Throughout their careers, Deleuze and Guattari also engaged with a myriad of disciplines; yet they declared themselves that “Philosophy is not interdisciplinary”. This apparent contradiction has rarely been explicitly confronted by scholars. Fortunately, however, Deleuze and Guattari left us a number of clues in their works signaling how to approach this apparent impasse.
These clues amount to a complex and penetrating, if un-unified, theory of disciplinarity and cross-disciplinary articulation. Energized by recent developments in critical transdisciplinarity studies, this volume analyzes and evaluates instances of disciplinarity and transdisciplinarity within Deleuze and Guattari's shared and respective bodies of work.
The first volume in English specifically devoted to examining Deleuze and Guattari's work using this framework, this book both contributes to the field of critical transdisciplinarity studies and in doing so helps shed light on the heart of Deleuze and Guattari's intellectual project.

In so doing, he offers a new, integrated reading of Deleuze's The Logic of Sense (1969) by understanding it as a 'psychoanalysis of sense', and gives a new interpretation of Deleuze's conception of philosophy itself. The Psychoanalysis of Sense shows that Deleuze was not merely aware of the debates animating the Lacanian School during the 1960s: he sought to contribute to them. Emphasising his appropriation of the work of post-Lacanian Serge Leclaire, Collett shows how Deleuze constructed a more singular and immanent theory of the linguistic structure of the unconscious--granting the erogenous body a larger structuring role.

In this article, I will argue that we can nonetheless extract a definite line of argumentation serving a precise political end if we relate the text back to Foucault's mid-1970s output on power/knowledge. In particular, I will emphasise Deleuze and Guattari's appropriation of the Foucaultian notion of dispositif (apparatus) via their concept of the assemblage, the former being understood as a concrete articulation of lines of power, knowledge and subjectivation, as well as the Foucaultian ‘diagram’, the latter being a more abstract or indeterminate stage of the dispositif whose relative indeterminacy, for Deleuze and Guattari, offers a means of escape. I will show that, making room for the assemblage's opening back onto the relative indeterminacy of its generative stages, the assemblage incorporates into itself a more immanent alternative to the dispositif that is focused on collective desire rather than power, within which resistance becomes a primary and generative dimension rather than a counter-attack. In the first section, I will outline Foucault's approach to power, knowledge and subjectivation, emphasising Deleuze's reading of Foucault though without trying to overdetermine my reading in this way. Next, I will turn to the Foucaultian diagram. In the third section, I will focus on A Thousand Plateaus, demonstrating how the notion of assemblage developed in this text responds to and builds upon Foucault's approach to power/knowledge and subjectivation in order to reconceive resistance.

The concept of the refrain is no exception. More- over, the following notes outline how this concept can be seen to concentrate and summarize Deleuze’s philosophical development after his encounter with Guattari. This can be summed up with the formula “refrain = expression + territory”. This means that Deleuze’s univocal ontology of expression – the single Event speaking all events – is compromised as global structure, now favouring instead the concrete analysis of assemblages operating as nontotalizable multiplicities. A decidedly practical “logic of multiplicities” tied to inter- and intra-territorial relations replaces a generalized ontology of force wedded solely to the expressive principle of eternal return. Through this “logic”, Deleuze and Guattari trace a line from territorial animals to art and the con- temporary demand for “self-”expression. In doing so, they fundamentally alter Deleuze’s earlier reading of Nietzsche, subtracting the eternal return (as the being of force) from the practical con- struct. Through the refrain, it is now the practical construct that constructs itself as the being of force. Yet, as concept, the refrain’s tendency toward self-transcendence nonetheless sits uneasily with the subtractive character of practical multiplicities – this irresolvable tension between con- cept and construct lying at the heart of Deleuze and Guattari’s own collaboration. [Correction: The first sentence of note 9. should read: 'In 1980, Deleuze and Guattari rejected the thesis that the being of forces is thought not made.']

(1994 [1991]), we should consider their philosophical ontology as both pre-established and ultimately indifferent to concrete political considerations. By examining the disciplinarity of philosophy in Deleuze and Guattari, in its dynamic relation to extra-philosophical domains, this article shows that far from constituting an obstacle to the development of political critique, an irreducible conception of philosophy as a discipline, rather, conditions such critique. The article explores this point with regard to the difference between history and becoming in Deleuze and Guattari's work, and in terms of the shift that takes place in their work from a structuralist to a machinic philosophical ontology.

