10. Look at this antenna of television as it is ... it is rigid
but it is oriented; we see that it looks into the
distance, and that it can receive [signals] from an
emitter far away. For me, it appears to be more than
a symbol; it seems to represent a gesture of sorts,
an almost magical power of intentionality, a
contemporary form of magic. In this encounter
between the highest place and the nodal point,
which is the point of transmission of
hyperfrequenies, there is a sort of “co-naturality”
between the human network and the natural
geography of the region. It has a poetic dimension,
as well as a dimension having to do with
signification and the encounter between
significations.

15. Episteme

16. [Episteme is a] strategic dispositif which
allows the selection, among all possible
enunciations, of those that will be
acceptable within [...] a field of scientificity
of which one can say: this is true or false.

la sexualite)’, in Dits et Écrits III (Paris: Gallimard, 1994), 297–329:
