Baroque, Deleuze, Leibniz, Gracián, FoldAbstract
In this article, I will try to elucidate the characterization of the European Baroque that Deleuze proposes in The Fold to isolate the idiosyncratic traits it shares with the Hispanic Baroque, defining as they are of an ethos directed towards an alternative Modernity to the one that finally prevailed. I will, thus, transit from Deleuze’s interpretation of the Leibnizian philosophy of the subject as a «mannerism» to the Gratian characterization of the hero and the world, to show that in both approaches there is an ontology of power that belies the essentialism of the subject characteristic of Cartesian Modernity in favor of an internal or immanent evaluation of the subject shaped in times of crisis and with a markedly Stoic inspiration.
