This conceptual paper focuses on writing in the cramped spaces of the thousand disciplinary plateaus. It inquires into the cramped conditions that enable the production of a new language through spacing-making. Taking up Deleuze and Guattari’s (1975/1986) use of the phrase ‘cramped spaces’ in their discussion on Franz Kafka’s minor literature, this paper offers ways to think about writing in spatial terms. It suggests that post-qualitative writing that tries to dislocate from disciplinary plateaus, moves beyond drawing on multiple disciplines, towards disciplinary deterritorializations, diagramming, and rummaging. The paper draws on philosophy, literature, medicine, geography, ecology, and art, to draw a series of lines with which to think about writing in cramped spaces.
