Ariadnas: Metamorphoses, by Rosi Braidotti, as the key to becoming-animal and radical immanence in feminist art

Abstract

In order to offer a reading path of the feminist-deleuzian thought, this article discusses the concept of cartography proposed by Rosi Braidotti, a philosopher of difference and posthumanism, regarding the reception and reworking of radical immanence, as well as the sexual difference in current philosophy. In addition, a simile of said reception is proposed in art theory and studies, particularly in Mexico. Through Metamorphoses. Towards a materialist theory of becoming, and the key concepts such as becoming-woman and  becoming-insect, a relationship is established with visual feminisms located in the global south. The dialogue between both receptions, the philosophical and the artistic, implies an approach to the problematization and to the understanding of the capital-life conflict, in addition to the possible contributions of feminist production, and even making clear how it continues in current feminist theory a materialist line, with deep classical roots, of an ontology of the body.
