Abstract

In the face of modernity and its consequences for Design, Arturo Escobar has proposed an analysis that unveils conceptual problems that have produced an atomization of experience. The author was not satisfied by doing critical work, however, and has made a proposal to reweave that which is divided and to reestablish social and ecological equilibrium. There is a problem, however, at the core of the concepts that are fundamental to his proposal. The way he builds the idea of autonomy is based on the concept of autopoiesis, which makes the establishment of the interweaving between heterogeneous communities very difficult. This is not trivial, considering the problem we are facing: the survival of life on Earth. This text seeks to address a conceptual alternative that allows for an authentic ontological relationality, with the introduction of affectivity, as presented by Suely Rolnik’s and Simondon’s conceptual frame. This proposal will also explain the process of conformation, self-maintenance and especially, the transformation path of organisms as well as communities: the process of individuation.

Keywords:

Affectivity, autonomy, Design, perception, relationally, transindividuation.
