This essay was hardly planned, but I reckon it’s doable, considering I’ve covered this in previous essays, at least twice or so, albeit those times it’s been more of a general examination of what’s at stake. Anyway, to get to the point, I came across a news story about the planned changes for the social […]

Born off a Horse
What I have in store this time is not like in the previous essay which included some polemical elements. This is probably rather drab in comparison to it. Of course, what’s interesting and what’s not, what’s polemical and what’s not, etc. depends on people. I find this quite fascinating, but I also reckon that for […]

Me, Myself and I
I have brought this up a number of times already, but if my memory serves me, I haven’t covered ‘Postscript on the Societies of Control’ by Gilles Deleuze in detail. I’m not sure who translated this as it’s not evident from the article itself. I may know who it is, but I can’t remember who […]

Of Danger and Zones
I decided to split my close reading of ‘1933: Micropolitics and Segmentarity’, one of the plateaus in ‘A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia’ by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, only to leave out about the final seven pages or so. If you didn’t read the two essays, one more on all things fascism and the […]

I intended to focus on a specific plateau in this essay, but getting somewhere past halfway through the plateau, I opted to split the text instead. For this essay, I’ll also weave in what I’ve written for another essay on the first installment of ‘Capitalism and Schizophrenia’, ‘L’Anti-Oedipe’ or ‘Anti-Oedipus’. This is because there is […]

Say Swiss Cheese!
I’ve been a bit busy lately, now working as a researcher in a project. It’s not exactly what I do in my own research, but when it comes theory, it’s still within my reach and pushes me to use it in different context, as well as to expand my reading into areas where others tend […]

Finally! Finally! Finally! Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Why all the excitement? Well, that should be obvious, but to answer that question that I made you pose, I’m pumped because this essay is on the real deal, a plateau pertaining to faciality, as well as to landscapity. You could say that I’ve endured digging […]

All Hail the Emperor!
As I covered, or, well, rather attempted to cover the plateau on the strata, titled ‘10,000 B.C: The Geology of Morals (Who Does the Earth Think It Is?)’, I kept running into what Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari call a regime of signs in ‘A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia’ by Deleuze and Guattari. They […]

Would you love a lobsterman?
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 […]

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 […]
