DIGRESSIONS ABOUT STYLE NOTION: CONTRIBUTIONS TO A NON-MODERN PERSPECTIVE OF THE SELF

Abstract

The present article intends to discuss the notion of style as a possibility to revise the notion of subject in a non-modern perspective. The inspiration that supported us came from the Actor-Network Theory (ANT), proposed by Bruno Latour and other authors. ANT’s starting points are the connections, the ties that articulate humans and non-humans, weaving and composing the world in which we live. The central issue in this work was to think about the self as a relational construction and to resort to the notion of style in order to develop this reflection. Three contemporary philosophers - Alfred North Whitehead, Etienne Souriau and Gilles Deleuze were essential references in the understanding of ANT and assisted us in discussing the concept of style. In the article we discuss how each of these authors addresses this theme and conclude by indicating the unfolding of such contributions in order to reflect on the self beyond interiority.
