Global capitalism guided by desire- Solvang, CA, as a “real” place
2021
Abstract How to deal with the transformation of place in the face of global capitalism is marked by many active debates. This paper dives into the transformation of the city of Solvang in California, from an agricultural village to a tourist destination. One way to analyse the process is to treat it as commodification, where values produced in places are being turned into exchangeable commodities. What results from such critical studies of capitalism too often result in apathy rather than positive action, it tends to deal less with ‘the real world’ than thought experiments about possible worlds. Another approach connects to the relational turn and the application of assemblage theory in stu…
Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s Concepts of Deterritorialisation and Reterritorialisation as Globalisation of Culture
2016
In a rapidly changing world, the World Wide Web, transcontinental flights, a plethora of telecommunication and spy satellites, constantly and incessantly encircling our planet, delivering pictures from and to every spot on earth, powerful agencies monitoring every movement of any individual they wish to monitor, eavesdropping on every word and sound emitted anywhere, there are no real borders, either in the physical or the metaphorical sense. That we have been living in a global village seems evident since at least the times of Marshall McLuhan (1962) but today globalization is undoubtedly a vital part of everybody’s culture everywhere in the world. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to ex…
Postcolonial Intersections: Transnational Women Voices from Minor Italy
2017
The rising corpus of Italian postcolonial literature, mainly by women writers originally from the Horn of Africa, is urging Italian letters to engage with other contemporary transnational productions, thus challenging the notion of national canons and vertical power relations, in favor of a writing seeking for horizontal, minor connections unmediated by the center, as suggested by Francoise Lionnet and Shu-mei Shih, whose work on Minor Transnationalism draws from Deleuze & Guattari and Edouard Glissant. As a case of point, the article offers a reflection on Ubax Cristina Ali Farah's narratives and their use of language.
Gilles Deleuze i Félix Guattari: per una política menor. Una anàlisi sobre la crisi del model representatiu, o com assumir el repte d'articular la vi…
2016
En aquest treball analitzem les alternatives que, principalment des dels moviments socials i a través de les noves subjectivitats emergents i no assimilades pel sistema de poder establert, es proposen per a l'articulació de les relacions en el camp social, al marge del model neoliberal i de les formes de representació tradicionalment vinculades a aquest model; tot plegat, emmarcat dins els darrers cicles de lluites sorgits al voltant de l'any 2011. Així mateix, posem el focus d'atenció en els precedents que trobem per aquest costat, a saber: les lluites protagonitzades pel moviment obrer durant la segona meitat del segle XIX i principis del XX -la qual cosa ens permet analitzar algunes de l…

Towards an Economy of Encounters? : A critical study of affectual assemblages in coworking
2017
Abstract Coworking spaces have been established in great numbers around the globe over the past 10 years. Previous studies on coworking spaces argue that these spaces are designed to enable serendipitous encounters. Here we introduce the concept of an economy of encounters, arguing that both intended and unintended encounters have become a form of production in the knowledge-based new economy. This paper draws upon the critical analysis of three case studies of different coworking settings − two open coworking spaces and a corporate coworking office. Following Deleuze and Guattari, we see coworking spaces as affectual assemblages that create affects that push knowledge workers in flow and m…
Kapitalismin käsite : Deleuzen ja Guattarin Marx-luenta ja autonomiset liikkeet
2014
Tutkielmassa lähestytään kapitalismin käsitettä Gilles Deleuzen ja Félix Guattarin Marx-luennan pohjalta. Pyrin muodostamaan systemaattisen esityksen Deleuzen ja Guattarin kapitalismianalyysista, joka on toiminut yhtenä viitekehyksenä 1990-luvulla nousseelle tietotalous- ja prekariaattikeskustelulle sekä tietyille yhteiskunnallisille liikkeille, kuten EuroMayDay-mielenosoituksia järjestäneelle ja perustuloa vaatineelle prekariaattiliikkeelle. Deleuzen ja Guattarin ajattelussa kapitalismi on yhteiskunnallisten virtausten sattumanvaraisesta yhdistymisestä kehittynyt monimutkainen ja globaali yhteiskuntajärjestelmä, joka elää ristiriidoista ja jonka ainoa tarkoitus on Marxin esittelemän pääoma…