In the conclusion, some tentative comments are made regarding how May '68 and the neoliberal response to it could be better understood in terms of the framework of a post-Marxist "becoming-minor" derived from Deleuze and Guattari's second iteration of their literary symptomatology.

As indicated by the title of the re-release, the album's prescience has taken twenty years to unfold. What I argue is that its relevance today and importance given our current political situation can be traced back to a logic of sensation operative in the work and training its sights on what Deleuze and Guattari call 'communication' or 'control societies'. To resist the global extension of the latter, it is incumbent upon art, as the discipline that thinks through sensation not communication, to construct a new or counter-earth. The album achieves this, I argue, by staging and enacting a becoming-moth. This becoming-moth is targeted precisely at the forces recoded as data in the 'dividual' of control societies, which this becoming materialises as sensation and, more fundamentally, which it expresses as a cosmic event or inorganic life.

Though this is only one possible genealogy. In the first section I offer a reading of Frege as a Kantian which anticipates Lacan and Jacques-Alain Miller’s appropriation of Frege, dealt with in the second section. I will show that Frege’s logic presupposes a transcendental subject and that the subject it presupposes it not identical with itself. This forms the core argument of the paper. In the second section I refer to Lacan’s logic of the signifier directly and explain how it accounts for key features of Frege’s (Kantian) logic whilst developing a psychoanalytic or enunciative logic which I sketch out. I reconstruct this logic from a number of arguments scattered throughout Lacan’s writings and seminars, as well as from Miller’s “The Suture (elements of the logic of the signifier)”. Finally, in this article I repeatedly emphasise the point that for Kant, Frege, and Lacan the subject of logic is the object (a), which is indeed the subject objectified.

Peirce's posthumous reception has been dominated by an emphasis on his semiotic typologies, a careful reading of his work reveals a tension between process and structure that is already present in his early writings and is consistently expressed in his philosophy as a problem of method. Peirce offers a genuine alternative to a structuralist semiology by freeing the sign from the scientific aspirations of linguistics and casting its study as an experimentation with its effects across processually defined semiotic manifolds. This approach to the Peircean diagram is further explored with regard to Guattari’s critique of structuralist psychoanalysis. In both Peirce and Guattari, it is argued that a (trans)disciplinary methodology is employed understood as the de-modeling of closed structures.

Deleuze’s approach to philosophy’s disciplinarity and practical basis is analyzed by examining his conception of philosophical immanence as well as his reading of Spinoza. It is shown that if Deleuze’s ‘expressive’ conception of philosophical immanence undergoes a critique in his collaborative work with Guattari, a notion of philosophical disciplinarity survives this critique in Deleuze’s last works and forms the basis for a new political philosophy going beyond his earlier collaborative work with Guattari.

The chapter examines art’s role in effecting a shift from the first to the second of these frameworks, pushing Deleuzian philosophical immanence further towards a genuinely immanent, as well as fully transdisciplinary, conception of the relation between thought and being.

In the first part I locate the origins of Deleuze's onto-logic of sense in his cross-reading of Nietzsche and Spinoza - his so-called "Spinoza-Nietzsche identity". I show how in his reworking of both philosophers, Deleuze's primary aim is to arrive at a conception of immanence - understood as the absolutely equal articulation of thinking/being - irreducible to the forms of God and Man. I also emphasise the theme of "construction" as a key to understanding Deleuze's early interpretation of Spinoza, demonstrating in this regard how Deleuze's aim is to bypass the distinction between epistemology/ontology by requiring that the absolute (immanence) be constructed by non-human thought.
In the second part I provide an account of the theory of language acquisition - the so-called "dynamic genesis" - found in The Logic of Sense (1969), and show how Deleuze develops a novel reading of the structure of both the unconscious and, connected with this, of the proposition. I demonstrate how the book applies the ontology, or onto-logic, outlined in the first part of the thesis to the domain of language.

