A thousand plateaus

Deleuze and Guattari evoke, in A Thousand Plateaus, the dismantling of the organism which “has never meant killing yourself, but rather opening the body to connections that presuppose an entire assemblage, circuits, conjunctions, levels and thresholds, passages and distributions of intensity, and territories and deterritorializations measured with the craft of a surveyor”,13 and destratification which brings about a “continuum of intensities, combined emission[s] of particles or signs-particles, [and a] conjunction of deterritorialized flows”,14 both of which do not concern the protection of stable being but the fight against the terror that being has wrought.
