Henri Michaux: animality and conscience
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper examines Michaux’s work from the perspective offered by Deleuze’s ontology of becoming, which is partially based on the scientific theories of Simondon, Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Canguilhem. The analysis focuses on the category of animality, understood here as a figure that destabilizes the concept of man as an immutable form. For this purpose, we base our argument on the concepts of «pre-individuality» (Simondon) and «anomaly» (Geoffroy, Canguilhem), and we indicate affinities and disparities between Michaux’s conception of consciousness and the Deleuzean notion of «becoming-animal».
