Title

Pragmatics (or Schizoanalysis)

Description

Thus pragmatics (or schizoanalysis) can be represented by four circular components that bud and form rhizomes. (1) The generative component: the study of concrete mixed semiotics; their mixtures and variations. (2) The transformational component: the study of pure semiotics; their transformations-translations and the creation of new semiotics. (3) The diagrammatic component: the study of abstract machines, from the standpoint of semiotically unformed matters in relation to physically unformed matters. (4) The machinic component: the study of the assemblages that effectuate abstract machines, simultaneously semiotizing matters of expression and physicalizing matters of content.Pragmatics as a whole would consist in this: making a tracing of the mixed semiotics, under the gernative component; making the transformational map of the regimes, wiht thier possibilities for translation and creation, for budding along the lines of the tracing; making the diagram of the abstract machines that are in play in each case, either as potentialities or as effective emergences; outlining the program of the assemblages that distribute everything and bring the circulation of movement with alternatives, jumps, and mutations.
