Estetica e morfologia in Gilles Deleuze
Abstract
In an attempt to reconcile the aesthetic, meant as the theory of the conditions of sensible experience, with the Aesthetics, a reflection on art and beauty, Gilles Deleuze proposes a sui generis aesthetics that traces a diffused topology of the real, crossing Being and Thinking as the proper modality of heterogenesis, of the processes of individuation. The polemical target is the paradigm of representation, opposed to Deleuze’s metaphysics of chaos in which the central notion of formation (inherited from Simondon) is expressed through the concepts of rhythm, refrain and diagram, in a dynamism between the actual and the virtual that draws important lines of continuity between the mechanisms of artistic production and biological individuation. Deleuze’s aesthetics is indeed an aesthetics of immanence, a continuous emission of singularities from a single plane, a perpetual and imperceptible poiesis.
