Animality in Nick Land's thought or the line of flight towards the unknown

Abstract

This text attempts to trace what Nick Land has said about the animal or animality as a vector of contagion of the unknown or of communication with the outside. To do this, we initially present his reading of Kant as the builder of a theoretical apparatus that prohibits contact with the unknown and the outside. Then, we expose Land's interpretation of some of Trakl's poems and some animal figures that appear in them as forms of possible deterritorializing animal becomings.
