Abstract

This paper deals with Cervantes’s Don Quijote and Kathy Acker’s punk, postmodern Don Quixote as two “aesthetic objects” that connect with each other across time and textual space in rhizomatic, non-linear fashion, in enriching and challenging ways. It presents an immanent view of these texts, through an engagement with some of the philosophical concepts of Ortega y Gasset, Deleuze & Guattari, and objected-oriented ontology philosophers, Graham Harman, and Levi R. Bryant.
