Deleuze Modeste.

The brain as becoming subject. The brain is not static, it evolves over time. Its centers must be located in time, not space. A very Bergsonian concept. Here we will explore Hugh Jackson and Constantin von Monaco as interpreted by Gilles Deleuze, and learn that the brain becomes, mutates, and this occurs as event through time and memory.

Looking at the first perspective of the brain - specifically neurons biology. But we are staying with Deleueze's reasoning, and therefore this podcast will fix some errors from the last one and try to do a definitive analysis of the brain in the classical image of thought.

Here we are following at St. Denis, a sceance from 1984 and one of the last regarding cinema and the brai .

We are still victims of a very poor and outdated image of thought. What is the brain? Where is memory stored? Where is my soul located? Or my spirit? Where do my emotions come from? We continue to adhere to classical and long outdated images of thought. So we will look into the becoming subject of the brain and hopefully deterritorialize much of what we take for granted.

In any case, let's return to our main objective: how to capture,

dissect, remove, and add intensive components in order to create

new areas of discernment and becoming. Revitalize a concept,

give it new life.

In a way, the concept of “Black Hole - White Wall” is relative to the

era of Milles Plateau's publication, perhaps to a time when the

factory, let alone the corporation, represented a primary means of

control over the socius, extracting the desire for profit while

maintaining sufficient rigidity to guarantee a high level of control.

Once a subject identifies and assumes a binary identity, it sinks

into the black hole of subjectivity, ensuring that its uncoded flows

will always have a limit and that the machinery of capitalism can

thus continue to turn safely.

This concept was our fish, which we attempted to open up,

understand its living components, analyze them, see what is still

vital and which components could be refreshed, what new futures

this refreshed concept could have. Only a Sicilian fisherman could

perhaps understand the perverse joy of attempting such an

operation.

It is certain that Deleuze often operated in the same way, but, as he

mentioned, the philosophy of his time was saturated with the

history of philosophy, so that, from a certain point of view, the

bastardization of past philosophers constituted a “line of flight”

toward something new.

In A Thousand Plateaus, Deleuze and Guattari diagnose fascism not merely as a macropolitical event—an authoritarian seizure of the state—but as an immanent, molecular process within subjectivities, institutions, and everyday social arrangements. Microfascism, the insidious desire for order, hierarchy, and security at the level of desire itself, operates beneath and beyond official political structures. This first episode examines how, under the Obama presidency—a period often mythologized as a triumph of liberal democracy—microfascist tendencies intensified rather than dissipated. Far from a mere reactionary backlash, these tendencies emerged within the very mechanisms of governance, media, and neoliberal discourse, forming what Deleuze and Guattari might call an "abstract machine" of control that modulated political affect. Through a rigorous analysis of the post-2008 terrain, we trace the molecular flows that conditioned new forms of subjectivation, complicity, and repression, laying the groundwork for the escalation of authoritarian tendencies in the years that followed.
