Hulle wil dit so hê : ontologiese anargie en die rewolusie van die verbeelding

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT:This study comprises a philosophical investigation into the development of a non-representationalresistance against the State, with specific focus on the role of the imagination in both repression andthe struggle for freedom. Using Deleuze & Guattari's non-representasional ontology, the researcherargues that Deleuze and Guattari's ontological system can be described as an ontological anarchy,which supplies us with tactics of resistance that strongly deviates from traditional Representational orRevolutionary models of resistance. Building on a discussion of Situationism and Hakim Bey's T.A.Z,the argument is made that these non-representasional resistive tactics could 'open' the category of artup to a whole network of creative and life practices – a transformation that has the ability to free art aswell as the everyday. In stead of refecting back on a supposed 'background' Reality, this resistancerelies on the ontologically anarchic practice of reality production. The idea of the non-ordinary orpeak experience, assosiated with sorcery, plays a crucial role in this production process, and theargument is made for the use the of these experiences to create a lasting peak experience, ultimatelyconstituting a shared level of peak intensity between people that the researcher calls 'the revolution ofthe imagination'.Key words: ontology, anarchy, anarchism, the State, resistance, revolution, imagination, complexity,ontology of art, poststructuralism, Representation, non-representationality, peak experience, sorcery,the everyday, Situationism, psychogeography, geophilosopy, phenomenology.
