Similarly, Deleuze redefines "repetition." It is not the mechanical, mundane return of the same event (e.g., repeating a habit), but rather a "complex repetition" associated with displacement and disguise.

The intrinsic, intensive, and productive power of "becoming". Difference and Repetition

A naive view that the same event occurs twice. Similarly, Deleuze redefines "repetition

In Difference and Repetition , Gilles Deleuze launches a radical critique of Western metaphysics, arguing that philosophy has historically subordinated "difference" to "identity" and "representation." Deleuze proposes a reversal of this structure, advocating for an ontology where difference exists in-itself, independent of pre-defined concepts or subjects. By analyzing repetition not as a mechanical return of the same, but as a productive force creating novelty, this paper outlines how Deleuze shifts focus from being to becoming , from representations to intensive singularities. 1.

These singularities are not yet physical objects, but they contain the genetic, virtual power that produces physical, actualized differences in the world. 3. Repetition: A Creative Force
