ABSTRACT

This thesis is a study of the ecosophical practice ― the ethico-aesthetic ― within the ecosophy of Guattari (Felix Guattari, 1930-1992). Furthermore, this thesis looks at the ethical, as well as the aesthetic paradigm in the ‘production of subjectivity(subjectivité)’, which is a political concept of practice within Guattari's ecosophy. As a result, this thesis draws the following results. Firstly, Guattari's ecosophy sees the present day ecological crisis as the problem of human existence. And as an alternative, Guattari proposes three ecologies that traverse into one another: environmental ecology, mental ecology, and social ecology, which respectively corresponds to environment, subjectivity and social relations. A philosophical plan can be made by using the discourse of mental ecology as a base to a new ‘production of subjectivity’ through ethico-aesthetic practice to overcome the present day ecological crisis. Secondly, the substantial potential of the ‘production of subjectivity’ in Guattari's concept of practice is defined as active and as productive materialistic desires of the unconscious. That is, premising the concept of the subject group intends to find a new revolutionary autonomous ‘production of subjectivity’. Thirdly. in Guattari's ecosophy, art is presented as eco-logic and a model of ‘production of subjectivity’. Also, art is recognised as essential when it ‘changes to a new aesthetic paradigm’. This ‘change to a new aesthetic paradigm’, which is a ‘production of subjectivity’ is presented as a new aesthetic practical possibility, and therefore as a practical method that can overcome the present day ecological crisis. Therefore, it can be said that Guattari's ecosophy opens up the prospect of a variety of present day ecological aesthetic discussions.
