A Thousand Plateaus
A Thousand Plateaus is the second volume of Capitalism and Schizophrenia, published 8 years after publishing the first volume, Anti-Oedipus. Many topics are covered in this book, including noology and political economy.
The concept of plateaus can be defined as follows: "Each plateau is an orchestration of crashing bricks extracted from a variety of disciplinary edifices. They carry traces of their former emplacement, which give them a spin defining the arc of their vector. The vectors are meant to converge at a volatile juncture, but one that is sustained, as an open equilibrium of moving parts each within its own trajectory" (Deleuze & Guatarri, 1980, p. xiv)
