Resumo
This dissertation proposes the concept of uterine frequency as an aesthetic and political trigger to reflect on the relationship between the body and planet Earth, based on its human, non human, living and dead inhabitants. The notion is developed from a dialog with James Hillman’s post-Jungian psychology, especially his ideas about image and soul, and with the concept of Body-without-Organs, developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. The discussion therefore revolves around the triggers of the feminine, the body, mediumship and death. Uterine frequency is conceived as a marker of the feminine in science, in interlocution with eco-feminist thinkers such as Donna Haraway, Vinciane Despret, Isabelle Stengers, Ursula K. Le Guin and Maria Puig de la Bellacasa. Their thoughts contribute to stressing the narratives of the Anthropocene and imagining other ways of relating to Gaia. Through cartographies and intuitive conversations between the living and the dead, the uterine frequency is performed as an invitation to reflect on our common origin: we all come from a womb, just as we are sons and daughters of the Earth. With Haraway, the proposal of thinking-with unfolds into feeling with. Through her tentacular thinking and the creation of imbroglios, uterine frequency is affirmed as an eco-feminist claim. Another imbroglio created concerns the challenge to the duality between life and death that the uterus manifests, being a space of cyclicity and decomposition, a kind of compost bin, as suggested by Haraway, which seems to allow us to think about mediumship and the relationship with the dead. Also with Silvia Federici, traditions of historically marginalized female knowledge are evoked and, in many cases, violently silenced for challenging the patriarchal linearity that separates life and death. Summoning conversations with non-human beings and with the dead appears, then, as a possible detour, a recurring practice among women and experienced by the interlocutors of this research. These are women with whom the researcher has trained as a circle facilitator, as well as participants in Curanderia, a circle she leads. Finally, uterine frequency emerges as a bet on care in the face of the risks of capture by the colonial-capitalist system. It dialogues with the knowledge of the body, as proposed by Suely Rolnik, with deviations from the sorcery of this system, as suggested by Isabelle Stengers and Philippe Pignarre, and as forms of resistance and re- enchantment of existence
