| Summary: | The present text is woven into the restlessness about the threshold between humanity and animality. After the discussions on language, the modulation of emotions, the consciousness of death, and reason itself, it identifies a remainder that continues to be defended by some as an exclusively human characteristic: music. The reflections presented here have their origin in the dissociation between reproduction/imitation and musical production, based on an assertion by D'Arezzo; they are reinforced by Chabanon's provocations about the non-imitative character of music and its conditions in animals, savages and children; they move towards the ideas of Derrida, where the distinctions between bestiality and sovereignty and the critique of the generic animal singular are highlighted, and of Merleau-Ponty, with the concepts of the perceived world and Unwelt. |
