Deleuze’s ‘Missing Years’ at Vincennes and Guattari’s Anti-Oedipus Papers
Given the increased online accessibility of Deleuze’s seminars, notably with the Deleuze Seminars project (Purdue University), this essay examines the start of Deleuze’s collaboration with Guattari in 1969 and so-called ‘missing years’ of Deleuze’s teaching, that is, his first semesters teaching at the University of Paris Vincennes campus (1970–1). After consulting Deleuze’s correspondence for details on his activities preceding his appointment a…
Archive Madness, or Still Crazy after Twenty-five Years
This essay’s title is inspired by the Delft conference’s call for papers, specifically on addressing ‘the pragmatics of how [intelligence] happens, who institutes it, and through which technologies it is archived’. This essay addresses how the collective work of developing the Deleuze Seminars archive causes signs to circulate through specific archiving practices with the hope that the results will tend more towards the passional than the paranoi…

Gilles Deleuze's ABCs: The Folds of Friendship
Friendship, in its nature, purpose, and effects, has been an important concern of philosophy since antiquity. It was of particular significance in the life of Gilles Deleuze, one of the most original and influential philosophers of the late twentieth century. Taking L'Abecedaire de Gilles Deleuze-an eight-hour video interview that was intended to be aired only after Deleuze's death-as a key source, Charles J. Stivale examines the role of friendsh…

Deleuzism: A Metacommentary
At the start of his insightful but perplexing and ultimately disappointing study of Gilles Deleuze's philosophical project, Ian Buchanan takes special note of Deleuze's statement, inspired by Melville, that every writer composes two books, one in ink, the other "written in the soul, with silence and blood" (3). This insight inspires Buchanan to find ways to read this "other book" within Deleuze's project by arguing that "some new hermeneutic rela…
[What Are the Questions That Fascinate You?" "What Do You Want to Know?"]: Response
"Deleuze/Parnet in "Dialogues: The Folds of Post-Identity
In 1977, a slim volume appeared in France co-authored by Gilles Deleuze and Claire Parnet entitled Dialogues. This dual authorship continued well-known collaborative critical enterprise that Deleuze had initiated with F6lix Guattari in Anti-Oedipus (1972) and that they subsequently pursued together in Kafka. Toward a Minor Literature (1975), Rhizome: Introduction (1976), A Thousand Plateaus (1980), and finally What Is Philosophy? (1991). In this …
What are the questions that fascinate you? What do you want to know
This question raises the very question of questioning itself and of the relation of fascination to knowledge, to the creation of knowledge, and to the material conditions of its creation. Two sorts of questioning, both practical and speculative, grip me and pull me through. Some practical questions are: What can I do as a teacher for my students? What new tools are available to renew teaching and learning experiences? How do I and we negotiate th…
The Theory Mess: Deconstruction in Eclipse
In this overview of recent developments in theory, Herman Rapaport proposes the following argument: despite the considerable efforts by Jacques Derrida to provide a rigorous and consistent explanation of his philosophical perspectives over the past 40 years, the import of his works has been systematically eclipsed by all but a very few interpreters of his writings, due to combinations of willful ignorance, misprision, and bad faith. To develop a …

Mythologies Revisited: Roland Barthes and the Left
This essay arises from the author's scepticism about the received notion, prevalent both in literary and cultural studies, that Roland Barthes's work of the 1960s constituted an abandonment of the previous decade's social critique. The paper develops the argument that, to the contrary, understanding Barthes's socio-cultural development following World War II and in the French cultural context helps to situate the political engagement of his writi…
‘Becoming-Cajun’
This essay is a reflection on the circumstances that led me to a particular research project, on Cajun dance and music spaces, and also on the project's mutations through subsequent phases of development. Above all, this essay attempts to take stock of the difficulties – personal, scholarly, and theoretical – as well as the personal choices that have gone into developing an ongoing scholarly project. While I indicate the importance of the experie…

"The Literary Element in "Mille Plateaux: The New Cartography of Deleuze and Guattari
Twelve years have passed since Gilles Deleuze and F6lix Guattari shocked the French intelligentsia with their provocative assault on the systems of structuralist, psychoanalytic, and political signification in L'Anti-Oedipe: Capitalisme et Schizophrinie I.1 While their subsequent works go virtually untranslated2 and have inevitably been judged as outmoded in Parisian circles, Deleuze and Guattari have continued elaborating the system of schizo-an…

The historical crisis of psychology coincides with the moment when it was no longer possible to maintain a certain position: this position consisted of placing images in consciousness and movements in space.' In consciousness, there would only be qualitative, unextended images. In space, there would only be extended, quantitative movements. But how would it be possible to pass from one order to the other? How could one explain that movements migh…

Nomad Love and the War-Machine: "Michel Tournier's "Gilles et Jeanne
IN THE SECTION OF MICHEL TOURNIER'S intellectual autobiography, Wind Spirit, entitled The Mythic Dimension, Tournier reminisces about association with Gilles Deleuze at the Lyc~e Carnot in the early 1940s: All the tired philosophy the curriculum passed through him and emerged unrecognizable, but rejuvenated, with a undigested, taste that we weaker, lazier minds found disconcerting and repulsive (128). This perspective the Deleuzian fresh, undiges…
Mille/Punks/Cyber/Plateaus: "Science Fiction and Deleuzo-Guattarian "Becomings
By the late twentieth century, our time, a mythic time, we are all chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism; in short, we are cyborgs. The cyborg is our ontology; it gives us our politics. The cyborg is a condensed image of both imagination and material reality, the two joined centers structuring any possibility of historical transformation. Donna Haraway, A Manifesto for Cyborgs

"Spaces of Affect": Versions and Visions of Cajun Cultural History
During the midto late-1980s, things Cajun and Creole became hot, in the conjoined senses of spicy and popular, most notably in cuisine and music, so much so that various companies fought during the decade's final years to employ Cajun and zydeco rhythms and images as background for advertising products as diverse as motor vehicles, fast-food chains, laundry detergent, and potato chips.' That this trend has run its course became evident in the hyp…
