Machinology | Machines, noise, and some media archaeology by Jussi Parikka
http://jussiparikka.net/

Uryvek recenze:
Media archaeology undertakes to rewrite media history from the standpoint of the machines themselves, eschewing any linear or teleological account. Instead, media archaeologists embrace the ‘anarchaeology’ first mooted by Siegfried Zielinski (2006), which sees media history as a disorderly jostling between concepts, systems, inventions and crazes, any one of which has its own intrinsic merits and its autonomous history. [...] In this book, Parikka outdoes Zielinski, pushing the boundaries back to the scales of geological time, from the far future of radioactive decay to the deep past when key minerals and energy sources were formed.

akorat mi tady pristal sbornik Deleuze Studies editovany Gary Genoskem. Zatim jsem to prolitl, ale je tam skvelej clanek Machinic Animism od Angely Melitopoulos a Maurizia Lazzarata (kterej se pro me osobne radi spolu s Genoskem a DeLandou jako jeden z lidi, ktery jsou schopny "odemknout" praci D&G). Aneb jak se s pomoci inspirace animismem archaickejch spolecnosti snazi Guattari prekonat subjekt/objektove rozdeleni, jak pojima subjektivitu a jak updatetuje animismus, aby ustal propojeni s materialismem.

Clanek jsem nasel online tady:

“For every type of machine we will question not only its vital autonomy, which is not an animal, but its singular power of enunciation.” Every machinic assemblage (technical, biological, social, etc.), once contained enunciative facilities, if only at the embryonic stage. They thus possessed a proto-subjectivity. There too, like subjectivity, it is necessary to separate the singular power of the enunciation of the subject from the person and the human. This goes against our philosophical and political tradition that since Aristotle has made language and speech a unique and exclusive characteristic of man, the only animal which possesses language and speech.

Task: Destroy Worlds (Not Create Conceptions)
The conspiracy against this world will be known through its war machines. A war machine is itself “a pure form of exteriority” that “explains nothing,” but there are plenty of stories to tell about them. They are the heroes of A Thousand Plateaus – Kleist’s skull-crushing war machine; the migratory war machine that the Vandals used to sack Rome; the gun that Black Panther George Jackson grabs on the run,[4] and the queer war machine that excretes a thousand tiny sexes. “Each time there is an operation against the state – insubordination, rioting, guerilla warfare, or revolution as an act – it can be said that a war machine has revived.”

Jakkoliv teda me Latour nebavi, a prijde mi jako vykastrovana verze ontologie D&G se strasnym humorem a sislavym hlasem, tak ale vcera zacal jeho kurz na Coursere...

Mimochodem, koukal jsem, ze na libgen.in se da stahnout Bryantova (autor v ramci oboru hypernavstevovaneho blogu larval subjects) Onto-Cartography. Rozhodne stoji za precteni, asi tak 1000x srozumitelnejsi nez cokoliv, co napsal Deleuze nebo Guattari :) Pritom to z nich dost vychazi, plus z Latoura, Luhmanna, Maturana a Varely. A kdyz si knizku prectete tak se muzete prihlasit pristi tyden k jeho on-line kurzu Anarchy of objects .]

"Something can only be called a sign when it is possible to distinguish in
it a signifiant and a signifie. In place of the Saussurean terms Hjelmslev introduces
the terms expression and content, which he calls the planes of the sign. In a
further interpretation of Saussure the terms form and substance are introduced:
Language, according to Saussure, is a form that initiates distinctions in both the
"amorphous mass" of our thoughts (content) and also in the "plastic matter"
(matiere plastique, Saussure, 1916: ISS) of sounds. Just how Saussure imagined
the formation process of these two formless substances is shown in Figure 2,
from the Cours (Saussure 1916: 156). Saussure wanted to portray language as
one synthetic form located between two substances. Hjelmslev, in contrast,
emphasizes the differing formation of the two planes of expression and content, and defines this entity created out of two different forms as the definitive model
of the sign.
The image used by Hjelmslev to illustrate the relationship between form
and substance is that of a net (form), which is thrown over the unformed matter
(called by Hjelmslev purport-also on the plane of expression-or matiere), so
that a formed substance is created by projecting non-substantial form onto the
formless substance. It is necessary, therefore, to distinguish, on both planes of
the sign, between matter (formless substance), (formed) substance, and (nonsubstantial)
form. This leads, in Hjelmslev's model of the sign, to the following
six major components: expression-purport, expression-substance (ES), expressionform
(EF) , content-form (CF) , content-substance (CS), and content-purport.
These can be represented in the following diagram (with the particular interdependences
indicated by arrows):

A-signifying Semiotics
Gary Genosko

Abstract
This paper offers an interpretation of the theory of a-signifying semiotics
developed by French intellectual-activist Félix Guattari in the 1970s. The
argument is that these types of part-signs are perfectly adapted to the quasiautomated
networks of contemporary infocapitalism, and their characteristics
are studied with regard to the magnetic stripe on a plastic bank or credit
card. Although these part-signs are akin to signals since they do not have a
semantic dimension, they do have a political materiality in the technologies,
that is, the information strands of the machinic phylum, in which they are
found. This technomaterialist semiotics of infocapital places Guattari at the
forefront of innovative semiotic theory.

O stratech...

The strata, along with the assemblage, rhizome and the Body without Organs (BwO), form the material basis of Deleuzeand Guattari’s systems theory. As such, an understanding of stratification is necessary to an understanding of their work.
[...]

To begin, there is the entire BwO, or the total set of unformed materials. Geologically, the Earth is an example. Strata are "inevitable phenomenon" that occur on the BwO. They code and territorialize the BwO; put (very) simply, strata make things out of the formless masses. Where there is one stratum, it necessarily follows that there must be another to border it; this leads Deleuze and Guattari to conclude that strata "come in at least pairs, one serving as the substratum for the other" (ATP 40). The strata are formed by double articulation. This involves a simultaneous articulation of content ande xpression:

The first articulation chooses or deducts, from unstable particle-flows, metastable molecular or quasi-molecular units ('substances') upon which it imposes a statistical order of connections and successions ('forms'). The second articulation establishes functional, compact, stable structures ('forms'), and constructs the molar compounds in which these structures are simultaneously actualized ('substances)'. (ATP 40-41)

ON MACHINES
Felix Guattari
[...] The machine has something more than structure. It is 'more' than structure in that it does not limit itself to a game of interac­tions which develop in space and time between its component parts; rather, it possesses a core of consistency, insistence and ontological affirmation, which is prior to the unfolding into energetico-spatio-temporal coordinates. This machinic core, which in some respects can be qualified as proto-subjective and proto-biological, possesses characteristics Varella has not completely taken into account. These are, on the one hand, elements of onto- or of phylogenesis, but also, on the other hand, elements of finitude. The machine is a bearer of finitude, of something of the order of birth and death, and from this arises the fascination that it can exert as an exploded, destroyed or imploded machine; a bearer of death around it but also of death to itself.
