On Semiotics

On the Enunciation of Signs - Regimes of Expression

The semiotics, artificially split, operating by enunciation: 

Proto-signifying (Primitive)
o   Hunter Nomads - Anticipation/Warding Off
o   Axes: Segmentarity, Lineages
o   Spatiality: Segmented, Lineal
o   Enactment: Polyvocality, Plurilinearity
o   Form of Expression: Heads, Masks
o   Translation: Analogical
o   Stratification proper: Territorialization
o   Violence: Struggle 

Signifying (Imperial)
o   State Apparatus - Capture
o   Axes: Signifiance & Interpretance
o   Spatiality: Circularity; Despot-God as Centre; Striated; Polis
o   Enactment: Deception, Paranoia
o   Form of Expression: Frontal Faciality
o   Translation: Symbolic
o   Stratification proper: Negative Relative Deterritorialization, Scapegoat
o   Violence: War, Work, Policing

Post-signifying (Passional)
o   Proceeding
o   Axes: Consciousness & Love-Passion
o   Spatiality: Line of flight, points recoiling into one another
o   Enactment: Betrayal

Counter-signifying (War Maschine)

Asignifying

Doing Schizoanalysis
Generative
  • Tracing of the mixed semiotics
Transformative
  • Mapping the regimes, possibilities for translation along the lines of tracings
Diagrammatic
  • Making a diagram of the abstract machines in play
Machinic  
  • Outlining the program of the assemblages that distribute everything and bring circulation of movement, semiotizing matters of expression and physicalizing matters of content
