The concept of implication and the institutionalist intervention-research

This paper analyses the concept of implication in the institutionalist intervention-research. In order to do so, it deepens this concept under Rene Lourau' theory of Institutional Analysis and that of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Gattari of Schizoanalysis, searching for disjunctions and interfaces between them. These approaches are aimed at questioning the power relations and the development of collective production, but start from different assumptions over institution and intervention. If, on one hand, Institutional Analysis, conceptually based on the Hegelian dialectic, uses analyzers devices to bring up the instituent, on the other hand, Schizoanalysis is based on the immanence to release the invention through unique practices, fostering micropolitics. Implication is an intercessor concept that introduces a destabilization of those approaches whose effects attempt to recover the collectiveness and the uniqueness of the built relationships networks, either from the contradictions between the instituted and the instituent or from agencements and exteriority.
