Negarestani’s Poro-Mechanics as a Development on Deleuze Guattari’s Perforated Space
Keywords:
Negarestani, Deleuze, ontology, space, flat, striated, perforatedAbstract
This article deals with the work Cyclonopedia of the philosopher Reza Negarestani as a proposal for the development of the punctured space proposed by Gilles Deleuze. First of all, we will inscribe the ontological framework in which these spaces will move, based on Deleuzian philosophy, a philosophy of becoming, immanent, univocal, materialistic and differential. The ultimate criterion for characterizing the spaces will be the sense of forces that Deleuze takes from Nietzsche. We will then explain the smooth and striated spaces worked by Deleuze and Guattari in A Thousand Plateaus and then we will give an account of the of Negarestani's poro-mechanics, a perforated space where the protagonists will be the worms, the rats and the scorpions. In the conclusions we will present the figure of the outsider, a subversive agent antagonistic to the authoritarian power.
