/lit/ - Literature

Yeah, I even like the book but that French shit is insufferable, wish they wouldn't try so hard.

It’s a really fun read at times

Do D&G talk about farts too?

>what the hell am i reading?
If the true meaning of the words escapes you, perhaps you're not bright enough for philosophy. It's all very clear.

>>16171198
it helps to remember that the authors were faggots who sucked cocks and swallowed cum and got their assholes fucked raw by big hard throbbing cocks

Imagine not understanding a YA book.
IT'S ABOUT BECOMING!
And now transform into that pack of wolf anuses and hunt down the Body without organs.

>>16172036
Sure but body without organs surely is characterising a specific conception of becoming, so explain it. In contrast to Heraclitus' most obviously.

Can I just safely call Deleuze a relativist that believes in values?

>>16172036
>>16172052
Also please don't tell me after all this time of hearing complaints the difficulty of Deleuze was based off his typically absurd use of descriptors and adjectives, rather than the actual ideas as much?

Making it literally YA as he or someone else said.

>>16172055
...what?
shut the fuck up.

>>16172081
You don't understand?

>>16172052
>explaining the BwO
No can do. It is literally just that, a body without Organs because remember.. no metaphors.

>>16172134
I haven't read it, but a meaning can still be extracted and spoken about from it without it "becoming a metaphor", surely?

>>16171198
never run into psychoanalysis?

>>16172036
no, no. AO is the YA book. ATP is extremely serious philosophy for big brain geniuses with at least 30 years of reading under their belts.

>>16171198
clearly not past the first 20 pages

>>16171198
It's quite interesting to see that the book makes so little sense that this thread is filled not with explanations, but jokes about how little sense it makes.

>>16172655
The. Strata. Are. Phenomena. Of. Thickening. On. The. Body. Of. The. Earth!!

>>16172655
I mean it does make some sense once you've worked yourself through the book.
It's just that the concepts are pretty fucking bananas and your have to go with them a little bit.
For the uninitiated stuff like >>16172824 seems like random gibberish but there is some meaning to it which is really hard to put in other words if you want to make it intelligible to others.

>>16172891
The meaning is that everything, all language, code, ideas, axioms, content, form, all phenomena that appear are the result of the primal forces upon the unformed matter depositing over time

>who is freud even
A fraud.

>nooo if the references are not within my ignorant horizon it's what the fuck am i reading
>who is freud even why would anyone have heard of wolfmann noooo everything must be accesible with my US highschool education as a basis else it's schizophrenic nonsense noooo /lit/ is out of quality it's over boom

>>16173/032
You right?

>>16172891
>>16172912
Explain what those primal forces of what I gather to be the "rhizome" or some shit.

>>16171198
>Spinoza but for french degenerates
Why would anybody read this?
