But then i encountered him relatively late in my reading life and maybe was not so 'shockeable' anymore. Needless to say he is not taught much or only reluctantly, at least here. His book on Francis Bacon is also great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33019812.post-32234899181121193182007-11-06T01:30:00.000+00:002007-11-06T01:30:00.000+00:00:) ciao! ?

Do you know we all Deleuzian readers have been through the same pains Some of us, like myself, with much less consciousness than you! Deleuze and Guattari are pretty hard, particularly if you read them in English, at least this is my experience. In my language, or in French, the poetic side, the displacement effect of the reading, takes control of the process. I abandon myself, without looking for meaning, without enquiring for consistency. Then I feel I have to go back to the English for the second reading, when I try to stop, to lock concepts into discourses, when I need ‘to cite, to quote’ Deleuze within a discourse of mine.Martahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998222104090583294noreply@blogger.com
