On some aspects of a semiotics of the non-identical: Deleuze, Guattari and Adorno
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this article I propose to use the philosopher Theodor Adorno’s concept of the non-identical to explore the semiotic project that Félix Guattari developed alone and with Gilles Deleuze. I begin by recalling the principles, concepts and aims of schizoanalysis, as theorized by Deleuze and Guattari in Anti-Oedipus. Schizoanalysis is a militant practice that seeks to analyse the productivity of desire in the unconscious and its multiple points of applications in the social world. Alongside his collaboration with Deleuze, Guattari practised schizoanalysis as part of his clinical work at the La Borde Clinic. Initially inspired by Hjelmslevian semiotics, Guattari then proposed his own classification of signs, better suited to analysing the multiple components of subjectivity, desire and the unconscious in relation to capitalism. Deleuzo-Guattarian schizoanalysis combined with the more specifically Guattarian semiotics is from the beginning oriented towards the nonidentical. It offers conceptual and analytical tools for identifying and mapping the heterogeneity of the most singular semiotic universes within the media, art, science and, more broadly, social life.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
