If we imagined constraints of power as an outer circle minus a inner circle of identity, then metamorphosis is along this ring?
Deleuze (1986) identifies two limits to the modern subject: the outer “constraints of power” and the inner consolidation of a fixed identity. Against these, “the struggle for subjectivity presents itself, therefore, as the right to difference, variation and metamorphosis.”pic.twitter.com/Ed6q1FBFVP

Roughly, yes. Identity would be within the ring. Metamorphosis would be the breaching of those barriers, into inner and outer expanses.

So consolidation of identity is an expansion of void inner circle, which can be at most consolidated to coincide with the outer circle (power), making the ring just a line?

Perhaps the circle image breaks down here. Deleuze reiterates throughout Foucault that the inside is a fold of the outside. It’s a question of what form the fold takes, what it connects with, and what it excludes. Here’s one of D’s diagrams:pic.twitter.com/6018FQjxLC
