My introduction to Deleuzian social production, and machines.
[SAVE FOR LATER: Deleuze [1969] on Alice and Wonderland (in the ”First Series of Paradoxes of Pure Becoming,” in The Logic of Sense. Trans. by Mark Lester and Charles Stivales. Ed. by Constantin V. Boundas. New York: Columbia University Press. [First Published as Logique du sens. Paris: Les Editions de Minuit, 1969.]) Optional web resources for the above: Plato’s Cratylus (For Deleuze, above). What’s in a name? This is actually worth a read, especially the first 25 “sections” or so (each about 1/4-page long); you can skim the repetitive parts. ]
