This book is and is not a book about Gilles Deleuze. It is, insofar as its explorations are based on the coordinates established in his works, and it is not, insofar as it does not seek to explain what the author says, but rather uses it as a starting point for reading the present through a reconfiguration of our understanding of language, ontology, and life.

In a world governed by the metaphysics of presence, where the identical, the permanent, and the immutable are sought at all costs, and where the ethics and politics that stem from this pursuit produce statism, fascism, and violence that excludes difference, this book points to some avenues that can be explored to reconfigure and disrupt our understanding of the present. Therefore, taking as its guiding thread the way in which Deleuze works with language throughout his oeuvre, this book presents different kinds of subversions that are necessary to reconfigure thought, the body, becoming, and politics. This is an attempt, stemming from Deleuze's thought, to rebel against the regimes of folly, power, and the impositions delineated by culture. In short, it is an attempt to overturn all these orders and life itself.
