Several of the concepts in A Thousand Plateaus became instrumental for us…Most important was the distinction they have pointed out between the concepts of “smooth” and “striated” space…In the IDF we now often use the term “to smooth out space” when we want to refer to operation in a space as if it had no borders…We want to confront the “striated” space of traditional, old-fashioned military practice with smoothness that allows for movement through space that crosses any borders and barriers.

but it has got meaning, imo, its just a different jargon to that used by critical theory, describing a lot of the same concepts

what i dont get is, if pomo theorists have chopped up and repointed all previously existing chains of signification, arent they pretty much shredding pre-existing ideology at a similar or greater rate than their history-less replacement narratives can create it?

i feel like pomo marketing in this sense is less like nyarlathotep under the earth than just a ton of earthworms making it fertile for whatever the next great materially rooted Thing turns out to be

I'm not sure about pomo, but real sociologists and anthropologists love post-structuralism. Foucault is post-structuralist right?

yeah.. id say the last ten years or so have seen a backlash against 'pomo' or Theory in many fields that ive been exposed to. Theory's Empire in literature for example.

about 8 years ago, a prof who zizek described as one of the worlds foremost hegelians told the class that theory was kind of like a huge bubble that is now deflating, that we should avoid writing like foucault and judith butler, and that we should use simple words
