	Gilles Deleuze's Difference and Repetition
		The difference which may be found in repetition is seen in the play of difference by which repetition may be bare or clothed, covered or uncovered, masked or unmasked, static or dynamic, extensive or intensive, horizontal or vertical, material or spiritual.
		Difference may be mediated or represented by a lack of: 1) identity of concepts, 2) resemblance of perception, or 3) analogy of judgement, or may be mediated by the presence of 4) opposition of predicates.
		Difference and repetition may be objects of representation, but representation can only portray difference and repetition negatively in relation to a concept of sameness.

		As for the repetitive, it is produced precisely at the point where the barely launched mediation falls back on itself; when, instead of saying no, it twice pronounces the same yes, and when, instead of distributing oppositions into a system of definitions, it turns back indefinitely to the same position.
		Differences would revolve of their own accord, being would be expressed in the same fashion for all these differences, and being would be no longer a unity that guides and distributes them but their repetition as differences.
		Difference recurs; and being, expressing itself in the same manner with respect to difference, is never the universal flux of Becoming; nor is the well-centered circle of the identical.

	Nathan Widder / Genealogies of Difference
		Genealogies of Difference combines critical engagements with modern and postmodern theories of identity, difference, contingency, and time with strategic forays into ancient, early Christian, and medieval philosophy.
		Widder addresses the substantial body of theoretical discourse on difference without neglecting the history of political thought or the contemporary criticisms of the tradition.
		His genealogical endeavor develops a concept of difference indispensable to a postmodern world of blurred boundaries and hybrid forms that exceed our traditional categories of understanding.

	Difference and Repetition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Let me provide some brief indications. Chapter 1 is concerned with `difference', not as mere `diversity', `otherness' or `negation', bur rather as `general' or `specific' difference, where the latter refers to the moment when difference is reconciled with the concept in general.
		Each `idea' is thus linked with `difference' and `representation' in that "the representation of difference refers to the identity of the concept as its principle" (p.178).
		Hence that of `difference' and `repetition' where the former is not only located between the levels and degrees of the latter, but also has two faces, namely, habit and memory. Overall, despite the difficulty of the text itself as it takes for granted knowledge of the philosophies of some other thinkers (e.g.

	Gilles Deleuze - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the fateful year of 1968 he submitted his dissertation, Difference and Repetition and his minor thesis, Expressionism in Philosophy: Spinoza.
		Such a basic premise seems to hark back to Plato and his theory of the realm of ideas and the difference between the intelligible and the sensible, but critiques its idealistic dualism, to which Deleuze posited a Monism influenced by Spinoza and Nietzsche.
		For instance, from Bergson, he is inspired by the idea of duration, a time of the body lived and self-differentiating, without reference to external beings.

	SAMUEL WEBER with TERRY SMITH, Repetition
		Repetition and recollection are the same movement except in opposite directions; for what is recollected has been, is repeated backwards, whereas genuine repetition is recollected forward.
		Repetition, therefore, if it is possible, makes a person happy, whereas recollection makes him unhappy - assuming, of course, that he gives himself time to live and does not promptly, at birth, find an excuse to sneak out of life again, for example, under the pretext that he has forgotten something.
		Repetition, for Constantin, turns out to involve the desire to indulge the possibilities of expansion, but only in order ultimately to be able to pull it all back together again by means of an image.

	Deleuzian Difference and Dreamwork
		Difference in Deleuze is a creative difference, usually spoken of in terms of multiplicities of transformation that reside alongside the actual.
		Difference here is found in contradiction and not in its own positive power. Deleuze sees d-difference involved in the endless play of disappearance and birth, creation and destruction, but the approach is in how things become and are undone, difference as a power in-itself.
		In Hegel’s difference, identity is unstable as well, but there is just no break in the logic, (thesis-antithesis-synthesis) and so an abstract net is placed over reality from without, and essence and identity return in the synthesis, where the Real is revealed. Deleuze wants a difference that is not based upon contradiction.

	2 The Logic of Sense.
		Difference and Repetition is a wide ranging philosophical exploration, through which Deleuze begins to examine the notion of singularities.
		The differenciator for Deleuze differenciates difference "in-itself", and is a component in his ontological exploration of generalised anti-Hegelianism and the Heideggarian philosophy of ontological Difference.
		Differences in kind and degrees of difference coexist in a Single Nature, where Bergson spoke of different intensities and degrees in a virtual coexistence, in a single Time or simple Totality.

	Difference and Repetition
		Chapter 1 is concerned with 'difference', not as mere 'diversity', 'otherness' or 'negation', bur rather as 'general' or 'specific' where the latter is the moment when difference is reconciled with the concept in general.
		Chapter 3 is for Deleuze the most important (sic) because the thinking of 'difference' and 'repetition' is based on a dogmatic image of thought characterised by eight postulates, each with a dual form, the artificial and the natural.
		Hence that of 'difference' and 'repetition' where the former is not only located between the levels and degrees of the latter but also has two faces, namely, habit and memory.

	Repetition
		Repetition of the whole sign is a re-telling of an event in the recit (sjuzet, discourse) in the exactly same words, by the same narrator, the same focalization, etc.
		The very distinction between repetition of the signifier and that of the signified implies difference at the heart of repetition, for when the signifier is repeated, the signified changes.
		The notion of repetition implies that something is repeated, and yet in both literature and psychoanalysis this something is not unequivocally a presence but also, quite possibly, an absence.

