Abstract
HEFFESSE, Solange. Rhizomatic Writing and Schizophrenia in Samuel Beckett’s Trilogy. Bol. estét. [online]. 2024, n.66, pp.2-2. ISSN 2408-4417. http://dx.doi.org/10.36446/be.2024.66.362.
The present article aims to analyze the intersection between the writings of Samuel Beckett and Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, from the perspective of The Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus. The essential image that the authors draw from Beckettian’s literature is that of the schizophrenic’s journey, an initiatory, intensive, and immobile journey that contrasts with the autism or loss of reality of the clinical entity, adapted to the asylum. Our study will take three concepts as a starting point: Beckett’s style (defined in the German Letter and Three Dialogues), the novel (in particular, his Trilogy), and the schizophrenia of his characters, which serves as inspiration for Deleuze-Guattarian nomadic subjectivities.