This is eminently true of May 68 in France: it has been an event for "Theory." However, its theoretical implications have been too often obfuscated by hasty interpretations that projected on it some vague Zeitgeist aptly coined "68 Thought." In order to avoid such simplifications, we need to get back to the perception of the actors of the time and to how they themselves identified those theoretical stakes. It so happens that they in part were conflated with the reception of "structuralism." The article will patiently try to understand how such abstract theoretical constructions could be deemed at stake in the social and political commotion of those two months.

This stream aims to develop a meaningful path through three of the main topics in Deleuze, from the point of view of our philosophical and political present: Life, Control, Acceleration. Through this path it will become possible to describe the adventures of Life as immanence in a way capable of dealing with both the dramatic actualizations of control societies and the anthropomorphization of the very Earth, which leads to the so-called Anthropocene as a completion of Nietzschean nihilism through hyper-industrialized capitalism. It is precisely in that " geological " era, dangerously shaped by a hegemonic model of the " human " , that a wide set of Deleuzian concepts may allow us not only to criticize the present world (as neo-liberal, polluting, cruel, anthropocentric, etc.), but to imagine a future world in which to believe, a world no longer either anthropocentric or white-western-male, as is the basis of financial totalitarianism. But in order to avoid the risk of confining Deleuze's concepts within a useless rhetorical dimension – that is, repetition without difference – these concepts must be extracted from the contingency of our reality and thrust towards the creation of new, multiple differences. From such a perspective, concepts, such as becoming, immanence, virtuality, quasi-causality, event, haecceitas, difference and nomadology, will be drawn into a constellation with a set of ongoing processes that threaten all the qualities and things most loved by Deleuze: affects, thinking, desire, singularity, animals and the Earth.

In this special issue, La Deleuziana would like to pursue this hypothesis by integrating into new questions arising from the philosophical and ecological literature on the Anthropocene. With the advent of the Anthropocene in philosophical discourse, conceptual work needs to be done to rethink and extend the relation between the earth and thought, a new ecological thought that neither fetishises nature nor simply cancels it out of the equation. Geopower would be the alternative concept to think not of the age of the human (Anthropocene) but the birth of new powers that attack the strata. Nature is a battlefield composed of geophysical, geohistorical, geoeconomic, geophilosophical and geo-fictional forces. We lack a critique of geocapitalism.

We are pleased to present you with a quadrilingual issue, with a dozen contributions from several new and regular contributors. Following our habits, this issue also offers translations of significant texts in relation to the call for papers and even includes original images as a precursor of the forthcoming 6th issue. This fifth issue of La Deleuziana edited by Jean-Sébastien Laberge focuses on a multiplicity of problematics related to the refrains as powerful war machines in their relationship with the Earth, issues that find (alarming) relevance in the current state of affairs. In this sense, our interest in the Earth-Refrain War Machines aims to offer us a better understanding of the conjunctures which are ours as to release ways of future outings which do not overlook the past potentialities. How to trace issues to our aporia without worsening the situation, how to follow the lines of flights that pass through us without falling, despite us, into even more closed and segmented territories? To repeat Foucault's famous formula from his preface to the American translation of Anti-Oedipus: what would today be an introduction to non-fascist life?

In effetti, e nel suo rapporto con i fatti, quale politica potrebbe dichiararsi esente dal ricorso a leitmotivs o patterns propri di ciascun’epoca, tanto visivi quanto auditivi, come strumento della loro manipolazione? Tutte le difficoltà nell’analisi di tale rapporto risiedono senza dubbio nella capacità di non lasciarsi ingannare dalla sua apparente semplicità. Analizzare la rivendicazione di un rapporto diretto coi fatti corrisponde al liberarsi dalla loro apparente immediatezza, destinata a mobilizzare, grazie al suo incidere sul piano dell’identificazione e dell’adesione a parole d’ordine, coloro ai quali si rivolge. Ma è anche, allo stesso tempo, il tentativo di mettere a distanza, al fine di renderla concettualmente visibile, la propensione di ogni politica a figurarsi, attraverso artifici di mascheramento, i fatti di una data epoca così come storicamente e geograficamente situati. In questa prospettiva, si riconosce a Deleuze e Guattari il merito di aver formato un concetto di ritornello utile ai fini di tale analisi (Deleuze, Guattari; 1980, 1991. Guattari; 1979). Irriducibile ai suoi utilizzi riterritorializzanti, reazionari e antidemocratici (Dantec; 2001. Rancière; 2005), tale concetto, se compreso in profondità, invita a fuggire le idee prestabilite tanto sulla musica, quanto sulla guerra e sulla stessa terra, sia in termini di classe (Lazzarato; 2014), che di razza (Touam Bona; 2016) e di genere (Ronell; 2002).
Deadlines: Si prega di inviare un Abstract (1,500 caratteri) entro il 30 Maggio 2017. Per il testo completo (20,000-50,000 caratteri, spazi inclusi) la data limite è il 30 Luglio 2017.

