wot's _molar_ intended to mean in THIS context? [Judy P]
<snip>
Molar? Think of dispersion, as of an infusion in a liquid: so many moles of
such-and-such dispersed within a litre of whatever. Whereas molecular
behaviour is discrete and combinatory (we're all members of this particular
List) molar behaviour is continuous and massive (fear of Vile Boris, now
he's on a diet, runs quite high within this List). *Molecular v molar*, in
other words, is one of those useful pairs, like *wave v particle*,
*synchronic v diachronic* and so forth.
At some point, Guattari got hold of this notion and mentioned it to Deleuze.
Or possibly vice versa.
