Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari's "A Thousand Plateaus" Chapter 13: "Apparatus of Capture" (Part 1/2)

Curtis Allen, a PhD candidate focusing on Deleuze and Wittgenstein, delves into the intricate themes of Deleuze and Guattari’s work. He highlights the political significance of 7000 BC in shaping early governance structures. The discussion contrasts governance archetypes, the magician emperor vs. the juris priest, and examines how these roles reflect on state power and social justice. Allen reveals the complex interplay between the war machine and state dynamics, challenging traditional views of state sovereignty and organization.