Dans son rapport aux faits, quelle politique peut donc se dire exempte d’un recours à des leitmotivs ou patterns, tant visuels qu’auditifs, propres à chaque époque et par lesquels elle les manipule ? Toute la difficulté dans l’analyse d’un tel rapport repose sans doute sur la capacité à ne pas se laisser prendre au jeu de son apparente simplicité. Analyser la revendication d’un rapport direct aux faits, c’est se déprendre de son apparence d’immédiateté destinée à mobiliser, sur le mode de l’identification et de l’obéissance à des mots d’ordres, celles et ceux auxquels elle s’adresse. Mais c’est, par là même, chercher à mettre à distance, pour la rendre conceptuellement visible, la propension qu’a toute politique à se figurer, au moyen d’artifices tout en le masquant, les faits d’une époque donnée, historiquement et géographiquement située. Dans cette perspective, il revient à Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari d’avoir formé un concept de ritournelle susceptible d’être utile aux fins d’une telle analyse (Deleuze, Guattari; 1980, 1991. Guattari; 1979). Irréductible à ses usages reterritorialisant réactionnaires et antidémocratiques (Dantec; 2001. Rancière; 2005), ce concept bien compris invite à fuir les idées reçues sur la musique, la guerre et la terre, tant en termes de classe (Lazzarato; 2014), de race (Bona; 2016) que de genre (Ronell; 2002).
Dates limites: Svp nous faire parvenir un Résumé (1 500 caractères) avant le 30 mai 2017 et le Texte intégral (20 000 – 50 000 caractères, espaces incluses) avant le 30 juillet 2017.

