Translation: Véronique Bergen's Diagram of the Evolution of Deleuzian Concepts

The following is a translation of a section containing a table of the evolutions of the names of the transcendental field and the operators of differenciating liaisons from L’Ontologie de Gilles Deleuze, Véronique Bergen. Paris: L’Harmattan, 2001. 545-549.

The outbreak of new problems reorients the disposition of the transcendental, of its “schematizing” dramatization and of its actual deployments:

Bergsonism:

–problem of the apprehension of the problematic

–invention of the concept of intensive multiplicities, continuous versus discrete, metrical multiplicities set in the work of the method of intuition reshaping the transcendental space of Duration.

Difference and Repetition:

–problems of a “complex repetition,” of a “free difference” subtracted from identity, and from the rise of a “genital thought.”

–reorientation of the transcendental site in accordance with the concept of integration/differenciation–in short, of actualization/virtualization–via the method of dramatization.

Logic of Sense:

–problem of a conquest of surfaces as the rise of events, of sense, of thoughts.

–reorientation of the transcendental source in accordance with the concept of the empty case as univocal Being and with a serial method of structuralist obedience.

Spinoza and the Problem of Expression:

–problem of an anti-Cartesian structure treating the question of the relation between the finite and the infinite, between cause and effect, reorienting the question of true, adequate ideas.

–reorientation of the virtual site in accordance with the concept of expression (in its ontological, epistemological and ethico-political modalities) and the synthetic method by causation.

A Thousand Plateaus:

–problems of a typology of lines, forces and spaces composing the real, of the rise of an “automata” thought, and of a micropolitics of art, science, and philosophy as life.

–invention of concepts of planomenon, smooth and striated spaces, war machine/state apparatus, tree/rhizome, semiotic regimes, ritournelles and crystals of time.

Foucault:

–triple problem of enunciations and visibilities of knowledge, of forces of power and of the aesthetic becoming of the self.

–creation of concepts of a schematizing diagram of forces, of subjectivation as fold of the Outside, the death of man.

Movement-Image and Time-Image:

–problem of the apprehension of time in the cinema, passage of the indirect image from a time subjected to movement to the direct image of time subordinating itself to a becoming aberrant movement.

–creation of a typology of signs and images explicating this reversal of time subjected to movement in an autonomous time.

The Fold:

–problems of the emergence of the new, of the event, of the soul/body relation, of the bond between the expressed and expression.

–creation of concepts of the fold carried to the infinite, of incompossibles and divergent series of the neo-baroque.

What Is Philosophy?

–problem of thought arranging itself to chaos.

–invention of the concept of the triple Chaoide, philosophy, art and science, of their planes, agents and operators.
