本文将采用德勒兹和瓜塔里的典故，但有见地的著作对“秘密”考虑的秘密在三个相互交织的寄存器或调制：作为内容（秘密），作为形式（秘密），并作为表达（分泌）。将秘密与不断发展的技术中介和社会性模式（分别为口袋，池和等离子体）联系起来，本文通过三个例子来理解秘密的当代运动：Arcade Fire乐队在一个亲密互动的音乐视频中唤起的秘密记忆（作为“口袋”的一个例子）;在机场全身扫描仪的范围内，（如“池”）;最后，集体分泌物饱和并在地球仪周围伸展，如寻求流动性的金融创新所表示的（提供一个角度到“等离子体”）。这三个当代保密的实例是由维基解密的朱利安·阿桑奇和Facebook的马克·扎克伯格的讨论框定的--这对夫妇确实适合我们这个时代：每个人都以自己的方式意图终结秘密。在整个过程中，我们试图保持密切关注正在出现的节奏和不和谐音，这些节奏和不和谐音在半自愿和半强制之间的舞蹈中秘密进行。
This article will take up Deleuze and Guattari’s allusive yet insightful writings on ‘the secret’ by considering the secret across three intermingling registers or modulations: as content (secret), as form (secrecy), and as expression (secretion). Setting the secret in relation to evolving modes of technological mediation and sociality as respectively pocket, pooling, and plasma, the article works through a trio of examples in order to understand the contemporary movements of secrets: the memories of secrets evoked in an intimately interactive music video by the band Arcade Fire (as an example of ‘pocket’); the movements of secrecy turned fabulative in the scopic-doublings of airport full-body scanners (as ‘pooling’); and, finally, the collective secretions that come to saturate and stretch around the globe as expressed by liquidity-seeking financial innovations (providing an angle onto ‘plasma’). These three instantiations of contemporary secrecy are framed by a discussion of Julian Assange of WikiLeaks and Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook – truly a couple for our age: each intent, in their own way, upon bringing an end to secrets. Throughout, we try to maintain close attention to the emerging rhythms and dissonances that engage secrecy in a dance between the half-voluntary and the half-enforced.
