This time I’ll taking a closer look at Félix Guattari’s ‘Schizoanalytic Cartographies’. Why? Well, if you are familiar with his takes on Louis Hjelmslev, alone and/or together with Gilles Deleuze, you are in for a treat. To be honest, it is a very difficult book.

I thought I’d do something short(er) this time, but, as you’ll quickly notice, that didn’t happen. I had gone through this text before and thought I’d be able to make a quick summary of it, highlighting what I like about it, while also providing some related commentary.

The article is not particularly long, only nine pages, as republished in ‘Figuring the Word: Essays on Books, Writing and Visual Poetics’. The article in question is Johanna Drucker’s plainly titled ‘Language in the Landscape’. In this essay I’ll be […]
I’ve been writing long essays on Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. It has been quite the effort in thinking and even more so putting it all into words in a way that would help me and others understand what landscape is and what it does. I could just rely on what others […]
