It is crucial for the fate of individuals as well as peoples that culture begin in the right place…the right place is the body, gestures, diet, physiology, everything else follows from this…

Memories of a Haecceity. A body is not defined by the form that determines it nor as a determinate substance or subject nor by the organs it possesses or the functions it fulfills. On the plane of consistency, a body is defined only by a longitude and a latitude: in other words the sum total of the material elements belonging to it under given relations of movement and rest, speed and slowness (longitude); the sum total of the intensive affects it is capable of at a given power or degree of potential (latitude). Nothing but affects and local movements, differential speeds.
Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guatarri, Mille Plateaux, P. 260. -
