In this essay I explain a radical version of structuralism and concept of the sign, put forward by Deleuze. My aim is to create a model of Deleuze’s structuralism, called Interpretative Structuralism, that can be applied to the world and everything in it (bodies). My explanation of Deleuze could be called structuralist because I take a systematic approach to explaining his structuralism and produce a model for future application. I maintain, howe…
Using Peirce (And Deleuze's Peirce) to Think About #Foodporn and Other Instagram Signs
This essay applies Peirce's and Deleuze's semiotics to "food porn" on Instagram, and this sign is an exemplar of the structure of all signs on this platform. Food porn is defined as triadic: (1) the food porn image plus the comments are representative of (2) the profile who posted the image (poster) for (3) another profile (ambient viewer) who thinks this relationship. From Peirce and Deleuze there are two main ways of thinking in signs and I app…
From the perspective of the object in semiotics
From Peirce, a sign represents something other than itself, an object, for some third; from Deleuze, a sign can create and erase an object, for some third. He makes this claim in the cinema books, without detailed explication. It is a fleeting reference to the Peircean triad developed in his semiotics; moreover, references to "objects" in Deleuze's discussions of signs in his other work are often generic. In this essay, I explain what it means in…
Tools for jimmying experience
This paper extends previous work that develops Deleuze’s concept of immanence in a research and education context. Its focus is a minor practice called Conceptual Speed Dating (CSD), noted by Brian Massumi as a technique for disabling the tendency in group dynamics for participants to perform their acquired knowledge, at the expense of “exploratory thinking.” This paper contribute to Deleuze-Guattarian “immanent pedagogies” in that it outlines Fa…
Meaning in the age of social media
It took Spinoza and structuralism to teach Deleuze that meaning is not necessarily attributed to the cinematic sign
In his books on the cinema, Gilles Deleuze describes the sign as an expression of semiotic matter. Importantly, expression is a process whereby semiotic matter is molded into form (sign), but this process is not rightfully guided by any structure transcendent to semiotic matter itself. It is the result of matter’s self-modulation. Using an early essay of Deleuze’s called ‘How do we recognize structuralism?’, I take a closer look at the cinema boo…
