Author's note: INSTRUCTIONS TO THE READER:
- The different parts of this intervention into the essay may be read in any order in homage to Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus (1980).
- It may also be diverting for the reader to apply alphabetical and/or numerical filters so as to read each author’s entries as discrete components, thus 1,2,3,4 etc (Francesca Rendle-Short) and A,B,C,D etc (Peta Murray).
- A randomising instrument may also be applied for the experience of the essay willy-nilly.
- The reader need feel no obligation to keep paragraphs or indeed sentences intact.
