What is a body without organs?
D&G say that the BwO is full—full in the sense that it is a blank surface without the interconnected functions or parts that organs would be. It is full precisely because it lacks any depth or differentiation.
D&G claim that the body suffers from being organized in a triangulated fashion, but the ‘full’ BwO is the unproductive, the sterile, the unengendered, the unconsumable, without an image. This is not an organless body, but body without organization, or the deterritorialized body; an interconnected system of flows and forces. Without organs this body has no means of production. It belongs to the realm of “anti-production” (AO, 8).
