Deleuze on Derrida: machinic: “As for the method of deconstruction of texts, I see clearly what it is, I admire it a lot, but it has nothing to do with my own method. I do not present myself as a commentator on texts. For me, a text is merely a small cog in an extra textual practice. It is not a question of commenting on a text by a method of deconstruction, or by a method of textual practice, or by other methods; it is a question of seeing what use it has in the extra-textual practice that prolongs the text.” —Gilles Deleuze Nietzsche aujourd’hui (Paris: Union Generale d’Editions, 10/18, 1973), vol. 1 , Intensities, pp. 1 86-87.
