Abstract

Among arts, music occupies a singular place in Deleuze’s thought. While Deleuze devotes independent works to literature, cinema and painting, he approaches music in a much more mediated manner. A whole series of philosophical problems that are not directly related to music determine his encounter with it. This article aims to interpret how Deleuze's thought enters into a mediated relationship with music in A Thousand Plateaus, co-written with Guattari. I will show that three problematic axes give the coordinates of this encounter: replacement of representation by becomings, elaboration of the material-forces relationship against the traditional matter-form analysis, and treatment of problems in terms of space instead of time.
