ABSTRACT
In the reconciliation, hashtags propose an interesting theory of the allagmatically formatted subject in which one undergoes semiotic change according to the expression of difference-constituting-identity among people. This chapter describes how each graph-style, read as an enunciative assemblage, also brings with it a particular metaphysics of identity and difference upon which this social order and capacity for decision is based. It addresses this aspect in a more comparative way, as an exercise in wondering whether the various rationalist, performative, and empiricist frameworks examined so far exhaust our options for thinking through the production of subjects and objects in graph technique. The chapter compares each graph approach as a product of this doubling moment of content and expression, form and substance. It suggests some benefits and drawbacks of each system while also including a couple of other styles of graph.
