The Body Without Organs
When you will have made him a body without organs,
then you will have delivered him from all his automatic reactions
and restored him to his true freedom. - Anton Artaud
The body without organs is a site of non-coded flows, like the full body of the earth.
The Body without Organs is not productive in the same way desiring machines are; it does not seek connections or new flows. However, its ebbing and flowing, repulsing and attracting nevertheless informs the production of connections. It is the surface upon which uncontrollable desires flow without organization, but with consistency. It is purely virtual and contains all a body’s potential connections and flows.
Stemming from ideas of the body and the unconscious in psychoanalysis, Deleuze and Guattari theorized that since the conscious and unconscious fantasies in psychosis and schizophrenia express potential forms and functions of the body that demand it to be liberated, the homeostatic process of the body is limited by organs. Therefore, the body without organs is the unregulated potential of a body without organizational structures imposed on its constituent parts, operating freely. There are three types of the body without organs; the empty, the full, and the cancerous, according to what the body has achieved.

I wish there were more pride events for disabled and neurodivergent folks. I can’t do the parade anymore because it’s 1) a sensory nightmare and 2) difficult physically even on a good day. Even stuff like drag shows, which I love and enjoy, can be too overwhelming depending where I’m at.
Due mostly to pain flare ups this year, I haven’t gotten to go to a single pride event in my city or the surrounding area. I’m feeling distant from my queer community because the events that are running are either too costly or too inaccessible to me.
But people with chronic illness, chronic pain, disabilities, mental illness, neurodivergence—we still deserve to have community. We deserve to have space to share with our queer community and celebrate ourselves. And it’s just really disappointing that we so rarely get that.
