Strata/ historical formulations have unique combinations of what is seen and what is said; the visible & the articulable. k'ledge defined...about 18 hours agofrom web
RT @evilitlsquirrel (RT of sorts) the archive is audiovisual. This is the theme, the underlying melody: Saying/ Seeing. Saying. Seeing.about 18 hours agofrom web
Warning (p.50): danger of anglo-american, analytical philosophy. Exactly, exactly. We only allow Wittgenstein in *our* little club.about 18 hours agofrom web

ok, D/ F say T is social b4 it is technical, human b4 material. Hedi: nature of T is nothing technical at all. Are they converging? still c2about 18 hours agofrom web
ok, deleuze you ass, at some point the concrete has to give relief to the abstract. Even Heidegger talks about trees, ears, flowers and loveabout 18 hours agofrom web
Ok - if univocity is THE condition of Being, I need to know MUCH more. Cos that's surely MY, ie HEIDI's territory. Yikes, I feel inadequate.

4. papo essence. T = p HAS essence, p IS attribute, qualification vs lack; F = p is operational, a relation, power relations criss cross.8:18 AM Apr 16thfrom web

ok Evil Little Squirrel, here are thoughts & notes on chapter 1 of Gilles Deleuze: "Foucault". [bear in mind that neither are my forte, ok]9:33 PM Apr 15thfrom web
GQoD: Does Deleuze get away with the equation TWO=MULTIPLE insofar as TWO is necessary DESCRIPTION of MULTIPLE & insofar as TWO=Always+1?about 3 hours agofrom web
Thus Dualism is merely an effect, an "attempt to distribute multiplicity that cannot be contained in a single form".about 3 hours agofrom web
Diagram is ”a multiplicity of diffusion which no longer splits into two and is free from any dualizable form”...about 3 hours agofrom web
Deleuze's method is a TRIANGULATION: E.G. Statements & Visibilities open up to a Third Dimension: Diagram.about 3 hours agofrom web
GOoD: Deleuze, as usual, attempts to argue that his Disjunctive Symmetry is nothing but a multiplicity, in Foucault as elsewhere...about 3 hours agofrom web
By folding the past/outside into the present/strata we can think the relation of self to self = future/freedom.about 1 hour agofrom web
Social change = change in knowledge, power, subjectivity. Always variable. The CONDITIONS of these is what interests F. [and D].about 1 hour agofrom web
Not universal, always mutation: Historical problematization: What can I do? What do I know? What am I? = THOUGHTabout 1 hour agofrom web
The fissure between the two types of knowledge (V&S) is Outside=allows thought=makes the two sides communicate, lets Outside IN.about 1 hour agofrom web
Folding is itself also a Memory = the real name of the relation to oneself, affect of self on self. Time as subject is called Memory.about 1 hour agofrom web
Subjectivity=4way fold (variable): Material; power; knowledge; outside (expectation of immortality, eternity, salvation, freedom).about 1 hour agofrom web
Not independent: Self coded in knowledge & diagrammatized in power. BUT also always a relation to oneself which resists codes and powers.about 1 hour agofrom web
=not a projection of the inside but an interiorisation of the outside. Not reproduction of the Same but repetition of the Different.about 1 hour agofrom web
IF thought=outside, THEN unthought=inside of the outside: I do not encounter myself on the outside, I find the other in me.about 1 hour agofrom web
Formalized relations on strata (Knowledge), diagrammatic relations (Power), relation with Outside (Thought). What about inside/self/subject?about 1 hour agofrom web
Tweetdigest of Deleuze's Foucault. Ch5: Foldings, or the Inside of Thought (subjectivation)about 1 hour agofrom web
Note: Life = vital power that cannot be confined within species, environments or particular diagram.about 3 hours agofrom web
Forces=conditions of human. Thus liberation underpinned by force/life NOT law/human. Superman=liberating man from the human.about 3 hours agofrom web
Thus: always potential of resistance in each diagram – resistance is primary=forces not yet in diagram.about 3 hours agofrom web
Transformation not on the historical, stratified archive, but the composing diagram of forces: non-place of mutation, evolution.about 3 hours agofrom web
INTERESTING NOTE ON LITERATURE: Descriptions may be verbal but nonetheless different from statements.about 3 hours agofrom web
