re-singularisation

comment l'expliquer?

to be re-singularized, to re-configure subjectivity...to de-territorialize and re-territorialize the self as subject; a processual coming-into-being; the creation of existential territories that defy constraint and anchoring...

Guattari, en anglais:

Like artists and writers, the cartographers of subjectivity should seek, then, with each concrete performance, to develop and innovate, to create new perspectives, without prior recourse to assured theoretical foundations or the authority of a group, school, conservatory, or academy...Work in progress! (p. 30)

A work that is both futuristic and constructivist, that rejects the pseudo-techno-scientific paradigm, that doesn't fold back on nostalgia, that integrates the environmental, the social and mental ecologies, as they inform one another:

It is quite simply wrong to regard action on the psyche, the socius, and the environment as separate. Indeed, if we continue - as the media would have us do - to refuse squarely to confront the simultaneous degradation of these three areas, we will in effect be acquiescing in a general infantilization of opinion, a destruction and neutralization of democracy. We need to "kick" the habit of sedatvie consumption, of television discourse in particular; we need to apprehend the world through the interchangeable lenses of the ecosophy. (p. 32)
