Schizoanalysis

(1972 Anti-Oedipus) can be represented by four circular components that bud and form rhizomes:

  • 1) The generative component: the study of concrete mixed semiotics; their mixtures and variations. Making a tracing of the mixed semiotics

  • 2) The transformational component: the study of pure semiotics; their transformations-translations and the creation of new semiotics. Making the transformational map of the regimes, with their possibilities for translation and creation, for budding along the lines of the tracings

  • 3) The diagrammatic component: the study of abstract machines, from the standpoint of semiotically unformed matters in relation to physically unformed matters. Making the diagram of the abstract machines that are in play in each case, either as potentialities or as effective emergences

  • 4) The machinic component: the study of the assemblages that effectuate abstract machines, simultaneously semiotizing matters of expression and physicalizing matters of content. Outlining the program of the assemblages that distribute everything and bring a circulation of movement with alternatives, jumps, and mutations
