| Sumario: | This paper characterises Deleuze and Guattari's conception of the majoritarian subject in A Thousand Plateaus as a particular - and inevitably transitory - manifestation of sexed and gendered subjectivity emerging with late capitalism from the always mutating flows of creative life and suggests that their notion of the schizo or nomadic subject can inspire feminist solutions to the impasses posed by contemporary forms of sexed, gendered, and sexual identity. Feminism can thus be conceived as a schizoanalytic practice that fosters the kind of alternative subjects for which Deleuze and Guattari call: subjects that move beyond oppressive self-other relations towards a form of subjectivity that can welcome differences as well as the differentiating force of life itself.
