| Yhteenveto: | The Politics of Gilles Deleuze and the Random Materialism of the Late
Althusser
A cursory reading of the writings of the late Althusser in which the philosopher
attempts to devise a « random materialism » might lead us to regard them as the matrix
from which a number of post-structuralist conceptions of politics, including that of Gilles
Deleuze, have sprung. Our intention in the present article is to demonstrate the partial
nature of such a filiation. To do so, the article focuses on the relationship between the late
Althusser and the Deleuzean conception of politics. It will thus examine the refusal,
common to both philosophers, to elaborate a totalising theory of the political and their
concomitant invocation of a principle of contingency. Such an affinity should not
however disguise the differences between Althusser and Deleuze with regard to the
manner in which the actualisation of such a programme is to be envisaged. |
