The aim of the course is to introduce the relation between the gesture, painting, language and the territory. In this respect we will try to analyze mainly the texts of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, especially their anthropological remarks in Anti-Oedipus.
Other authors are Claude Lévi-Strauss, André Leroi-Gourhan and Jakob vo Uexküll. The stress will be mainly of the semiotic character of presented theories. 1.) André Leroi-Gourhan (Le Geste et la Parole) – gesture, parole and sign production 2.) Claude Lévi-Strauss – bricolage and its semiotic character 3.) Jakob von Uexküll about signs and territory 4.) The “Faceness” – Semiotics of the year Zero 5.) The conquering of America as an collision of two different regimes of signs 6.) Art and chaos
