Abstract
Diagrammatics is a rigorous four-part process for instigating dramatic social change through minor shifts in the structuration of social formations of knowledge, power, and intensity. By intensively reading only four pages in the fifth plateau of A Thousand Plateaus, and tying together a new constellation of concepts from throughout the writings and lectures of Foucault, Deleuze, and Guattari, I develop a loose methodology for reading the social strata and finding a way to shift things around, so that old social formations can be thrown to the sky, the aleatory peak of a Nietzschean dice throw, and then return to the table of the earth so that new patterns of behavior can be produced and actualized.
