One’s private space is limited by my senses, remembrances
and knowledge. It coexists with a myriad of different and
private spaces in a process of continuous overlapping. These
spaces are inhabited by things and people, which are in
endless movement. Things and people form the shapes which
float in a four dimensional reality. They are residents or
visitors, subjects or objects at the same time. They carry
equal importance although they are different from each
other. The shapes, defined by lines, mark their unstable
positions on slices of space and surfaces of time. (Gosia
Wlodarczak)
For you will yield nothing to haecceities unless you realize
that that is what you are, and that you are nothing but
that. When the face becomes a haecceity: “It seemed a
curious mixture that simply made do with time, weather and
these people.” You are longitude and latitude, a set of
speeds and slownesses between unformed particles, a set of
nonsubjectified affects. You have the individuality of a
day, a season, a year, a life (regardless of its duration)-a
climate, a wind, a fog, a swarm, a pack (regardless of its
regularity). Or at least you can have it, you can reach it.
A cloud of locusts carried in by the wind at five in the
evening; a vampire who goes out at night, a werewolf at full
moon. It should not be thought that a haecceity consists
simply of a decor or backdrop that situates subjects, or of
appendages that hold things and people to the ground. It is
the entire assemblage in its individuated aggregate that is
a haecceity; it is this assemblage that is defined by a
longitude and a latitude, by speeds and affects,
independently of forms and subjects, which belong to another
plane, It is the wolf itself, and the horse, and the child,
that cease to be subjects to become events, in assemblages
that are inseparable from an hour, a season, an atmosphere,
an air, a life. The street enters into composition with the
horse, just as the dying rat enters into composition with
the air, and the beast and the full moon enter into
composition with each other.

A THOUSAND PLATEAUS. page 262)
