Desiring machines and the sex of plants.

Abstract

This paper connects the concept of desiring machines, as it appears in Deleuze and Guattari’s Anti-Oedipus, to the sex of plants, which Deleuze had already used on Proust and Signs, to relate his philosophy to Guattari’s concept of transversality. In this context, this text argues with Preciado’s understanding of Deleuze and Guattari’s molar homosexuality, stating that this concept points toward trans and countersexuality, more than to the bipolarity between hetero and homosexuality.
