That was interesting and elucidating, thanks. It would be great if you could get Manuel DeLanda on to present his approach to assemblage theory (and/or other aspects of his work), and to get his response to Ian Buchanan’s criticisms.
what a weirdly judgmental take about the translation of agencement from the host... I'd recommend reading how Erin Manning makes use of it in her work involving what she calls Autistic Perception, a phenomenologically oriented counterpart to schizoanalysis
I apologize if it came off that I was being judgmental toward Massumi-I was trying to discuss that option perhaps out of context-I actually admire the alternative he uses and did not mean to be dismissive.
