In Minoritarian Enunciation and Global Product Culture, artist Julietta Cheung uses Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s linguistic concepts to tease out the creative force of consumption in a globalized economy. Taking Chinese “shanzhai” as a partially subversive intervention–and comparing the pirated, open-source manufacture of Apple products (the “HiPhone”) to fan fiction–Cheung connects the rhizomatic complexities of desire, flows of capital, and the textual conditions of translation. Minoritarian Enunciation and Global Product Culture is an important resuscitation of Deleuzian theory and a level-headed elaboration of how global branding intersects with “ideology,” and technology with popular culture.
Julietta Cheung is a visual artist. She has exhibited at various venues in Europe and the United States.
