Resumen
Describing creative activity undertaken by researchers and co-researcher survivors in the context of the Recounting Huronia project, this paper extends existing literature on Deleuze & Guattari and disability arts by exploring how artistic activity provides opportunities for escape from the constraints of what Deleuze and Guattari (1987) describe as the three central strategies by which restrictive systems capture bodies, namely the stratifications of ?the organism, signifiance, and subjectification.? Examined in this paper are the specific ways in which one survivor?s involvement in storybook making, poetry, and performance lead to the bundle ?percepts? and ?affects? in such a way as to generate what Deleuze and Guattari (1994) describe as artistic ?monuments.? Far from being constituted by fixities, such monuments provide key pathways for potentially liberatory disarticulations of the restrictive organism, for experimentation in the face of limiting signifiance, and new individuations beyond institutionally coded subjectifications.
