hi, my first post.
my answer to you: i'ts what you want it to be.
unless you need to follow someones agenda and therefore need to kiss the
french deconstructionalists derriers.
i'm not against deleuze, derrida, foucault, etc... 
i just think it should be satisfying, it's an art not a job like
linguistics or analytical logic.
even if your processes are based on some kind of equation at some point
there is  some kind of essence from the force that is moving it to be. 
if it's not your cup of tea, put it aside and create in a more satisfying
way for you.

otoh, when i read' kafka minor literature'  it makes me a bit nauseous.
i bet most of these literary critics have done wittgenstein, and in their
heart of hart's know they can't hack it at that level, so they piss anyone
else they can.
they do a good job at it i must confess.   nevertheless, as the saying
goes: 'somebody has to write the songs.'
