Fifty years after the first publication of The Anti-Oedipus, the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari continues to be mobilized to face the contemporary challenges arising from the unsustainability of the capitalist economic-political system. The authors form a new paradigm of thought in the 20th century, based on what can be called the philosophy of difference, marking a radical break with the philosophical tradition centered on universal ideals that favor identity, representation and metaphysics. The thought of difference proposes an understanding of real production not on the basis of a general and universal foundation, but on the basis of its immanent multiplicity, that is, as a singular and diverse production of life in itself. In this sense, a homogeneous unity is rejected - hence the formula n-1, where "one is part of the multiple, and is always subtracted from it" - and the power of singularities to create new possibilities is emphasized.

Difference is thus presented as a tool of resistance to the capitalist mode of production. Multiplicity and difference destabilize control structures by challenging pre-established categories, empowering the creation of new ways of being and relating. Deleuze and Guattari, alongside thinkers such as Derrida, Foucault, Negri, Malabou, Irigaray, Bergson, Spinoza and Nietzsche, not only build a powerful critique of the status quo, but also feed revolutionary lines of social and political transformation. In this edition of (Des)troços, we invite (in)submissions that explore, from the point of view of difference, the possibilities of displacements, ruptures and deviations in the face of the constant attempts to capture and consume our lives by capital.

We would also like to point out that, in addition to this thematic dossier, the journal (Des)troços welcomes general submissions that are linked to radical thinking and the editorial line of the journal, as described at: https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/revistadestrocos/about. Contributions must be sent via the OJS system, respecting the submission rules for texts (https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/revistadestrocos/about/submissions) by March 31, 2024. The degree requirements do not apply to authors of images, whose contributions will only be assessed by the editorial board. Contributions in the form of texts will be evaluated by the editorial committee and the double blind review system. Once approved, texts and images will be published in the eighth issue of the journal, scheduled for release in the first half of 2024.
