ABSTRACT

In relation to the arts of construction, the force of Gilles Deleuze's analyses is manifested in the strict correlation that they establish between the mutation of the architectural diagram and the mutation of the corresponding social formations. From the relation between the two spaces there emerges a multilinear block where monastic architecture and the peregrination characteristic of the Middle Ages intersect. In the last analysis, between the space of the production of the architectural mutations and the direction of a space defining the vectorial space of Europe during the year one thousand, there is consistency and abstract machinic assemblage, despite the fact that these two determine different concrete arrangements. From architecture to psalmody, from psalmody to relics, and from relics to peregrination, an abstract machine is outlined, without any hidden support or principal overhang, and it develops its concrete differentiated assemblages according to the flat dimension of continuous multiplicities.
