Abstract

The meaning of politics in Gilles Deleuze’s ethico-aesthetic functionalism

The purpose of this text is to discuss the concept of ethical-aesthetic functionalism insofar as it makes it possible to defend a notion of politics, based on Deleuze’s work, that escapes characterizations of his philosophy as conservative or politically impotent. After a very brief introduction to the problem, we present the concept of repetition, especially as it appears in Qu'est-ce que fonder? (1956-1957), Différence et répétition (1968) and other early Deleuzian works. Next, we demonstrate how repetition and other Deleuzian concepts relate to the notion of functionalism, based in particular on the texts L'anti-Oedipe (1972), by Deleuze and Guattari, and Deleuze et le possible (de l'involontarisme en politique), by François Zourabichvilli (1998). Finally, we demonstrate how the combination of the concepts presented and developed gives consistency to the concept of ethico-aesthetic functionalism in the context of Deleuzian politics.
