APOSTAR NO FRACASSO COMO ÉTICA NA PALHAÇARIA - UM ENSAIO
Abstract
This essay addresses elements present in the art of clowning, particularly failure, astuteness and his relationship with hunger, proposing that these situations are inspirations, occasionally pedagogical, for ways of living alternative to patterns of subjectivity formatted by neoliberalism. The central argument is that, with success being a central element in individualistic paradigms (which is demonstrated in the essay mainly through texts by Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze and derivations), the failure present in the clown’ actions undermines the strength of human capital culture, promoting prudent deterritorializations and arrangements that make up powerful existential territories.