Thus what politics is exempt from an appeal to leitmotifs or patterns, equally aural and visual, specific to each epoch and by which it manipulates them? One’s ability to analyse these relationships undoubtedly depends on one’s ability to resist being caught up in the game’s apparent simplicity. To do so, one must disregard the appearance of immediacy designed to interpellate and subjugate (through order-words) those to whom this appearance is targeted. But to analyse this, and in order to make it conceptually visible, one must keep one’s distance from the propensity of every politician to re-imagine the facts of a given epoch, by means of masked artifices that are both historical and geographic. For the purposes of such an analysis , it may be useful to draw on Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari who formed the concept of the refrain [Ritornello, Ritournelle] (Deleuze and Guattari, 1980, 1991. Guattari, 1979). When properly understood, this concept is irreducible to its reactionary and reterritorialising anti-democratic uses (Dantec, 2001; Rancière, 2005), inviting us to flee from received ideas about music, war and the earth, whether in terms of class (Lazzarato, 2014), of race (Bona, 2016) or of gender (Ronell, 2002).
Deadlines: Please submit your Abstract (1,500 characters) before May 30 2017 and Full text (20,000-50,000 characters, spaces included) are expected July 30 2017.
Dans notre société actuelle, le désir prend la forme d'un monstre à deux têtes. La première tête ... more Dans notre société actuelle, le désir prend la forme d'un monstre à deux têtes. La première tête est la recherche constante de la satisfaction immédiate, que ce soit par la consommation pornographique ou par le jeu des rencontres en ligne ; la seconde est la confiscation systématique du désir qui culmine dans la montée d'un état généralisé de dépression, d'anxiété et de perte d'estime de soi. Alors que la première s'installe dans ce qui pourrait être un aspect particulièrement plaisant des relations interpersonnelles, la seconde se déploie dans une réalité temporelle où les affects tristes prolifèrent au détriment d'un contexte marqué par la déresponsabilisation politique. Ainsi le désir est une bête bien étrange. Elle s'insinue dans les méandres de la vie quotidienne et se mécanise à mesure que nous nous reposons sur des suppléments artificiels. Cependant, le désir peut être compris autrement que comme un objet de possession ou un processus d'identification. Le désir pourrait être envisagé alors comme un espace de potentialités, une rencontre dans l'espace et le temps qui crée des flux et des sensations intangibles. Pour cette raison, le désir est une force multicentrique qui se situe dans le champ liminaire du devenir. Prêter attention au champ dans lequel le désir peut émerger signifie s'écarter de l'interprétation réductrice qui consiste à comprendre le désir soit comme un objet à posséder, soit comme un fantasme à assouvir. À une époque où le futur paraît avoir perdu son potentiel collectif, le désir devient une plateforme interdisciplinaire pour traiter politiquement les questions d'activisme environnemental, de lutte sociale, de résistance intellectuelle et d'engagement artistique. Les enjeux politiques du désir sont ancrés dans notre capacité collective à investir le futur. Alors que le désir a longtemps été abordé à partir d'un cadre théorique partagé entre l'identification et l'objectification, ce numéro spécial pose la question suivante : qu'est-ce qu'un milieu désiré, désirant et désirable ? Les milieux du désir sont le champ à partir duquel des modes coopératifs d'investissement libidinal doivent être cultivés afin que le futur puisse continuer à tenir sa promesse d'un espace commun désirable. Pour cela, cet appel à contributions propose de réfléchir aux champs liminaires du désir dans les sociétés numériques contemporaines. Alors qu'aujourd'hui la majorité des relations sont contrôlées par des plateformes de communication qui transforment les relations à partir d'affordances computationnelles, ce numéro sur le désir souhaiterait interroger l'espace de rencontre nouvellement engendré ainsi que les opérations relationnelles que les structures algorithmiques anticipent pour nous. Ce qui est en jeu dans l'évolution de plus en plus effrénée de notre monde numérique est la possibilité même d'une approche créative, inventive, et par conséquent désirante, qui se saisisse des relations spatio-temporelles propres aux plateformes numériques. Dans ce contexte, et considérant l'importance des nouvelles zones techniques d'intimité dans notre société contemporaine, ce numéro spécial vise à mobiliser des méthodologies et des cadres conceptuels divers, tels que les sciences de la communication et des médias, les arts du spectacle, la philosophie, les études coloniales, mais aussi l'histoire et la psychanalyse, pour nourrir les débats autour de l'importance du milieu désirant, désirable et désiré aujourd'hui. Grâce à l'examen de cet espace liminaire de rencontre, les milieux du désir, nous cherchons à susciter un débat interdisciplinaire sur le champ spatio-temporel à partir duquel divers processus désirants peuvent

The urgency with which our daily lives call for alternatives-both materially and vitally-is in fact without precedent. Yet it is precisely through this articulation between consciousness and its projects, on the one hand, and our intimate animal existence, on the other, that we can start to create[/compose] a collective becoming. This is perhaps the most important lesson Deleuze taught us. What connects us today, globally, is that we are all currently questioning and redefining what in life is useful, essential, necessary, and inalienable. The ease and speed with which all these notions have been rethought globally forces us to consider the following double headed theorem. Firstly, as philosophers of biopolitics have correctly pointed out, on the socio-anthropological plane nothing is immune to the invocation of a state of exception, according to which all preventative measures can be implemented in the name of survival. Secondly, and parallel to this (albeit also in a way opposed), the fear of death comes to take the place of the struggle for survival, a fear that Bataille had precisely defined in terms of the dissolution of the real and of its stability. Following this second line of analysis further, that of an anthropology of fear (as Bataille put it), we discover a radical critique of utility, a falsehood tied to capitalist notions of acquisition and conservation. The inalienable and unproductive dimension of expenditure-that of the dissolution of the order of things-reveals to us the paradoxical foundations and functioning of this order, which is to say of consciousness. By objectifying and traumatically separating itself from the real (and from the real subject), the constituted subject attributes a transcendent status to these illusory socio-politico-economic objects (Law, State, Capital) that only exist relative to itself (and vice versa). On the basis of this movement, the ego which lies at the heart of any genealogy-'as unreal as it is the origin in a Cartesian space' (Bourdieu)-recognises

