This article charts differences between Gilles Deleuze's and Gaston Bachelard's philosophies of science in order to reflect on different readings of the role of science in Deleuze's philosophy, in particular in relation to Manuel DeLanda's interpretation of Deleuze's work. The questions considered are: Why do Gilles Deleuze and Gaston Bachelard develop radically different philosophical dialectics in relation to science? What is the significance of this difference for current approaches to Deleuze and science, most notably as developed by Manuel DeLanda? It is argued that, despite its great explanatory power, DeLanda's association of Deleuze with a particular set of contemporary scientific theories does not allow for the ontological openness and for the metaphysical sources of Deleuze's work. The argument turns on whether terms such as ‘intensity’ can be given predominantly scientific definitions or whether metaphysical definitions are more consistent with a sceptical relation of philosophy to contemporary science.

Epistemological Realism

Der Begriff der Phänomenotechnik, den Gaston Bachelard in den 1930er Jahren einführte, erfreut sich in der neueren Wissenschaftsforschung großer Beliebtheit, welche damit auf die technische und sozial vermittelte Dimension wissenschaftlicher Tatsachen hinweist. Im Zuge der allgegenwärtigen Rückkehr zu ›realistischen‹ Wirklichkeitsauffassungen wurde das Konzept der Phänomenotechnik mehrheitlich als ›konstruktivisches‹ Relikt verworfen. Der Beitrag schlägt eine alternative Lesart des Konzepts vor, in der es anstelle der These von der Konstruiertheit aller wissenschaftlicher Tatsachen um die spezifische Verbindung von Phänomenalität und Technizität geht: Was heißt es, davon auszugehen, dass dasjenige, was erscheint, nicht einfach gegeben ist, sondern immer erst zur Sichtbarkeit gebracht werden muss? Anstelle einer Technikauffassung, die Technik bloß auf Entlastung und auf die Fähigkeit des ›Übersehens‹ zurückführt (›Anästhesie‹ des Mediums), wird für eine Technikauffassung plädiert, die der eigentümlich hervorbringenden, aisthetisierenden Leistung des Technischen Rechnung trägt. Abschließend werden die Parameter einer noch zu schreibenden ›Techno-Ästhetik‹ benannt. <br><br>The notion of ‘phenomenotechnique’ which Gaston Bachelard introduced in the 1930’s has enjoyed popularity among historians of science who used it in order to insist upon the technical and social mediateness of scientific facts. In the wake of the current triumphal return to epistemological ‘realism,’ the idea of phenomenotechnique has been dismissed as an alleged relic of ‘constructivism.’ The article advocates for a different reading of ‘phenomenotechnique,’ which, rather than insisting on the fabrication of the scientific fact, highlights the intrinsic connection of phenomenality and technicality. Phenomena are not simply given, they must be brought to visibility. While philosophies of technique have mostly stressed that technicity consists in overlooking the process (the ‘anesthesia’ of the medium), the paper argues for a conception of technicity that makes space for its productive, aestheticizing capacity. Finally, the article gestures towards parameters of what a ‘techno-aesthetics’ could look like.

Cultural Turn

As the linguistic/cultural turn of the last fifty years has begun to ebb, sociolegal and legal-humanist scholarship has seen an accelerating return to materiality. This chapter asks what relationship may be forthcoming between the “new materialisms” and “vibrant matter” of recent years, and the older materialisms—both historical and literary, both Marxist and non-Marxist—that held sway prior to post-structuralism. What impact might such a relationship have on the forms, notably “spatial justice,” that materiality is assuming in contemporary legal studies? To attempt answers, the chapter turns to two figures from more than half a century ago: Gaston Bachelard—once famous, now mostly forgotten; and Walter Benjamin—once largely forgotten, now famous. A prolific and much-admired writer between 1930 and 1960, Bachelard pursued two trajectories of inquiry: a dialectical and materialist and historical (but non-Marxist) philosophy of science; and a poetics of the material imagination based on inquiry into the literary reception and representation of the prime elements—earth, water, fire, and air. Between the late 1920s and 1940, meanwhile, Benjamin developed an idiosyncratic but potent form of historical materialism dedicated to “arousing [the world] from its dream of itself.” The chapter argues that by mobilizing Bachelard and Benjamin for scholarship at the intersection of law and the humanities, old and new materialisms can be brought into a satisfying conjunction that simultaneously offers a poetics for spatial justice and lays a foundation for a materialist legal historiography for the twenty-first century.

