Outlook

"What we need to consider is not fundamentally organs without bodies, or the fragmented body; it is the body without organs, animated by various intensive movements that determine the nature and emplacement of the organs in question and make that body an organism, or even a system of strata of which the organism is only a part. It becomes apparent that the slowest of movements, or the last to occur or arrive, is not the least intense. And the fastest may already have converged with it, connected with it, in the disequilibrium of a nonsychronic development of strata that have different speeds and lack a sequence of stages but are nevertheless simultaneous. (...) These movements are movements of deterritorialization. They are what "make" the body an animal or human organism."
