I did a study group with her and we had to work out a legal problem. She interrupted each time to ask if a particularly character in the problem was destitute (or to concude that he/she was) and eventually decided on a lunch break declaring "I am destitute!"Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371925558254933645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492889481663521911.post-323775518057753942009-01-13T01:48:00.000+11:002009-01-13T01:48:00.000+11:00Thanks Baron, glad you were able to clear that up....Thanks Baron, glad you were able to clear that up. <BR/><BR/>You know, someone once said to me, dismissing the entire Gallic post-structuralist movement: "The French, you know - they get easily bored".Lefty Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00987607139560429227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492889481663521911.post-40172174836050561622009-01-12T19:40:00.000+11:002009-01-12T19:40:00.000+11:00Erm, at risk of further obfuscation, I refer you t...Erm, at risk of further obfuscation, I refer you to the Deleuze and Guattari glossary:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.eri.mmu.ac.uk/deleuze/on-deleuze-key_concepts.php" REL="nofollow">Haecceity is the quality of ‘this-ness’ in a ‘thing-in-itself’. Haecceities are intensive states experienced by the automatic or autoerotic movements of machinic desire rather than by the psychoanalytical subject. The use of colour, the timbre of a voice or the rhythm of a movement are haecceities not reducible to symbolic meaning.</A>Alexis, Baron von Harlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675225579658733004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492889481663521911.post-51661648504417193752009-01-12T18:51:00.000+11:002009-01-12T18:51:00.000+11:00I accord with your preference, Baron, but first Im...I accord with your preference, Baron, but first Im trying to grasp concept of thisness.
