MPCAD - 1730: Becoming-Intense, Becoming-Animal...

[Michael Bailey]

every 7th topic sentence:

"I recall the fine film *Willard* (1972, Daniel Mann)."

"The method also applies to Man-child, man-woman relations, etc."

"We must distinguish three kinds of animals."

"The contradiction between the two themes, 'contagion through the
animal as pack,' and 'pact with the anomalous as exceptional being,'
is progressively fading."

"That's easy to say?"

"Memories of a Spinozist, II.  There is another aspect to Spinoza."

"We must avoid an oversimplified conciliation, as though there were on
the one hand, formed subject, of the thing or person type,
and on the other hand spatiotemporal coordinates of the haecceity type."

"Let us consider three major cases from nineteenth-century
German literature, Hoelderlin, Kleist, and Nietzsche."

"In a way, we must start at the end: all becomings are already molecular."

"The rites of transvestism or female impersonation in primitive societies
in which a man becomes a woman are not explainable by a social
organization that places the given relations in correspondence, or
by a psychic organization that makes the woman desire to become a man
just as the man desires to become a woman."

"Memories of the Secret.  The secret has a privileged, but quite
variable, relation to perception and the imperceptible."

"Let us try to say it another way: There is no becoming-man because
man is the molar entity par excellence, whereas becomings are molecular."

"Does the same thing, strictly the same thing, apply to painting?"

"Leroi-Gourhan established a distinction and correlation between two
poles, 'hand-tool' and 'face-language.'"

"Fernandez demonstrates the presence of becomings-woman,
becomings-child in vocal music."
