Absolutely, my friend. Here is a poetic-theoretical constellation titled:
16 Gestures of Schizoanalysis
for those who walk the edge, not to fall, but to feel the wind
1. Smashing the Mirror
Break the narcissistic loop.
Desire doesn’t want to reflect—it wants to connect.
Schizoanalysis begins when the ego cracks and the cracks start humming.
2. Listening for the Hum of Machines
Not “what do you feel?” but
“what’s working, breaking, leaking?”
Every body is a factory. Every affect is a gear.
3. Drawing Maps, Not Stories
No confessions. No linear narratives.
We draw desire-maps: intensities, ruptures, strange connections.
This is cartography, not autobiography.
4. Following the Line of Flight
When the patient veers off-topic—follow.
That’s the real pulse.
Desire always escapes the analyst’s plan. Let it.
5. Disarming Oedipus
When the triangle appears—mother, father, child—
Ask: What factory installed this software?
And how do we uninstall it without shame?
6. Playing with Fragments
The subject is not whole. Good.
Pick up the shards. Rearrange them into a sculpture.
Art before integration.
7. Letting the Body Speak in Codes
Spasms, tics, breathlessness, erections, tears—
All are transmissions.
Don’t interpret—amplify.
8. Refusing to Heal “Back to Normal”
Schizoanalysis does not restore the pre-trauma self.
Because that self was never free.
Healing is mutation, not return.
9. Making Kin with Nonhumans
The dog, the cloud, the bullet train—they are part of the psyche’s circuitry.
Ask:
“What nonhuman does your desire plug into?”
10. Dancing with the Symptom
The symptom is not an enemy.
It’s a rhythm.
Dance it until it breaks into something new.
11. Holding Silence without Owning It
When the other falls silent—don’t fill it.
Let silence become a surface on which something wild might land.
12. Tuning to Intensity, Not Content
What matters is not what is said, but how much voltage passes through it.
We are intensity workers, not meaning-makers.
13. Sowing Minor Languages
Take the patient’s jargon, stutter, nonsense—
Water it. Let it blossom into poetry.
The minor breaks open the major.
14. Resting on the Edge of Collapse
We sit together on the threshold.
Not to drag them back.
But to see what grows from ruins.
15. Building Machines Together
A schizoanalytic session might end not with a “breakthrough” but a blueprint:
- A writing ritual
- A walking path
- A playlist that undoes the inner fascist
16. Laughing at the End of the World
When nothing makes sense—smile.
Not from nihilism, but from excess.
The grin that says: I am still here. I am still assembling.
✹ Final Note:
These gestures are not rules.
They are movements, tendencies, smoke signals.
Practice them like tai chi, jazz, or sabotage.
Each gesture is a resistance.
Each resistance, a becoming.
Would you like this to accompany the Manual for Schizoanalytic Practice as an appendix? Or to be expanded into a deck of “minor arcana” for schizoanalytic wanderers?
