D&G - A 1000 Plateaus - Episode 11 -The Three Lines of Life and Literature

In this video, we dive deep into the philosophy of literature and the structure of human existence as explored in the sources. We move beyond simple definitions to ask the core question of the novella: "What happened?". Unlike the "tale," which asks what is going to happen, or the "novel," which focuses on a perpetual living present, the novella is organized around something that has just occurred—an event that is often unknowable or imperceptible. We explore the "perceptual semiotics" of authors like Henry James and F. Scott Fitzgerald to understand how our lives are composed not of points, but of lines. According to the sources, every individual and group is traversed by three distinct types of lines: 1. The Molar or Rigid Line: This is the line of clear-cut segments—our jobs, social classes, and planned futures. It is the world of the "telegraphist" and the "grocer," where everything is calculable and foreseen. 2. The Molecular or Supple Line: Beneath the rigid surface, there are micro-cracks and "subconversations". This line involves flows, particles, and "quanta" that elude our standard social identities. It is the realm of the secret, where the matter of the secret may be banal, but its form remains impenetrable. 3. The Line of Flight or Rupture: This is the "clean break" from which there is no return. It is a line of absolute deterritorialization where one becomes "imperceptible and clandestine". On this line, one no longer has a secret because they have dismantled the self to become "like everybody/the whole world". We also analyze Pierrette Fleutiaux’s metaphor of the abyss, where "near-seers" use rigid telescopes to overcode the world, while "far-seers" detect the tiny, molecular vibrations of "becoming" before they reach the surface. Whether you are a student of literature, a fan of Schizoanalysis, or simply curious about how we "crack up," this video offers a cartography of the human experience. As the sources suggest, we are not just people; we are bundles of lines. Key Topics Covered: • The difference between a Novella and a Tale. • The "Dirty Little Secret" vs. the Form of the Secret. • Fitzgerald’s "Crack-Up" and the three types of breaks. • Henry James and the "Cage" of rigid segmentarity. • The politics of the "Far-seer" and the "Near-seer". Think of our lives like a map of a busy city: The molar lines are the major highways and gridded streets that everyone sees and follows; the molecular lines are the side alleys and footpaths where the real "subconversation" of the city happens; and the line of flight is like a train that suddenly jumps the tracks entirely, heading into the open wilderness where the old map no longer applies. #Deleuze #Guattari #Philosophy #Literature #Novella #FScottFitzgerald #HenryJames #Schizoanalysis #LineOfFlight #WhatHappened
