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.
