ABSTRACT

This paper aims to grasp the essential ideas of Félix Guattari’s “ecosophy”, which are developed in his books, The Three Ecology (1989) and Chaosmose (1992). Guattari proposes “The Three Ecology” in order to criticize radically the standardized mode of production of subjectivity in integrated global capitalism, and research the condition of the various modes of subjectivation. The three ecology means a general and transversal ecology which is extended to the spheres of nature, mind, and society. The “refrain” which he underlines means a kind of disturbing repetitions in everyday life, and it functions as a starting point for retaining an auto-referential existential territory. This kind of mode of the production of subjectivity pays attention to the capture of concrete blocs of sensation, so it has basically characteristics similar to those of the Arts.
