This thesis describes my gathering with a group of elderly in a project called Conversas & Memórias (Conversations & Memories), and the community experience generated there. The main objective was to examine how the apparatuses (dispositifs) used in the intervention helped to promote such experience. Starting from a field of problematization that disputes our possibilities of living together, I sought to answer the following questions: how does collective life overtakes and constitutes us? Which bets could we risk that might allow us to affirm the feasibility of building community experiences in today s world? Which practices of care for the self and care for the other can we find (or devise) in our culture? How can these practices result in experiences of community life? How can we live together? It was around these questions that I developed the investigation on two different fields, aiming at the construction, on the one hand, of theoretical-conceptual grounds, and, on the other, of a pragmatic-experimental plan. In the first part of this thesis, I introduce the concepts and intercessors underlying the ideas maintained here. I begin with the discussion of the subjectification process, in dialogue with the thought of Gilles Deleuze, Gilbert Simondon and Baruch Spinoza, and finish by presenting the bets of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt, Maurice Blanchot, Giorgio Agamben and Jean-Luc Nancy on a community-to-come. Then I pose my own bets, based on Michel Foucault's dialogue with ancient philosophy on practices of the self and the construction of a new ethos, designed by an aesthetics of existence. In another chapter, I outline the research method, starting from a discussion about cartography and the possibilities it offered for me to follow processes and inhabit the territory of the research; I also discuss the concept of apparatus (dispositif) and the effects produced by disentangling its lines; finally, I describe the material used in the analyses of the project experience. In the second part of the thesis, I venture into a pragmatic-experimental field, putting the above discussed concepts into motion and incorporating them into the discussion of the four apparatuses (dispositifs) investigated here. Regarding the first, the Round of Talk, I present the proposal and the effects, such as the ethical and political exercise, that such practice announces. As for the second apparatus (dispositif), the Agencies, I introduce the poems, songs, stories, tours that were used to triggers the conversation, and examine the dialogs and virtualities produced in them. Concerning the third, the Narrative Experience, I describe the process of publishing a book with stories of some of the project participants. In the fourth device, the Image Revealed, I describe the effects caused by the images published in a book of photographs. The final chapter recalls the original question - how to live together? - and offers some clues about the possibilities of building a new type of sociability today.
