Assemblage

“In a book, as in all things, there are lines of articulation or segmentarity, strata and territories; but also lines of flight, movements of deterritorialization and destratification. Comparative rates of flow on these lines produce phenomena of relative slowness and viscosity, or, on the contrary, of acceleration and rupture.
All this, lines and measurable speeds, constitutes an assemblage.
A book is an assemblage of this kind, and as such is unattributable.” pp 3, 4
