Search on Deleuze Melville brings up interesting, but brief, Feb 28 2005 translation of 2002 _Magazine Litteraire_ interview with Jacques Ranciere at http://blog.urbanomic.com/dread/archives/2005/02/20th_century_sp.html where Ranciere claims that Deleuze "fulfills the destiny of what I call the 'aesthetic regime' of art, a regime that wants to break with the representative tradition... a regime in which this free will is always bound to something like the weight of the unconscious, of the passive, the involuntary... it must be represented in its turn, allegorized, made into a scene...Deleuze would supress all representative traits in favour of material traits of expression; but in reality, it is ultimately the former which give their principle to the latter". But, 'roger' comments on the above blog, "Is Deleuze's work really concerned to fulfill the destiny of the aesthetic, or does it simply unilaterally move, not to the negation of representation, but to another schematic altogether, composed of lines of escape, passages, doublings, and bodies without organs" (which, in answer to someone's question, are the interactive subjectivities through which bodies with organs play their tunes ;) At http://foucault.info/pipermail/foucault-l/1998-January/003796.html John S Ransom notes that in his book on Foucault, Deleuze says: "thinking in terms of moving lines was the process put forward by Herman Melville, and this involved fishing lines and lines of descent which could be dangerous, even fatal"... mark and it looks like Mary Bryden has an article, "Deleuze and Anglo-American Literature: Water, Wahles, and Melville" in J.Khalfa (ed.) _An Introduction to the Philosophy of Gilles Deleuze_ (London: Athlone/Continuum, 2003) pp 105-113.. _______________________________________________ List address: deleuze-guattari-AT-driftline.org Info: http://lists.driftline.org/listinfo.cgi/deleuze-guattari-driftline.org Archives: www.driftline.org
