Beyond Development and Morality 159moment in which meaning is suspended and put into motion. This liminal
moment is why such a stuttering has a morphological effect on the process
of subjectification. It calls into the question the dominant overcoding of the
order-word in producing who we imagine ourselves to be. This moment
between meanings has a similar morphological capacity at the level of
subjective formation as the more-than-human formations at the ontological
level. It re-orders the elements that comprise our descriptions of ourselves.
The suggestion by Stockton (2009) that “odd lingerings, wayward
paths, and fertile delays” might interrupt the orderly teleological progress
of psychological models of development implies a similar stutter in the
process of neo-liberal subjectification. The process of growing sideways
has the possibility of reordering the speed, direction, and intensity of
capitalist overcoding, causing it to stutter. Such a shift and rupture in the
code of capital may well create a rift into which the actuality of material,
ontological materialist phenomenological experience, might flow. This
flow of living force is precisely the cathectic operation that recomposes
those elements of spacetimemattering functioning as free radicals in the
immediate environment of the event. Guattari (1995) suggests that there
needs to be a “partial object” laying unfulfilled within the array of
dominant signifiers. This partial object must be directly related to the
advancement of mutant desire. This partial object “operates as a point of
entry into a different incorporeal universe. A point around which a
different kind of subjectivity might crystallize” (O’Sullivan, 2009, p. 249).
In growing sideways, the stuttering of time creates a pause into which
an alternative apprehension of the world that lies between the code might
become phenomenologically available. Such an apprehension may well
have the capacity to reconfigure psychology in such a way as to rethink
cognition, behavior, and the self in ways we have not yet imagined. As
Deleuze (1995) notes about the impact and power of the overcoding of our
lives under twenty-first-century capitalism:
Maybe speech and communication have become corrupted. They’re
thoroughly permeated by money – and not by accident but by their very
nature. Creating has always been something different from
