Full Idea
The wasp becomes part of the orchid's reproductive apparatus at the same time as the orchid becomes the sexual organ of the wasp. …There are becomings where a man and an animal only meet on the trajectory of a common but asymmetrical deterritorialization.
Gist of Idea
A meeting of man and animal can be deterritorialization (like a wasp with an orchid)