These clues amount to a complex and penetrating, if un-unified, theory of disciplinarity and cross-disciplinary articulation. Energized by recent developments in critical transdisciplinarity studies, this volume analyzes and evaluates instances of disciplinarity and transdisciplinarity within Deleuze and Guattari's shared and respective bodies of work.
The first volume in English specifically devoted to examining Deleuze and Guattari's work using this framework, this book both contributes to the field of critical transdisciplinarity studies and in doing so helps shed light on the heart of Deleuze and Guattari's intellectual project.

In the first part I locate the origins of Deleuze's onto-logic of sense in his cross-reading of Nietzsche and Spinoza - his so-called "Spinoza-Nietzsche identity". I show how in his reworking of both philosophers, Deleuze's primary aim is to arrive at a conception of immanence - understood as the absolutely equal articulation of thinking/being - irreducible to the forms of God and Man. I also emphasise the theme of "construction" as a key to understanding Deleuze's early interpretation of Spinoza, demonstrating in this regard how Deleuze's aim is to bypass the distinction between epistemology/ontology by requiring that the absolute (immanence) be constructed by non-human thought.
In the second part I provide an account of the theory of language acquisition - the so-called "dynamic genesis" - found in The Logic of Sense (1969), and show how Deleuze develops a novel reading of the structure of both the unconscious and, connected with this, of the proposition. I demonstrate how the book applies the ontology, or onto-logic, outlined in the first part of the thesis to the domain of language.

This stream aims to develop a meaningful path through three of the main topics in Deleuze, from the point of view of our philosophical and political present: Life, Control, Acceleration. Through this path it will become possible to describe the adventures of Life as immanence in a way capable of dealing with both the dramatic actualizations of control societies and the anthropomorphization of the very Earth, which leads to the so-called Anthropocene as a completion of Nietzschean nihilism through hyper-industrialized capitalism. It is precisely in that " geological " era, dangerously shaped by a hegemonic model of the " human " , that a wide set of Deleuzian concepts may allow us not only to criticize the present world (as neo-liberal, polluting, cruel, anthropocentric, etc.), but to imagine a future world in which to believe, a world no longer either anthropocentric or white-western-male, as is the basis of financial totalitarianism. But in order to avoid the risk of confining Deleuze's concepts within a useless rhetorical dimension – that is, repetition without difference – these concepts must be extracted from the contingency of our reality and thrust towards the creation of new, multiple differences. From such a perspective, concepts, such as becoming, immanence, virtuality, quasi-causality, event, haecceitas, difference and nomadology, will be drawn into a constellation with a set of ongoing processes that threaten all the qualities and things most loved by Deleuze: affects, thinking, desire, singularity, animals and the Earth.
In this special issue, La Deleuziana would like to pursue this hypothesis by integrating into new questions arising from the philosophical and ecological literature on the Anthropocene. With the advent of the Anthropocene in philosophical discourse, conceptual work needs to be done to rethink and extend the relation between the earth and thought, a new ecological thought that neither fetishises nature nor simply cancels it out of the equation. Geopower would be the alternative concept to think not of the age of the human (Anthropocene) but the birth of new powers that attack the strata. Nature is a battlefield composed of geophysical, geohistorical, geoeconomic, geophilosophical and geo-fictional forces. We lack a critique of geocapitalism.
This fifth issue of La Deleuziana edited by Jean-Sébastien Laberge focuses on a multiplicity of problematics related to the refrains as powerful war machines in their relationship with the Earth, issues that find (alarming) relevance in the current state of affairs. In this sense, our interest in the Earth-Refrain War Machines aims to offer us a better understanding of the conjunctures which are ours as to release ways of future outings which do not overlook the past potentialities. How to trace issues to our aporia without worsening the situation, how to follow the lines of flights that pass through us without falling, despite us, into even more closed and segmented territories?
