Judith & Bryan

Sorry it took so long to get back.  

I agree with Judith when she worries about what I said vis a vis experience,
since I was thinking myself that my example might seem to introduce a
reified inside/oustide distinction--which was, believe me, not what I 
intended to do.  On the other hand, assuming experience outside the
context of inside (as opposed to interiority in the sense of a set of
molecular effects, where exteriority is linked to a set of molar effects)
what's wrong with the example?  Bryan asked about the interiority of 
writing.  Great, wonderful, I love it.  The point I wanted to make was
that there are parts what happens in the context of the academic machine
which do not get reterritorialized, and to which we can return if we
want to find examples of becomings/linkages/lines of flight that have
real nomadic potential.  Or, in other words, there are more effects
produced in academic practice than the ones that are acknowledged by
academia, and thus regulated, ordered, subjected to discipline and
organization by it.  And I wonder whether it isn't these imperceptible
effects, the ones that don't submit to the "author function" or which
are hidden by it, that we shouldn't be paying more attention to.
