed by multiple, unstable and co-producing semiotic assemblages of singularization and subjectivation, which, as a machine in the fitting of its gears and in the friction of its parts, order and lead the production of the desiring subject. Supported by the rhizomatic entries of this theory, this research seeks to defend that if the desire is produced by assemblages and these are engendered in a co-production of active and reactive forces, of affirmation and denial, it is possible to consider that there are assemblages that lead and produce in the subjects desires of death, self-destructive desires, in which a whole policy of subjectivation seen in the reactionary movements would induce it, through the normativities that are set as a regime of life, and, which has in death, its technology of power/control. Betting that the death wish is produced by the politics of normative life, it is understood that everything that diverges from it – the differences – tends to suffer from its capture. They are, consequently, the expressions of difference, the lives vulnerable to normativity that would suffer the most from the impediment of the production of their unique ways of life. Considering the theories of Michel Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari about homosexuality being a producing difference, we chose homosexual life and the representations of sex and gender as a means to understand the production of this desire, as well as the forces that resist it. In view of this, the objective of this thesis is to follow the micropolitical production of the death wish in homosexual paths and map the assemblages and practices that resist them. As a methodological input, it was noticed that the attribution of the micropolitics of the death wish demanded devices and methods that needed to be thought about. The perception of the path emerges, which, through the readings of Bergson by Lapoujade and Deleuze, was understood as a duration-means, a space-time of encounters and events that always give rise to a past-present and/or a present-past that are explicitly implicated, co-producing. This temporal aspect of the paths showed two paths for analysis: the ethnographic of affections and the cartographic of estrangements, giving rise to the ethnocartography of the paths. The path that has in itself spontaneity and imprecision, happens everywhere, putting the researcher to think about what of their codes could be deciphered, for this reason, it is understood to be a multi-situated research, not having a spatiality in the representation of territories that identify subjects, groups and cultures. In this way, the ethnocartography that takes place through homosexual paths is seen, in this research, by several statements (life stories, poetry, music, cinema, autobiographies, actions, performances, formation of institutions, spaces demarcated by representations of sex and gender, etc.) and are ethnocartographed by a set of devices, without being limited to any of them. This thesis intends to produce means that seek to think about the production of the death wish and the practices that resist it, following the homosexual paths, to bring reflections that contribute with new devices of anthropopsycho-sociological analysis, used in an ethical-aesthetic-political plan of expansion of the life.
