Abstract

SIMONINI, Eduardo  and  ROMAGNOLI, Roberta Carvalho. Transversality and schizoanalysis. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.3, pp.915-929. ISSN 1677-1168.  https://doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2018v24n3p915-929.

In this essay we discuss the concept of transversality in Félix Guattari’s works (and their developments in the schizoanalysis) and the appropriation of this concept by the sociologist René Lourau (and its development in the institutional analysis or socioanalysis). In this way, we first present the transversality as Guattari understood it in his initial theories about groups, and then we extend the discussions to 1) how this concept is associated with the schizoanalysis, when valuing the plots that promote the invention of unprecedented existential aesthetics; and 2) how the transversality is associated with the institutional analysis or the socioanalysis, when unveiling the institutional unconscious. We finally conclude that, despite the different uses that the mentioned authors carry out on the concept of transversality, both maintain that this concept communes with the perspective of thinking reality as a political production, multiple and plural, opening subjects and groups to new types of crisis, criticisms and possibilities.

Keywords : Transversality; Schizoanalysis; Institutional analysis.
