This paper aims at studying the process of subjectivation through the notion of lines in schizoanalysis. According to Deleuze and Guattari, we are formed by three types of lines: (a) hard, (b) malleable and (c) of escape. The hard lines make us by the establishment of social dualities, which stratify us, in the strong sense the term. They are the great divisions of society: rich or poor, worker or bump, normal or pathological, man or woman, cult or incult, white or black, etc. The malleable lines allow variations, causing relative destratification. And the escape lines represent absolute destratification, in the sense that they totally break the limits of the established stratification. The notions of body and desire are crucial for the understanding of such a process.