Diagram=Primary “thing” integrated in knowledge=produces truth (as a problem) insofar as it makes us see and speak. Power=Outside=Thought.
IF statements & visibilities external to each other, THEN the diagram is their necessary Outside: power is unknown, unseen, unheard.about 3 hours agofrom web
E.G. Statement-curve QWERTY/description-scene Q W E R T Y: different and external to eachother: both actualize the diagram.about 3 hours agofrom web
Diagram (relations of P) of forces is realized both in description-scenes and statement-curves in the archive (relations of K).about 3 hours agofrom web
Diagram=integrated & stabilized in historical strata=institutions: State, Family, Religion etc. But: There is no State, only state control.about 3 hours agofrom web
Knowledge inseparable from power: Both presuppose the diagram; complex of power and knowledge, of diagram and archive.about 3 hours agofrom web
P&K heterogeneous + mutual presupposition. But primacy of Power (cf. V&S)about 3 hours agofrom web
Knowledge=Relations b/w forms, segmentary. Power=Relations b/w forces, flexible: evade segmentary, stable forms of visible & sayable.about 3 hours agofrom web
Diagram=distribution of power to affect & power to be affected=mix of non-formalized functions & unformed matter=distribution of features.
Welcome back to Tweetdigest of Deleuze's Foucault. Ch 4: Strategies or the Non-Stratified: The Thought of the Outside (Power)
GQoD: Does Deleuze persuade us that predicating univocity on disjunction (Being=difference) is enough to escape binaries, dialectics?about 20 hours agofrom web
General Question on Deleuze (GQoD): Is his univocity of being (see D&R 35-37) not, despite his best efforts, simply a disjunctive dualism?about 20 hours agofrom web
GOoD: Deleuzes Disjunctive Symmetry is predicated on univocity [although this is where it gets iffy to me].about 20 hours agofrom web
GOoD: The masses' beloved pluralism of Deleuze is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS subject to the General Conditions of Disjunctive Symmetryabout 20 hours agofrom web
General Observations on Deleuze (GOoD): His thought is a beautiful DISJUNCTIVE SYMMETRY.about 20 hours agofrom web
To properly articulate non(relationship) sayable and visible we need third dimension – roll on Chapter 4...about 20 hours agofrom web
HOWEVER: Sayable is primary, although visible is irreducible. S=determining, V=determinable.about 20 hours agofrom web
B/w V&S = a “battle": are different, yet encroach on each other. They always cross the limit between them but this limit is imperative.about 20 hours agofrom web
GenCond2: V&S not hidden + not obvious. F's Hist. Principle: Behind the curtain there is nothing to see, important to describe the curtain.about 20 hours agofrom web
Gen Cond 1: V&S have no subject, not totality; exist in toto, a priori: Light-being & Language-being, as distribution of the visible/sayableabout 20 hours agofrom web
General conditions of statements & visibilities parallel, BUT they DO NOT resemble each other. **The audiovisual archive is disjunctive.**about 20 hours agofrom web
Variation in strata over time=History. F's archeology = audiovisual archive.about 20 hours agofrom web
Stratum=assemblage of visible and sayable=stack of thresholds (politics, ethics, science, aethetics etc)=knowledge.about 20 hours agofrom web

DA-DA-DAAAA! Is the diagram going to be able to escape its realized forms? Find out in the the next episode of FOUCAULT! Same time tomorrow!7:08 PM Apr 15thfrom TweetDeck
BUT: No diagram that does not also include free or unbound points – of creativity or change or resistance.7:07 PM Apr 15thfrom TweetDeck
Thus: statement & non-statement (the punishment & the prison)=co-adapted + Knowledge & power implicated: knowledge implies an act of power.7:07 PM Apr 15thfrom TweetDeck
Statement=discursive form of multiplicity. The visible=non-discursive form. Both are realizations of the diagram.7:07 PM Apr 15thfrom TweetDeck
Diagram=non-formed multiplicity, no distinction between form or content, discursive or non-discursive.7:06 PM Apr 15thfrom TweetDeck
Power=relation between points in multiplicity=Diagram= “a display of the relations between forces which constitute power”.7:06 PM Apr 15thfrom TweetDeck
Power cannot be identified with one institution: it is a technology traversing and prolonging institution; no privileged origin of power.7:06 PM Apr 15thfrom TweetDeck