The Human Condition

AbstractGaston Bachelard's thought remains a continual source of inspiration for a phenomenological psychology that takes human habitation as a fundamental given and as an abiding mystery of the human condition. the following essay explores the ideas Bachelard developed in the course of his study of poetry. It examines in particular his vision of imagination as a unique passage way by means of which we reach an inhabitable, intersubjective and fully human world. Within that perspective, our lives are constantly renewed by the appearance of a revealing image or a telling metaphor. Each time that we are awakened by this appeal we commemorate the birth and rebirth of a human world.

 A imaginação poética roseana garante e norteia os fluxos de uma arte literária geradora de um universo consubstanciado pela figura animal. Rosa deposita em sua tessitura, de forma sui generis, o intenso lirismo da palavra essencial para descrever delicadamente sua animália, porquanto o brilho celestial de seu bestiário reverbera de sua poesia primeira. Partindo da concepção filosófica de Gaston Bachelard acerca da essência poética de Lautréamont, lançamos um olhar sobre alguns possíveis aspectos que seriam destacados pelo filósofo francês no interior da ação poética roseana, enfatizando a relevância e as peculiaridades da figura animal estabelecida em meio à composição literária de Guimarães Rosa. Bachelard reflete acerca da excepcional poeticidade que Isidore Ducasse extrai da figura animal em Les Chants de Maldoror, no qual o poeta alcança o âmago do vigor poético por meio de impulsos primitivos gerados a partir da extrema agressividade e violência de seu bestiário, engendrando assim uma espécie de transmutação poética fundada em uma realidade psicológica. A essência da poesia ducasseana evoca um dizer genuíno, inesperado e arrebatador fundamentado na primitividade surrealista de experiências do pensamento. Nesse devir, Lautréamont recolhe seu dito poético do súbito das imagens, visto que as palavras já se esvaziaram de uma fala original, e perderam-se em sua transparência. O poeta dispensa a linguagem solapada pela falação para pronunciar seu discurso poético por meio de suas imagens, instaurando assim uma múltipla enunciação.

Este artigo pretende apresentar como a noção de “intimidade”, apresentada pelo filósofo alemão Peter Sloterdijk em sua obra “Esferas I – Bolhas”, foi desenvolvida em diálogo com o mesmo tema abordado em “A poética do espaço” de Gaston Bachelard. Desenvolveremos, inicialmente, como a intimidade é compreendida por cada autor e sua articulação com as concepções de “exterioridade” e “espaço”. Posteriormente, pela perspectiva do escritor Juliano Pessanha, assinalaremos a crítica à abordagem de Martin Heidegger que converge ambos autores e mostraremos consonâncias e divergências entre os mesmos. Por último, poderemos compreender como o “pensamento esferológico” do filósofo alemão guarda raízes nas reflexões sobre a imaginação e poesia do pensador francês.

Estudo teórico-reflexivo, instigado pela epistemologia de Gaston Bachelard e pelo projeto "Mil e Uma Maneiras de Cuidar na Enfermagem" de Maria José Coelho. Teve como objetivo delinear novas maneiras de cuidar na enfermagem dialítica, tecendo um sistema de cuidados dispensados ao paciente renal crônico. Foram descritos sete cuidados de enfermagem que permeiam cuidar de pessoas em tratamento dialítico: acolhimento, vínculo, técnicas especializadas, estímulo ao autocuidado, avaliação do tratamento, enfrentamento da rotina desestimulante e resgate à cidadania. Emergiu o cuidar permanência, compreendido como uma relação articulada e complementar entre o saber científico presente no cuidado de enfermagem e a valorização da essência do outro, como ser complexo em sua integralidade.
