D&G - A 1000 Plateaus - Episode 10 - The Abstract Machine of Faciality

What if the face is not a part of your body, but a machine designed to control you? In this video, we dive deep into the "Year Zero: Faciality" concept from the sources. We explore the "abstract machine of faciality," a system that transforms the human head into a white wall/black hole system used to organize social power and subjectivity. Key Concepts Explored: • The White Wall and the Black Hole: Understand how the face functions as a screen for the signifier (the white wall) and a locus for consciousness and passion (the black hole). The face is not an envelope for the person; it is a mechanism that guides how we are "read" by society. • The Face vs. The Head: Discover why the sources argue that the head is part of the body, but the face is not. The face is produced only when the head is "decoded" from the body and "overcoded" by a surface-hole system. • The Politics of the Face: We examine how the face functions as a politics of binarization, creating "yes/no" choices (man/woman, rich/poor, boss/worker) and acting as a "deviance detector". • Face as Christ: Explore the historical claim that the face is not a universal human trait but a specific European product—specifically, "the face is Christ"—which spread the "facialization" of the entire body across the globe. • Racism and Faciality: Learn how racism operates not by excluding "others" but by determining degrees of deviance from the "White-Man face". • Dismantling the Face: Finally, we discuss the radical project of "dismantling the face" to escape social overcoding, moving toward "becomings-animal" and the creation of "probe-heads" that break through the wall of the signifier. Why "Year Zero"? Because the sources suggest that our modern semiotic of capitalism reached a state of total interpenetration of significance and subjectification, where the faciality machine assumes its full, imperialistic scope. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hashtags #Philosophy #DeleuzeAndGuattari #Faciality #YearZero #SocialTheory #AbstractMachine #CriticalTheory #PostStructuralism #TheFace #DismantleTheFace #ProbeHeads #PhilosophyOfPower -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Analogy for Understanding: To understand the "abstract machine of faciality," imagine the human head as a blank cinema screen (the white wall). The "face" is not the screen itself, but the movie projected onto it, where the characters' eyes are dark, magnetic points (the black holes) that suck the audience into a specific story. You aren't seeing a person; you are seeing a "program" that tells you exactly who they are supposed to be in the social script.
