"O bitches of impossibility!"
programmatic dysfunction in the chaosmos of Deleuze and Whitehead
Roland Faber
pp. 200-219
Is Whitehead Dada? you may ask. Is Deleuze Dada? And I will answer: Yes! In a certain sense they are, in that "functioning" seems to be a very dubious thing; in the sense that the way we organize our thought is politically revealing (AO XIII); in the sense that to subject ourselves to any system in order to gain security or control is a way of suppressing life (N 143).2 In this sense, the protest against any kind of imperialist occupation of the ever-flowing multiplicity of Life may begin with the liberation from the hysteria of seeking function, organization, system, subjection and control (N 32) — that is what dada was all about.
