The schizos of the broken circle breakdown
pp. 81-94
The Broken Circle Breakdown is a story of love and loss. Here I develop a nomadic reading by exploring what Deleuze called the singularity of "A Life." In this schizoanalytic venture, I dwell on what is "hillbilly" culture outside the city of Ghent where Bluegrass music provides a way to develop Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the ritournelle (in Thousand Plateaus). I try to problematize the usual notion of vitalism as becoming and show that "A Life" refers to a "passive vitalism" that cannot be controlled, its intensities capable of changing identity formations and forcing assembly changes.
