Christian Kerslake The Somnambulist and the Hermaphrodite: Deleuze and Johann de Montereggio and Occultismwww.culturemachine.net/index.php/cm/article/view/243/225"Given that Malfatti's name does not appear ever again in Deleuze's writings, we could be forgiven for thinking that Deleuze's introduction to Malfatti's Mathesis is merely a youthful dalliance with occultism. But occult themes continue to run throughout Deleuze's work: not only does the term 'mathesis' appear at crucial points of Difference and Repetition, along with a weird emphasis on the esoteric use of the mathematical calculus, but his interest in somnambulism, the notion of the world as an egg, the theory of the second birth and the recurring image of the hermaphrodite all refer back to ideas found in Malfatti's book. Many ideas that can be traced back to Malfatti's Mathesis resurface in disguise in one of Deleuze's valedictory texts, 'To Have Done with Judgment', published in 1993 in Critique et Clinique." "Could the esoteric theory of mathesis found in Malfatti's Anarchy and Hierarchy be the key that unlocks the mystery of Deleuze's avowedly 'esoteric' use of the calculus in Difference and Repetition? There Deleuze explicitly says that there is a mathesis universalis that corresponds to his theory of Ideas (Deleuze 1968: 181; 190). Strangely, Deleuze's admission that his interest lies in 'the esoteric history of differential philosophy' (ibid, 170) has been overlooked. " |

Keith Ansell Pearson Spectropoiesis and Rhizomatics: Learning to Live with Death and Demonsdeleuze.tausendplateaus.de/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/deleuze-and-demons.pdf"Repetition needs to be freed from the material or physical model of a merely 'brute repetition' that Deleuze holds it gets trapped in with Freud's positing of the death-drive and which posits a straightforward desire to regress, or involute, to an earlier, inorganic state of things" "For Deleuze this is repetition: not as regression but as originary difference, announcing not the return of the repressed (the past) but the evil spirits of the alien future; or rather, the time of Aion as opposed to the time of Chronos. This is the time of the Event (the time of eternal return)." |
