ok maybe i'm wrong. that's the impression i was given my editors--that they are sick of deleuze manuscripts. but maybe that's only some editors.

anyway, in vogue or out of vogue, he's useless to me.
(or a bit more srsly - i think the trend of applying deleuze and guattari here there and everywhere is slowing down [if not at all dying], but there's a lot more in the way of deleuze-as-philosopher stuff emerging now.)

lol what's happened to ilx lately.
some douche in my class kept whipping out deleuzian phrases like deterritorialization and lines of flight in class the other day, and looking really smug about it. but he was using them wrong. like in this really mundane way where it was like he had just heard someone saying them and decided to use them in sentences without having any idea that they actually meant anything. this guy is such a pain in the ass.

a thousand plateaus is so much fun. i've read rhizomes so many times this last year that it just reads like a regular essay to me now. its weird, they're ideas are kindof easy to understand but not necessarily to explain, bodies w/o organs is such a visceral image, the egg as an illustration. desiring machines, war machines. becoming-woman. so great, so much fun.

haven't read anti-oedipus since college, this thread makes me want to revisit but I've been reading the same pulp sci-fi novel for the past 2 months so I don't think it's gonna happen. maybe I'll just listen to this

If modern material comforts are the measure of success, then Gere, a 59-year-old former yak-and-sheep herder in China’s western Qinghai Province, should be a happy man.In the two years since the Chinese government forced him to sell his livestock and move into a squat concrete house here on the windswept Tibetan plateau, Gere and his family have acquired a washing machine, a refrigerator and a color television that beams Mandarin-language historical dramas into their whitewashed living room.But Gere, who like many Tibetans uses a single name, is filled with regret. Like hundreds of thousands of pastoralists across China who have been relocated into bleak townships over the past decade, he is jobless, deeply indebted and dependent on shrinking government subsidies to buy the milk, meat and wool he once obtained from his flocks.“We don’t go hungry, but we have lost the life that our ancestors practiced for thousands of years,” he said.In what amounts to one of the most ambitious attempts made at social engineering, the Chinese government is in the final stages of a 15-year-old campaign to settle the millions of pastoralists who once roamed China’s vast borderlands. By year’s end, Beijing claims it will have moved the remaining 1.2 million herders into towns that provide access to schools, electricity and modern health care.Official news accounts of the relocation rapturously depict former nomads as grateful for salvation from primitive lives. “In merely five years, herders in Qinghai who for generations roved in search of water and grass, have transcended a millennium’s distance and taken enormous strides toward modernity,” said a front-page article in the state-run Farmers’ Daily. “The Communist Party’s preferential policies for herders are like the warm spring breeze that brightens the grassland in green and reaches into the herders’ hearts.”But the policies, based partly on the official view that grazing harms grasslands, are increasingly contentious. Ecologists in China and abroad say the scientific foundations of nomad resettlement are dubious. Anthropologists who have studied government-built relocation centers have documented chronic unemployment, alcoholism and the fraying of millenniums-old traditions.

About 1/3rd of the way through Anti-Oedipus at the moment - I suspect that I'll end up disagreeing with a lot of it*, but if nothing else it's as wild a ride as I was hoping for and just great for clearing mental bad air.
*(At least in terms of their positive thesis about how desire works - in terms of the more critical/polemical side of things, dunking on psychoanalysis is obv always fun but no longer feels like a v urgent project).

Keep resisting the urge to skip through to the parts where they discuss deterritorialization & reterritorialization in detail, because those are the concepts that to me seem the most relevant to geopolitical events of the last few years - but at this stage I'm committed to doing the whole thing properly.

There is a resemblance, yes. But Julien, son of Gilles, is born in 1960, making him 58. This Julien graduated from his engineering school in 2002. So a relation perhaps but not Deleuze's son. Sorry to spoil the fun.— Antoine Bousquet (@AJBousquet) November 23, 2018
