The Two-Fold Thought of Deleuze and Guattari: Intersections and Animations Charles J. Stivale, a scholar in French literary and cultural studies, tries to articulate Deleuze and Guattari's philosophical concepts with practical studies on culture, analyzing films, cyberspace, and Cajun dance. Although he says that the goal of the book is to provide "an initial orientation" to Deleuze and Guattari's collaborative works, it is not a simple job at all for those innocent of Deleuzean concepts
reclaim what has been already lost. Exile is the state of one who lives away from his native land, either voluntarily or unwillingly. However unlike most exiles, refined Nabokov is met with less cultural or linguistic clashes when being in deterritorialization. He physically deterritorializes, in various spaces and times, moving from Russia to England, then from Germany to France. He describes his household as “the kind of Russian family to which I belonged—a kind now extinct, had, among other virtues
The Philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari ABSTRACT: In academic philosophy the writings of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari are still treated as curiosities and their importance for philosophical discussions is not recognized. In order to remedy this, I demonstrate how the very concept of philosophy expounded by the two contributes to philosophical thinking at the end of the twentieth century while also providing a possible line of thought for the next millenium. To do this, I first
Why Dear Esther Can’t Be Minor Literature Is the video game Dear Esther minor literature? People want to consider Dear Esther as literature because of how different it is from a traditional game; it plays more like an interactive book, a story that is read very much like a book, but with the option to explore the text in a more physical way. However, because Dear Esther is not a book, some don’t want to classify it as literature, but as minor literature. Minor literature being a work of literature
In the essay “Local Rock And Global Plastic: World Ecology And The Experience Of Place,” by Ursula K. Heise, she writes that, "the objective of this essay is to explore how literary texts negotiate the juncture between ecological globalism and localism and how, from a comparatist viewpoint, they link issues of global ecology with those of transnational culture," (Heise 126). This level of analysis, regarding the importance of world ecology and eco-friendly mindsets, finds refuge in the the basic

In “The Great God Pan” (1894) Machen uses ancient Greek god Pan to serve as a symbol of spiritual reality that lies beyond human perception and knowledge. Machen’s use of this divine entity and his success in rediscovering a minor figure of the classical pantheon, yet “mostly neglected by earlier authors of English literature” (Pasi 69), provide what Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari argue to be the significant value of a minor author, “…by using a number of minority elements, by connecting, conjugating
Like most evidence of colonization, Ken Lum’s Four Boats Stranded: Red and Yellow, Black and White 2001 cannot be entirely seen from a fixed perspective. Because they are four scaled model boats, of historical significance, mounted on top of the Vancouver Art Gallery (VAG), a viewer must walk the perimeter of the building or enter the off-limits area on the rooftop to completely witness the installation. Working in ways similar to the investigations and discourse it aims to inspire, Four Boats Stranded
One of the types of contemporary literature is the minor literature, which was first stated by Deleuze and Guattari. According to them, minor literature consists of 3 characteristics that defines it as a whole; deterritorialization, political nature and collective value. When the author writes about the ideas of minority in a major language, which are related to the politics and have a collective value towards the other writers, then this piece of work is considered to

There are at least ten Mexican groceries in East Harlem, New York City. They vary in size and clientele. Some of them carry different services apart of grocery shopping, such as package delivery to the Southern States of Mexico, legal and tax services, translation from Mixteco to Spanish and English, and catering. My favorite shops are located in Lexington Avenue, between 103rd and 106th Street: they are big, sell products from Puebla, and have a wide diversity of tamales, traditional sweet bread
A developing country that continually shows growth will soon with time become a developed country, however, the situation could go both ways for El Salvador. On the western side of the hemisphere in Central America lies a country Southwest of Guatemala and Southeast of Honduras, namely El Salvador. Although El Salvador is a very small country in comparison to other members of Central America, it was not forgotten by the Conquistadors ultimately making El Salvador become one of Spain’s colonies. However
harmoniously. Gather explores the loss of food traditions among Native American communities and their efforts to reclaim them. Food is not just sustenance; it is deeply intertwined with cultural identity and sovereignty. The film illustrates how the deterritorialization of environments, through colonization and disruptions to traditional foodways, is a social justice issue. The resilience shown by individuals like Nephi Craig and Twila Cassadore in reclaiming ancestral practices speaks to the pursuit of Buen

Intercultural relationships are sites where cultural differences, power, privilege, and positionality are negotiated, translated, and converted. Intercultural relationships explain the action of two cultures intermingling with each other. Cultural appropriation is a form of intercultural interaction that involves a person using someone else’s culture in his or her own way. Cultural appropriation often results in the commodification, decontextualizing, depoliticizing, and the erasure of traditions
communication, and the breaking down of artificial barriers to the flows of goods, services, capital, knowledge, and people across borders." However, according to Jon Aart Scholte- an authority on the subject- globalization as a process is ‘deterritorialization’; i.e., under the conditions of the process of globalization, territories- geographical boundaries have transgressed and have become extraneous to human relations. For instance, employees of a call-centre in Noida can sell insurance schemes
Cultural Globalization: Theories and Methods The idea of experience regarding globalization is important, according to various scholars, as globalization only truly matters if people can feel that it has something to do with their lives. People have to sense that they are actually experiencing globalization in order to care about it and find it important enough – which is why I would like to argue that certain of the pieces in the "experiencing globalization" section of the course literature represent
Globalization is a very broad topic and, at the moment, rank high among the most favorite and most argued concepts. The word appears in different meaning and contexts in social media, newspapers and magazines, televisions and political-economic discourses. Globalization is itself already globalized. This section provides a small overview of the existing definitions of globalization and then, introduces at the end of this section an author’s definition of globalization. Globalization is not a single
