This week we are joined by a very special guest, Lucy from the Wyrd Signal podcast. Together, we read the nomadology chapter on Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus.
We spoke about the form and content of State apparatuses, war machines, nomads, blobs, and how this all relates to conflicts in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel-Palestine and the clandestine activities of the deep state.
Listen below or, alternatively, find us on Spotify, iTunes, SoundCloud, Podbean and YouTube.
If you like to read along with us, we read “1227: Treatise on Nomadology — The War Machine” from Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus — a chapter so long that has also been published in its own right as Nomadology: The War Machine.
Below you can find a list of additional links to further material that is either discussed over the course of this episode or which helped inform our readings:
- “The Crimes of SEAL Team 6” by Matthew Cole
- “The Art of War” by Eyal Weizman
