Abstract

ABSTRACT In the following essay I will propose the oral Deleuze. Something to be added to Deleuze’s written works; a kind of laboratory centred on his never-ending process of thinking. Deleuze, in his lectures and conferences, used to talk about his work-in-progress writings and essays. The first part of this paper deals with the reversal of the idea of subject and how such a reversal is connected to the idea of power and sexuality. In the second part of the essay, I open up a space created by consideration of two oral terms used in some lessons at Vincennes, particularly: ‘Objectile’ and ‘Superject’. I hope that the intertextuality between the four aspects – orality, faciality, sexuality and perspectivism – will appear as clear as possible. Nonetheless, this essay requires a certain effort by the reader and some premises I will list in the introduction. Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Saint Teresa of Avila (the devil and the holy water) will be two cases I will analyze to apply Deleuze’s ideas to literature and life.
