RUTH:

You said that when i mentioned "expereince of
multiplicity as a universal measure of Deleuzianism",
you "wanted to raise the issue of which kind of
multiplicity" i ment. I certainly can "draw out the
partial and creative interpretative limits" of my
argument much far away from presume my lexical
habilities about Dlzs concepts.

good-but its not a wrestling match ( far too competetive)

You "would like to
hear" my "supporting argument" (that is like literaly
imposible,

i take it you are saying either a) that you don't have an argument-or b) you
do have an argument but it is not to be received as an argument but a piece
of emotion in the raw state?

but i know you can recreate the sound of my
words as i say to you that my support it is not
mererly argumental).

you know wrong- i can create (my) sounds for your words if they resonate
enough- i can not recreate the sound of your words.

I do have the belief of an
emotional state that concerns to that distinction
between Deleuzian and Deleuzianist, and i want to risk
my "non-competetive assertions astray in the thickets
of academic debate" with you (or underneath your
academic vigilance), on the matter that i "seem to be
saying that there is an objective expereince of
Deleuze to be had, instead of the subjective illusion
of objective knowledge".

ok-can't argue with belief i suppose ( which is why, i guess, that D and G
exclude theological figures from philosphy as having closed philsophical
thinking down in advance)

YES. Following Klossowski
(N&CV), Nietzsche wanted to iniciate his friends,
after the Sils-Maria vertigo, to the doctrine of the
eternal recurrence. As you can recall: Klossowski
remarks thats a word significates an emotion, but it
is not identical as the experiencie of that emotion,
and that is that a significated emotion (a
designation)is weaker than the non significated
emotion (a designated emotion). That leads that every
time the comunicative designment exchanges words with
the others there is a displacement between experiencie
and expresion. This displacement represents a
reflection for an emotional genesis of thinking.

ok, i understand this ARGUMENT about emotional displacement and the
impossibility of enunctiation i.e 'what is it that the phantasm really wants
to say' ( N and CV) but Klossoski, also makes quite clear that the
'objective' conditions of ER as a selective test do not have an objective
outcome-i.e the eternal return of the phantasm of the I is characterised by
the eternal return of 'subjective' disguises and displacements. further, K
compares the lived expereince of ER, the temporal fracturing of the causal
supports of the agent, as unwittingly unleashing the buddhist 'concept' of
Nirvana, ( square quoutes to indicate the futility of trying to decribe
Nirvana under a conceptual description) within the west. i understand the
distinction you are trying to make but, again, say it is untenable as trying
to say what satori is. i.e anyone who had lived the expereince of ER would
not be so foolsih as to try and narrate it within conventional logical
oppositions. it would be tantamount to saying I AM buddha

Well Ruth, i want you to suppose that you have a huge
non rational emotional experiencie,

i do expereince some repulsion at being labelled a 'professional academic'
so that you can make your argument.

just like the
implication of a phenomenological approach to madnees,
does not matter which kind,

i think it matters a great deal which kind and i find it hard to reduce D
and G to phenomenological readings.

just like a surrendering
against the centripede forces of caos. (Could you?)
Very well, concerning to that displacement...

Will you notice the distintion between a designated
emotion of a persistent and subjetive force from the
non significated emotion that concerns and gives sense
to the thinking thought of deleuzes concepts, and the
designation of a concrete and objetive weakness from a
significated emotion that no further concerns sense to
the thinking thought of deleuzes concepts,

i agree that there are non-signifiable elements to making sense but speaking
about them always implicates one in the sense at hand. to do this-D uses
CONCEPTS such as asignification to describe time image proliferation outside
modes of grammatical linkage, alternatively, the affective interplay of
non-human becomings also works with the task of creating ( open) concepts
for kinds of multiplicities which are always exceeded by the outside of that
conceptual componenets. ( see Paul Patton's Deleuze and the Political-for
some 'sensible' scholarly exegesis of this idea)

additionally, on Charle's Stivale's web site there is a wonderful series of
Deleuze's seminars on Leibniz. in the first of these, D explains what he
means by concepts bearing the signature of the thinker who creates them.
someone who has need of the concepts of a specific thinker may be called
Kantian, Cartesian or whatever. however, Deleuze and Guattari's concepts
differ from these becuase they are built in a way which makes them
inhabitable ( and thereby capable of differentiation) by agregate composites
which are not their own. A few strings ago Dan Haines spoke about his
expereince of reading D and G, where his notes, doodles, underlinings all a
participated in a musical relation with the concepts specific to his
singularities. this is what i maen by saying that D and G's concepts are
open to the fulx of singularities which adds owns own signature to theirs in
the act of creating a reading between their conceptual aggregate and the
kinds of multiplicitie brought to the text-i do not think there can be an
'authentic' objective Deleuzianist to offset agains a somewhow weaker notion
Deleuzian. so i will say again, i am not ashamed to say that my thinking
participates in a territory, i am happy to call Deleuzian ( or better still
Deleuze-Guattrian)

but it
concerns sense underneath the interpretational
condition of a necessary impulsive domination that
imposses impulsions to the others on a pluralistic
multiple perspectives?

the minitute you name this 'sense underneath' you are participating in
extending the realm of making sense from non-sense-nothing wrong with doing
this intuitively, indeed i would say i make most of my stuff that way but
once one surrounds intuitive sense with the mantles of mysticism then one is
on the look out for a cult of believers-no thanks.
