Dourados: uma cartografia da escuta por uma geografia menor

Abstract

The cartography of listening draws its materials from the multiplicity of bodies in the process of differentiation. Machines engaged in machines: sound machines, listening, thoughts. A thought of the difference to unfold other geographies, minors. A result of this experimentation is the video-map. Since geography listens poorly, it is necessary to experiment with sound materials through the exercise of listening modes; listening modes to derive unseen images and unheard sounds. Knowledge of the differences. Reason that is thought intensively, by sensations. The thoughts occur in the singular relationship of each one, because the folds are multiple, and the folds are infinite. It is necessary to release the thought of the chains that imprison it to “the same”, to “the identical”. The listening carries many modes, which are different levels of listening. The nomadic listening is one that requires a nomadic attitude in the listening, that is, that listening is not limited to treating sounds like monosemic signs, before, it can be an opening to the new. Nomadic listening is not a listening methodology, nor a composition technique. It is a concept that concerns the mode of deterritorialization by listening. As philosophy, the nomadic listening manages creation of concepts; as science, it manages the creation of functions that give expression to a state of stuffs; and as art, the nomadic listening manages the creation of new blocks of sensation. The nomadic listening makes the listening a machine of war against the investments of “the same”, of the identity, of the apparatus of State, of the processes of neurotic subjectivation. Its battlefield is micropolitical, as it is an exercise of freedom understood as regulation of affections and as production of new territories. In the teaching of geography the use of the video-map is nothing more than a stimulus to the inventive and intensive listening and a means for the production of other spatial imaginations. Our study works as an escape line of the higher education of geography, a line of escape from the cartography of sky, of the science of representation; Dourados as a field of experimentation for a smaller geography, which serves life.
