SOICH, Matías. Resonancias conceptuales y figuras del üriente en Mil mesetas: del Tao y el go al cuerpo sin órganos y la máquina de guerra. Eidos [online]. 2015, n.22, pp.115-142. ISSN 1692-8857.  https://doi.org/10.14482/eidos.22.5688.

The starting point for this work is a general aim to explore the conceptual resonances between Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy and the Eastern thought. This paper develops two series of figures from the East that appear in A Thousand Plateaus and brings out their connection with various Deleuzian-Guattarian themes. The first series includes some games and martial arts used by the authors as examples for the concepts "smooth space" and "war machine". The second series includes some Taoist sexual practices as one of many cases for the free circulation of desire within a body without organs. The emphasis is laid on clarifying the role these figures from the East play in A Thousand Plateaus, as well as on unveiling some sources the authors usually leave hidden behind. Finally, i figure out the background (point of resonance) against which the Eastern thought and Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy weave their 'disturbing affinities'.

Keywords : Deleuze; Guattari; East; Tao; body without organs; war machine; immanence.
