Resumo: In the preset work, we discuss Dmitry Shostakovich’s Seventh Symphony, henceforth called the Seventh. The Seventh is and was object of political interpretations throughout all of its existence, but our research question is that all of past interpretations fail to acknowledge politics as having both a micro and macropolitical dimensions, the later having to do with party, identity and representational politics and the former with subjectivity and becomings. Historically, all of the Seventh’s reception was marked by identity and representation (“invasion theme”, “proregime”, “anti-communist”, revisionism and anti-revisionism), but the present dissertation is the first work which raises the hypothesis of the Seventh having a revolutionary power (potentia) in the micropolitical field. Since we are dealing with a political question within a musical work, our corpus is a combination of the musical text, Shostakovich’s repercussion in musicology post-1979 (the so-called Shostakovich Wars) and a theoretical framework composed by Suely Rolnik’s micropolitical theory (which unfolds in psychoanalisys, philosophy and semiotics) and Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophy. In A Thousand Plateaus, Deleuze and Guattari deal with two aspects of the State-form: the war machine and the State apparatus. These two aspects work as two poles: in the State apparatus pole there are the identity politics, the representation systems (both political and semiotic), and the signifying semiotics or semiologies. In the war machine pole there are the a-signifying semiotics, the micropolitics, the non-hegemonic ways of life (genres de vie) or non-hegemonic modes of existence, the revolutionary-becomings and all there is that is fresh and has not yet been captured by the State apparatus. By going through this theoretical path, always in dialogue with Shostakovich’s life and work, we arrive at the conclusion that, both in the aesthetic and musical qualities of the Seventh and in its micropolitical dimension, as well as the composer’s mode of being, we find the behavior of a war machine
