Gilles Deleuze

Différence et répétition

Difference and Repetition

Chapitre II: La répétition pour elle-même

Chapter II: Repetition for Itself

First paragraph of the chapter.

Deleuze begins with one of Hume's theses regarding repetition. To understand this notion, we need to review Hume's theory of causal relations. We begin with one of his examples.

Some cannot resist fire's seduction. What power does this beauty possess? We reach into it. And we burn. Yet we try again. Touch & Burn. Touch & Burn. Touch & Burn. Touch... AB, AB, AB, A.... Soon our hands become disinclined to touch the fire. As they near it, our minds cannot but invoke the past impressions of heat.

Deleuze, Différence et répétition (Difference and Repetition), Chap 2, first paragraph

------------

Fire's Seduction as Mona dances the trill of peaking round her bends. Her every petition repetitive seducing the forward leap of quantitative loving. Her bowl and accident a sheet remembering the future yet to come,its coming harbinger of its many futured reconnoitering . Welcome to that Sir Peat and of her folding petitioning there is none like love's lively holly

And : The question of speed is important and also very complex. It doesn't mean the first in the race: you can be late through speed. Speed is to be caught in a becoming_ which is not a development or an evolution. One must be like a taxi, queue(ligne d'attente), line of flight, traffic jam, bottleneck, green and red lights, slightly paranoid,brushes with the police. To be an abstract and broken line, a zigzag which glides 'between'. The grass and speed. What you misnamed style just now_ charm or style_ is speed.

And :One only discovers worlds through a long, broken flight.

As for the method of deconstruction of texts I see clearly what it is, I admire it a lot, but it has nothing to do with my own method. I do not present myself as a commentator on texts.

For me, a text is merely a small cog in an extra-textual practice. It is not a question of commenting on the text by a method of deconstruction, or by a method of textual practice, or by other methods; it is a question of what use it has in an extra-textual practice that prolongs the text ..

in Clinical Critical terms as the hat was in the wind

How else?

How else can one write of those things which one doesn't know, or knows badly? It is precisely here that we imagine having something to say. We write only at the frontiers of our knowledge, at the border which separates our knowledge from our ignorance and transforms the one to the other.
Only in this manner are we resolved to write. To satisfy ignorance is to put off writing until tomorrow -or rather, to make it impossible. Perhaps writing was a relation to silence altogether more threatening that that, which is supposed to entertain with death.
