Ultraconformity (3NT)

D+G's schizophrenic celebrates the desiring-machine, becoming a miraculating -or celibate - machine as opposed to a paranoic - machine. They write, "The schizophrenic deliberately seeks out the very limit of capitalism: he is its inherent tendency brought to fulfillment, its surplus product, its proletariat, and its exterminating angel" (35). Is this ultraconformity as a means of subversion (3NT) or merely the proper use of capitalism?

Mapping Competence

D+G (A Thousand Plateus) : "The map has to do with performance, whereas the tracing always involves an alleged 'competence'...schizoanalysis rejects any idea of pretraced destiny, whatever name is given to it, divine, anagogic, historical, economic, structural, hereditary, or syntagmatic" (12-13)
