Nomadism

A nomadic narrative - A dramaturgy of nomadism as construct, time-space and actionIn A Thousand Plateaus by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, with the subtitle " Capitalism and Schizophrenia" (1980), one of the crucial concepts is nomadism. In terms of (post)structural thinking nomadism is decentred, dynamic, flux and contextual, in which the "singularities" are mutually determined and "brings into play very different regimes of signs, and even nonsign states". (p.21, on Rhizome)
This presentation will focus on narrative and dramaturgy in a cultural performance context, not restricted to the performing arts but also cultural "actions" in a broad sense, "becoming-between love and war" (paraphrasing Guattari, chap.10 in Plateaus)
What happens when we put on nomad spectacles (sic!), and look at a selection of what I call actions, performed in cultural practices like discourse, politics, body, and art? What kind of construct emerges? What moves the perception of time-space?
