Micropolíticas de resistência: o Ateliê Casa 9 como uma experiência de coletividade

Abstract

Ethnographic study concerning a house employed on articulating artistic, cultural and political proposals, an independent cultural space named Ateliê Casa 9, located in Santa Maria/RS. In the present research, I inquire whether the collectivity experience of Ateliê Casa 9 and the cultural production mobilized by its residents are characterized as a strategy of resistance against the capture of subjectivation processes engineered by contemporary capitalism, in 1 the perspective of micropolitics of resistance proposed by Félix Guattari. In this context, I seek to describe the collectivity experience constituted in Casa 9 and analyze the extent to which the experiences lived there can represent micropolitics of resistance. In addition, I approach Ateliê Casa 9 as a symbolic and affective territory based on a reflection on symbolic kinship in the collective experience. Therefore, I seek to describe the particularities of collective living and the hybridity of the living space also as a countercultural space. I point out the relevance of this study due to the importance of researching a collectivity experience, placing its problematic in the reflections on micropolitics of resistance in the face of the capture of the processes of production of subjectification. The main empirical basis of this study is founded on my experience of living at Ateliê Casa 9, from June 2016 to February 2018. In a descriptive and analytical path, I resort to the methods of self-ethnography and observant participation, contributions from reports and collectively written texts by the residents of Ateliê Casa 9, and the methodological device of affections, which is a resource that enables analysis after the time of the field experience. As a result, I consider that the collectivity experience lived at Ateliê Casa 9 and the cultural production mobilized by the residents of the space represent micropolitics of resistance, as I understand that these experiences produced singularizations and subjectivities as they presented new ways of being and and dwelling in the world.
