it has occured to me after reading Aden's post that human physiology is
such taht in order to remember humans must repress and in that sense
constitute a psychological memory. this is the way freud is uasually
interpreted. derrida appears to accetp as much ttoo. for deleuze, habits
obviuosly repress or prevent 'unrestrained' repetition. repression,
however, is a result of social practice and is not a necessary result
of subjectification. all bodies are finite and it that sense limited, but
not necessarily repressed. doubtless homo sapien physiology as it now
exists involves a certain amount of repression, but mutations can certainly
occur that might enable humans to overcome their current limits. Whence
all the references to siliconized life forms and cybernetics and third
generation machines at the end of FOUCAULT.
does anyone have comments on this? does anyone think deleuze is in lala
land? all the machines of CAPITALISM AND SCHIZOPHRENIA lend themselves
to discussions of such becomings and overcomings.
