Ritmi ed estasi del caos. Percorsi per un popolo a-venire all'interno del campo di individuazione della canzone
Abstract
The aim of this article is to ‘re-read’ the main concepts about the music crafted by Deleuze and Guattari within the context of A thousand plateaus, and make them communicate with the work of one of the most important indie-rock bands of the last years, that means, The National. On one side, we want to rethink the ontology of music that Deleuze and Guattari thought (which is generally taken into consideration only in relation to electronic or avantgarde music) and assemble it with sound materials that come from the indie-rock scene; on the other, this research aim is to reveal the undiscovered revolutionary potentialies hidden within a certain kind of music, in a way that can allow us to look from a different perspective the relation between music and politics.
