Abstract

This article inquires into the eventuality of a 21st-century writing [[]écriture] faithful to what Deleuze proposes in his text on Nietzsche, which is entitled Nomad Thought: a writing that, in a manner that will be more cinematographic rather than purely scriptural, would achieve a connection between the text and the outside (things, the Cosmos). This approach implies an aesthetic-political stance that places a greater stress on sensibility than traditional political philosophy, since the latter's emphasis lies commonly in the construction of legitimations and meta-stable dynamics such as the game of representative democracy. This eventuality opens up in light of analysis of certain particularities in François Zourabichvili's reading of texts by Deleuze, and Deleuze and Guattari. Against this reading (to which, by proposing literality in syntax as an the main operational mode of these authors' texts, the author of this paper adjudicates the involuntary discovery of an actual danger of madness and suicide in Deleuze and Guattari), and following what is said by Deleuze himself in Nomad Thought, a technical reading that considers text and syntax as elements of an extra-textual montage is presented. This approach would conjure the eventuality of a (philosophical or actual) madness derived from literal assimilation of writing with life, without avoiding the risk that writings such as Deleuze's pose by implying a philosophical and aesthetic vertigo because of their way of relating to the world in order to create new settings.
