description 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.

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. El presente texto se inscribe en la inquietud sobre el umbral entre la humanidad y la animalidad. Tras las discusiones sobre el lenguaje, la modulación de las emociones, la conciencia de la muerte y la propia razón, se identifica un resto que sigue siendo defendido por algunos como una característica exclusivamente humana: la música. Las reflexiones que aquí se presentan tienen su origen en la disociación entre reproducción/imitación y producción musical, a partir de una afirmación de D'Arezzo; se refuerzan en las provocaciones de Chabanon sobre el carácter no imitativo de la música y sus condiciones en los animales, los salvajes y los niños; se orientan hacia las ideas de Derrida, donde se destacan las distinciones entre bestialidad y soberanía y la crítica del singular genérico animal, y de Merleau-Ponty, con los conceptos de mundo percibido y Unwelt. O presente texto é tecido nas inquietações sobre o limiar entre humanidade e animalidade. Depois das discussões sobre a linguagem, a modulação das emoções, a consciência da morte e a própria razão, identifica-se um resto que continua a ser defendido por alguns como característica exclusivamente humana: a música. As reflexões aqui apresentadas: têm origem na dissociação entre reprodução/imitação e produção musical, a partir de uma assertiva de D’Arezzo; ganham reforço nas provocações de Chabanon sobre o caráter não-imitativo da música e suas condições nos animais, selvagens e crianças; encaminham-se para as ideias de Derrida, de onde são destacadas as distinções entre bestialidade e soberania e a crítica ao singular genérico animal, e de Merleau-Ponty, com os conceitos de mundo percebido e Unwelt.
