- Description
- Bodies in medieval literature are depicted as rhizomatic, unfinished identity machines invented by texts, such as TC, CT, and others. Commentary draws on theories of Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, and others. Particular references to SqT, WBP, PardT, MLT, and especially GP, with a close comparison to the opening of "The Sultan of Babylon."
