Plateau # Deleuze & Guattari Meet Lakoff in an Airport...
Definitely learning Deleuze & Guattari strange language, I can finally read them at speeds approaching my normal quickness. Yes this is intoxicating stuff. Is it a recreational or medical drug though? Or maybe just food?
Wonder if D&G ever crossed paths with Mr. George Lakoff. The would seem to turn in quite separate academic circles, but perhaps on the airport tarmac they might meet for a second. And yes there are traces of Lakoff's Moral Politics in A Thousand Plateaus:
They have special relation to families, because they link the family model to the State model at both ends and regard themselves as "great families"...
Of course D&G are so dense you could probably find traces of anything in their work. Its sort of like the bible, whatever you want is in there...
