Abstract

I extend the concept of nomad citizenship to individuals and groups operating within already-existing institutions. This extension is necessary because addressing ‘the Anthropocene’ will require not just social-movement war-machines but also intervention in and by states and other established institutions. I take as my point of departure Althusser's extended analysis of the ideological function of state apparatuses, expanding it beyond state apparatuses to institutions in general. Re-engineering Althusser through Deleuze and Guattari will require jettisoning his notion of ideology and rewriting his conceptions of both subjectivity and the mode of production.
