    • Even the most elementary observation that the Internet processes writing rather than speech doesn't seem to prevent anyone from seizing on the Internet as a resurrection of the power of free speech to grant universal access to the polity for all members of the linguistic community. It's not so much that the Internet cannot transport spoken messages (of course, it can, but that the old dream of a linguistic community of individuals present to each other in language cannot help being a reduction and neutralisation of the virtual. It would be necessary to add some historical background on the emergence of conjunction between language, literacy and culture in the early modern epoch in order to flesh out this assertion.

    • Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, What is Philosophy? tr. Graham Burchell, and Hugh Tomlinson (London: Verso Books, 1994), p. 157. Deleuze and Guattari invoke dead-time as central to the independence of the event from real states of affairs in which it is 'actualised'. In other words, dead-time is crucial to the problem of thinking about how any becoming takes place. As part of their thinking of concepts as events, the notion of dead-time would also apply to that event-entity we are concerned with here: virtual culture, with its components of archive drive and real-time process. If becoming-virtual constitutes an event, then dead-time would refer to the way in which different components interact or communicate within a meanwhile or entretemps that is not lived by any subject and that is not functionally described by a system that manages the relations between variables. In other words, this entretemps or dead-time falls neither within the lived experience of virtual culture, nor in the complex series of state transitions that functionally determine the technological operations of the information networks. The eventuality of an event does not occur in lived or realtime, but in the awaiting and reserve that is unlivable yet crucial to becoming. In short, in order to think of virtual culture as something other than another instrument in the service of already constituted selves, it must be thought of as an event that co-ordinates heterogeneous components in a temporality that is not simply lived, nor simply real. The methodological insight that this version of dead-time offers is this: if we try to think of the advent of some entity, we should do so not in terms that simply accept the given relation between life and death, but in a way that considers the way in which the different components of an event pass through this entretemps or dead-time that makes them cohere as a becoming.
