Episode notes
People Are Made Of Lines
- Deleuze and Guattari frame subjectivity as composed of lines (molar, molecular, flight) inscribed on a Body Without Organs.
- Schizoanalysis maps and composes these lines rather than analyzing subjects, structures, or signifiers.
A Transitional Plateau
- Plateau nine functions as a transitional chapter introducing lines and segmentarity before deeper analysis in the next plateau.
- The hosts recommend reading the three novellas alongside the plateau to see theory dramatized.
Read Novellas Before And After
- Read the three novellas before and after the plateau to avoid overdetermining your reading with Deleuzian theory.
- Revisit the texts after the plateau to see how the philosophic concepts dramatize in narrative.
