Chapter One<br />
1 Deleuze and Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus. Deterritorialization pervades several of<br />
Deleuze’s other books as well as its partner volume: Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and<br />
Schizophrenia.<br />
2 Deleuze and Guattari incorporate scholarship from varied fields, from literary work by<br />
Antonin Artaud to the psychiatrist R.D. Laing to the anthropology of Gregory Bateson.<br />
3 The primacy of Nietzsche in Deleuze lead Best and Kellner to identify Deleuze as a<br />
“Nietzschean-inspired post-Kantian” and Patton to identify an “anarcho-Nietzschean”<br />
philosophy. Steven Best and Douglas Kellner, Postmodern Theory: Critical<br />
Interrogations (London: MacMillan and Guilford Press, 1991), 80. Paul Patton,<br />
“Marxism and Beyond: Strategies of Reterritorialization,” in Marxism and the<br />
Interpretation of Culture eds. C. Nelson and L. Grossberg. (Basingstoke: Macmillan<br />
Education, 1988), 124.<br />
4 Yet it is important to remember that Guattari rejected many of the fundamental tenets of<br />
psychoanalysis. Pierre-Félix Guattari, The Guattari Reader ed. Gary Genosko (Oxford:<br />
Blackwell, 1996).<br />
5 Pearson especially thinks Deleuze rejects transcendence and successfully engages in<br />
interpretation through his empirical analyses. Keith Ansell Pearson, Deleuze and<br />
Philosophy: The Difference Engineer (London: Routledge, 1997), 4. Lambert, 153. This<br />
is the “critical” philosophy that Deleuze relates to an analytical interaction with everyday<br />
life.<br />
6 Sherry Turkle, Psychoanalytic Politics: Freud’s French Revolution (New York: Basic<br />
Books, 1978), 149. Deleuze, Difference and Repetition, 290.<br />
7 Deleuze and Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus, 216.<br />
8 The rhizome resembles the rhizomatic growth of a seedling where all are connected but<br />
not causally linked. Because of this, it is an “acentred, nonhierarchical, nonsignifying<br />
system” without a beginning or end, central direction or memory, and functioning<br />
through expansion, conquest, variation and capture. Ibid., 7, 11, 12, 21.<br />
9 Gilles Deleuze, The Logic of Sense (New York: Columbia University Press, 1990),<br />
100, 110-111. The author’s italics are retained.<br />
10 Deleuze and Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus, 15, 23, 381-384. Deleuze, Difference and<br />
Repetition, 285. John K. Noyes, “Nomadism, Nomadology, Postcolonialism: By Way of<br />
Introduction,” Interventions: International Journal of Postcolonial Studies 6, no. 2 (June<br />
2004): 159-168.<br />
