Nature-Life Fusion Through Deleuzian-Guattarian Posthumanism
This article aims to analyze a theoretical reconceptualization of the materiality of nature. To this end, this study raises two political problems of nature, specifically as a concept. The first problem is the modern concept of nature, which depicts its materiality as a mechanical concept, resulting in the domination of nature. On the other hand, the second problem is the postmodern concept of nature, which presents its materiality as a function of discourse. In this respect, there is no nature; it is political. This article presents an antidote derived from a critical posthumanist perspective based on the works of Deleuze and Guattari, Capitalism and Schizophrenia. In this context, I advocate a new materiality of nature that constitutes an ethics of immanence and sees nature as a process of life production from the posthumanist approach. Nature is a plane where all life emerges, representing a dynamic production process.
