Abstract
In this article, I argue that Deleuze and Guattari's famous trope about "an earth and a people that are lacking" in the Geophilosophy chapter of What Is Philosophy? must be examined through a specific assemblage: the necessity for shame-as a powerful, non-psychological, and nonhuman affect-to enter philosophy itself both to resist stupidity and to include all the disfranchised of classical Reason. I then turn to Isabelle Stengers' work against stupidity to determine how this assemblage can help us give shape to new multispecies apparatuses in the face of the Anthropocene. As a conclusion, I show that, through such apparatuses, shame truly becomes a geophilosophical force.
期刊介绍:
Subjectivity is an international, transdisciplinary journal examining the social, cultural, historical and material processes, dynamics and structures of human experience. As topic, problem and resource, notions of subjectivity are relevant to many disciplines, including cultural studies, sociology, social theory, geography, anthropology and psychology. The journal brings together scholars from across the social sciences and the humanities, publishing high-quality theoretical and empirical papers that address the processes by which subjectivities are produced, explore subjectivity as a locus of social change, and examine how emerging subjectivities remake our social worlds.
