Abstract

This paper proposes an itinerary through the Deleuzian philosophy, in the attempt to highlight how Deleuze enacts a continuous process of regeneration and reassemblage of the philosophical canon (as well as of the artistic, scientific and literary tradition). In particular, the analysis will focus on the Deleuzian notion of intensity and resemantization as semiotic dispositives. Ultimately, the article will illustrate how the Deleuzian philosophy is itself subject to continuous practices of intensive resemiotization in its constitutive openness to other disciplines.
