62 Deleuze and Guattari stress the essential difference and “polyvocality” of human
history throughout their work. Ibid., 144. Jameson particularly appreciates this in:
Jameson, “Marxism and Dualism in Deleuze,” 404, 413.
63 The work of _i_ek, Patton, Welchman and Jameson cited above particularly criticize
Deleuze and Guattari’s relativism.

formations determine the use of language and tools in society. Deleuze and Guattari, A
Thousand Plateaus, 90. Similarly, Deleuze and Guattari’s deterritorialization is guilty of
materializing their entities into organic metaphors. But their counter to criticism of this
nature would be that reification is necessary to adequately conceive how their
assemblages act upon humanity through deterritorialization and reterritorialization, and
that this reification does not represent determinism.
