I never received this:

so this snippet comes from Michael Rooney's message of the same day.

I'm wondering if we should try to get some terms clear here?  I've never
thought of "immanence" in terms of metaphysics & definitely not as
transcendent...but how about transcendental?  I'm trying to reorientate
myself to these terms vis-a-vis a conference I went to at Warwick some
years ago--'Deleuze & the Transcendental Unconscious'--but without much
luck (my memory isn't what it once was...I think...).

These notions always seem to crop up in relation to all D+G's stuff about
immanence, plane of consistency, machinic phylum, body without organs...&
no doubt loads of others.  So, what does anyone think?
