What is an Assemblage?

What is an Assemblage?" This diagram was created for Critical Visualization (Bloomsbury, 2022) by @davila_patricio and @peter.hall.

It attempts to describe assemblage theory as described in A Thousand Plateaus (Delueze and Guattari) and adopted by the creators of Actor Network Theory. The bottom panel describes how the famous "hockey stick graph" used by Al Gore to bring attention to climate change in the early 2000's was produced by a data assemblage created by many different actors and and using a variety of data sets.

FREEDOM QUOTE 3 OF 3 Tuesday, July 26, 2022

"A concept is a brick. It can be used to build a courthouse of reason. Or it can be thrown through the window." - Gilles Deleuze, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia

Two women. “The master of metamorphoses is opposed to the invariant hieratic king. … We witness a transformation of substances and a dissolution of forms, a passage to the limit or flight from contours in favor of fluid forces, flows, air, light, and matter, such that a body or a word does not end at a precise point.” (Gilles Deleuze) Device: Leica M246, Summilux 50mm #gillesdeleuze #athousandplateaus #leica #leicacamera #leicaphoto #leicaphotography #leica_camera #leica_world #leica_photos #leicagram #leicalens #leicas #bnw_universe #insta_bw #bwmasters #excellent_bnw #igblacknwhite #bnw_planet #bnw_magazine #bnw_globe #bnw_of_our_world #top_bnw #bw_photooftheday #bw_crew #thisislowell #lowell #lowellma (at Lowell, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ciz0Fkluoyb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Aesthetic of Post-structuralism

“It is probably impossible to give empirical contents transcendental value, or to displace them in the direction of a constituent subjectivity, without giving rise, at least silently, to an anthropology--that is, a mode of thought in which the rightful limitations of acquired knowledge (and consequently of all empirical knowledge) are at the same time the concrete forms of existence, precisely as they are given in that same empirical knowledge.” Foucault said it, Deleuze and Guattari wrote it out.

1730 paragraph 17

Panel 1

Moby-Dick in its entirety is one of the greatest masterpieces of becoming; Captain Ahab has an irresistible becoming-whale, but one that bypasses the pack or the school, operating directly through a monstrous alliance with the Unique, the Leviathan, Moby-Dick. There is always a pact with a demon; the demon sometimes appears as the head of the band, sometimes as the Loner on the sidelines of the pack, and sometimes as the higher Power (Puissance) of the band.

Panel 2 and 3

Let us clarify that: every animal swept up in its pack or multiplicity has its anomalous. It has been noted that the origin of the word anomal ("anomalous"), an adjective that has fallen into disuse in French, is very different from that of anormal ("abnormal"): a-normal, a Latin adjective lacking a noun in French, refers to that which is outside rules or goes against the rules, whereas an-omalie, a Greek noun that has lost its adjective, designates the unequal, the coarse, the rough, the cutting edge of deterritorialization.13 The abnormal can be defined only in terms of characteristics, specific or generic; but the anomalous is a position or set of positions in relation to a multiplicity. Sorcerers therefore use the old adjective "anomalous" to situate the positions of the exceptional individual in the pack.

I admire D&G’s commitment to only necessary intellectual innovation; I even aspire to it.

They don’t so much refuse interesting paren(thesis) and the cute ironies of langu/age out of some weird Poland-under-occupation type of academic austerity. They, instead, refute the fumbling of concepts.

This means crucifying a word with the nails of quotation marks does not actually get to count as either a revolutionary action nor rigorous intellectual activity. Sorry, not sorry.

Right when you’re about to Human Centipede a string of words remember: a new word does not a new concept make.

Innovation for novelty’s sake is the work of marketing campaigns. Ad Agencies are creators of counterfeit concepts. And unfortunately we’ve been conditioned into seeing what’s just commotion as a genuine movement.

If your or your favorite theorists’ neologism doesn’t serve as the point of a much larger conceptual spear it’s just commotion. At least Derrida tried to ground deconstruction in Heidegger’s *destruktion*. At least Lyotard developed an conceptual apparatus behind his word post-modernism.

I guess all I’m saying is overriding spellcheck is not radical praxis.

Either do the heavy work of conceptual analysis or don’t -I need a prey species after all.

I. A child in the dark, gripped with fear, comforts himself by singing under his breath. He walks and halts to his song. Lost, he takes shelter, or orients himself with his little song as best he can. The song is like a rough sketch of a calming and stabilizing, calm and stable, center in the heart of chaos. Perhaps the child skips as he sings, hastens or slows his pace. But the song itself is already a skip: it jumps from chaos to the beginnings of order in chaos and is in danger of breaking apart at any moment. [...] 

II. Now we are at home. But home does not preexist: it was necessary to draw a circle around that uncertain and fragile center, to organize a limited space. [...] But now the components are used for organizing a space, not for the momentary determination of a center. The forces of chaos are kept outside as much as possible, and the interior space protects the germinal forces of a task to fulfill or a deed to do. [...] For sublime deeds like the foundation of a city or the fabrication of a golem, one draws a circle, or better yet walks in a circle as in a children's dance, combining rhythmic vowels and consonants that correspond to the interior forces of creation as to the differentiated parts of an organism. A mistake in speed, rhythm, or harmony would be catastrophic because it would bring back the forces of chaos, destroying both creator and creation.

III. Finally, one opens the circle a crack, opens it all the way, lets some one in, calls someone, or else goes out oneself, launches forth. One opens the circle not on the side where the old forces of chaos press against it but in another region, one created by the circle itself. As though the circle tended on its own to open onto a future, as a function of the working forces it shelters. This time, it is in order to join with the forces of the future, cosmic forces. One launches forth, hazards an improvisation. But to improvise is to join with the World, or meld with it. One ventures from home on the thread of a tune. Along sonorous, gestural, motor lines that mark the customary path of a child and graft themselves onto or begin to bud "lines of drift" with different loops, knots, speeds, movements, gestures, and sonorities.

These are not three successive moments in an evolution. They are three aspects of a single thing, the Refrain (ritournelle).
