I was going to write it all as a single essay on the plateau titled ‘10,000 B.C: The Geology of Morals (Who Does the Earth Think It Is?)’, as contained in ‘A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia’ by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. However, this proved to be a gargantuan task despite my previous familiarity […]
A while ago I pointed out that I didn’t seem to be doing much, that’s because I got stuck on a plateau. Right, I keep returning to Deleuze and Guattari and this time I’m on a plateau titled ‘10,000 B.C: The Geology of Morals (Who Does the Earth Think It Is?)’, as contained in ‘A […]
Money, money, money. The haves and the have nots. You want it when you don’t have it. You want more of it when you have it. Or, well, so they say anyway. To be serious for a moment, we do like to measure things in money, what’s something worth. Even time is money. Everyone supposedly […]
I’ve written extensively on all things visual. Not all my texts deal with vision, but I’d wager most of them do. That has to do with the heavy focus on landscape. It sort of comes with the territory, like it or not. For many it’s probably unsurprising, so bringing it might be odd. I’ve commented […]
It’s been quite a while now, a couple of weeks or so. I haven’t abandoned this, no no, that’s not it. I think I got stuck on a plateau, going all over the place, the highways and the byways. I’ll get to it. Currently it’s a bit on the heavy side, but I’ll see to […]
I was looking up something else, how cities and landscapes are connected in Finland, but I ended up at Finlex Data Bank, going through various Acts and Decrees. I believe I was browsing the website of the National Bureau of Antiquities, a fancy title if you ask me, albeit less so in Finnish. The point […]
Back to Deleuze and Guattari and on to the final postulate. As in the previous three essays, I’ll be looking into the fourth chapter or plateau in ‘A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia’. In the previous postulate it was established that there are no universals or constants in language and that language is not a […]
Back to Deleuze and Guattari. Two more postulates to go, one after this. Like the last time, I’ll be looking at the fourth chapter or plateau in ‘A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia’. With regards to the previous postulate it was established that while content and expression are not opposed to one another on their […]
Returning to Deleuze and Guattari on language and linguistics, like the last time, I’ll be looking into the fourth chapter or plateau in ‘A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia’. The last time it was established that, for them, language is not simply informational and communicational. Instead, for them (75) language is highly functional and hardly […]
I haven’t really addressed how Deleuze and Guattari view language and linguistics, so I thought I’d give it a go. This time I’ll be looking into the fourth chapter or plateau in ‘A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia’. The relevant part of the book is titled ‘November 20, 1923 – Postulates of Linguistics’ and I’ll […]
