AO #135
What is essential is this double movement whereby Butler drives both arguments beyond their very limits. He shatters the vitalist argument by calling in question the specific or personal unity of the organism, and the mechanist argument even more decisively, by calling in question the structural unity of the machine.

François Cheng montre que le poète ne poursuit pas la ressemblance, pas plus qu'il ne calcule des "proportions géométriques". Il retient, il extrait seulement les lignes et les mouvements essentiels de la nature, il ne procède qu'avec des "traits" continués ou surimposés. (343)

AO #134
Electric language does not go by way of the voice or writing; data processing does without them both, as does that discipline appropriately named fluidics, which operates by means of streams of gas; the computer is a machine for instantaneous and generalized decoding. (241)

AO #133
The opposition is between the class and those who are outside the class. Between the servants of the machine, and those who sabotage it or its cogs and wheels. Between the social machine's régime and that of the desiring-machines. Between the relative interior limits and the absolute exterior limit. (255)

Les éthologues ont un grand avantage sur les ethnologues : ils ne sont pas tombés dans le danger structural qui divise un "terrain" en formes de parenté, de politique, d'économie, de mythe, etc. Les éthologues ont gardé l'intégralité d'un certain "terrain" non divisé. (404)

MP #128
Et l'articulation des deux aspects de l'agencement se fait par les mouvements de déterritorialisation qui quantifient leurs formes. C'est pourquoi un champ social se définit moins par ses conflits et ses contradictions que par les lignes de fuite qui le traversent. (114)
MP #127
Maintenant que nous considérons des expressions qui ont leur contenu en elles-mêmes, nous avons une autre distinction : le visage avec ses corrélats visuels (yeux) renvoie à la peinture, la voix renvoie à la musique, avec ses corrélats auditifs (l'oreille est elle-même une ritournelle, elle en a la forme).

AO #124
The pseudo territoriality is the product of an effective deterriorialization that substitutes abstract signs for the signs of the earth, and that makes the earth itself into the object of a State ownership of property, or an ownership held by the State's richest servants and officials. (196)

AO #123
And above all, what is made of the unconscious itself, if not its explicit reduction to an EMPTY FORM, from which desire itself is absent and expelled? ... For if it is true that the unconscious has no material or content, this is assuredly not because it is an empty form, but rather because it is always and already a functioning machine, a desiring machine and not an anorexic structure.

AO #122
The exegetical meaning (what is said about the thing) is only one element among others, and is less important than the operative use (what is done with the thing) or the positional functioning (the relationship with other things in one and the same complex), according to which the symbol is never in a one-to-one relationship with what it means, but always has a multiplicity of referents, being "always multifocal and polysemous."