	[No title]
		In Difference and Repetition Gilles Deleuze delineates the four principal aspects of "reason" insofar as it is the medium of representation: identity, in the form of undetermined concepts; analogy, in the relation between ultimate determinable concepts; opposition, in the relation between determinations within concepts; resemblance, in the determined object of the concepts itself.
		Difference is represented in the identical concept, reducing it to conceptual difference.
		The repetition and the different allow the excessive and poetic Idea to be actualized in the differenciated series, according to the unique yet permutating singularities which characterize comics.

	Gilles Deleuze [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Difference and Repetition (1968) is without doubt Deleuze's most significant book in a traditional academic style, and proposes the most central of his disruptions to the canonical traditions of philosophy.
		As with difference, repetition has been subjected to the law of the identical, but also to a prior model of time: to repeat a sentence means, traditionally, to say the same thing twice, at different moments.
		If difference is the essence of that which exists, constituting beings as disparates, then neither of the first two models of time does justice to them, insisting as they do on the possibility and even necessity of synthesising differences into identities.

		Difference and Repetition, a brilliant exposition of the critique of identity, has come to be considered a contemporary classic in philosophy and one of Deleuze's most original works.
		It shows how the two concepts are related - difference implying divergence and decentering, and repetition implying displacement and disguising.
		Difference and Repetition has become essential to the work of literary critics and philosophers alike, and this translation his been long awaited.

	Not The Same (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Excessive repetition of single tones and of phrases of narrow compass derives from the Negro; on the other hand, the symmetry of phrase structure is a white concept.
		This play of difference takes the ontological ground of musical form as its unit of (spare) change, by playing both ends of the street -- veering as close to the "same" as it dares, or moving so far into difference that the figure of the previous music is rendered unrecognizable.
		The same lack of awareness in the perception of repetition warps both Nathan's theory and Lott's extension of it, particularly since the music under analysis -- the minstrel tunes of the 1840's -- are, as Lott acknowledges, white attempts to mimic fl music.

	Group Loop - Group Show - Curated by Christoph Cox
		Our modernity is marked by a peculiar conjunction of repetition and difference propelled in large part by developments in technology.
		The conjunction of time, memory, difference, and repetition is poignantly manifested in William Basinski’s Disintegration Loop 1.1(2002)—at once a formal experiment recalling the tape work of Reich and Lucier and a moving elegy to the victims of September 11.
		The most minimalist works in the exhibition, these video loops focus on difference and repetition in their most basic forms and highlight the mesmerizing, hallucinatory power of their conjunction.

	Richard Middleton, Politics of Repetition
		If the history of repetition (constructed across the changing musical field) and the repetitions of history (constructed in the individual performance) constantly intersect, this suggests an initial, simple point which may be introduced by reference to three examples.
		The early Freud saw compulsive repetition as a ritual enactment of repressed material too unpleasant for us to deal with; and this may be of some relevance to long-range repetitions found in nineteenth-century concert music.
		John Rahn (1993), distinguishing different types of musical repetition, puts his faith in what he calls 'lively' repetition, 'whose telos is not given...but is in the process of being formed' (50).

		It occupies an equally important place in the evolution of French philosophy in the 20th century, as it articulates a profound critique of the philosophy of representation while constructing a metaphysics of difference freed from subordination to a logic of identity.
		In this sense 'difference' and 'repetition' are not only (simply) linked between them (in the sense that one leads to the other), but also linked with other important notions usually discussed and developed in other (philosophical) disciplines.
		Chapter 1 is concerned with 'difference', not as mere 'diversity', 'otherness' or 'negation', bur rather as 'general' or 'specific' difference, where the latter refers to the moment when difference is reconciled with the concept in general.

		The repetition problem did not move with the action parts but stayed with the piano.
		The above-mentioned D got much better repetition after the hammers were replaced (with a set that was as close to a duplicate of the worn-out set as you will ever see), but the keys were weighed off carefully to better match the hammers.
		Just because the repetition is possible at one rate with one amount of partial key release, it does not necessarily follow that overall repetition is good.

		Difference and Repetition (French title: Différence et répétition) is a 1969 philosophical book by Gilles Deleuze which concerns the study of difference and repetition.
		Moir and Jessel assert that it is necessary to ``accept who we are before arguing about what we should be,'' and that denying gender differences means ignoring their value.

		Repetition, therefore, if it is possible, makes a person happy, whereas recollection makes him unhappy--assuming, of course, that he gives himself time to live and does not promptly at birth find an excuse to sneak out of life again, for example, that he has forgotten something.
		Yes repetition is possible, but no, it is not possible as the re-taking, recuperating, as the reappropriation of what has been lost.
		Constantin describes two very different and yet related aspects of his experience of this performance which, taken in tandem, not merely frame the parameters of the contemporary experience of media, but also suggestively illuminate its relation to "religion".

		Difference and Repetition is perhaps Deleuze's most difficult book, but everything from his later work is already here.
		Difference and repetition are such an alternative to the dialectic that they're difficult to grasp without a serious grounding in metaphysics (see his books on Kant and Hume especially), Spinoza, and Bergson.

		Difference and Repetition is a classic of contemporary philosophy and a key work in the oeuvre of Gilles Deleuze.
		It is a brilliant exposition of the critique of identity that develops two concepts central to contemporary philosophy: pure difference and complex repetition.
		It is a brilliant exposition of the critique of identity, and indentity that limits human activity and thought, and it develops two key concepts; pure difference and complex repitition.

	repetition
		There are times when the repetition on the radio (and let’s face it, commercial radio is nothing but repetition — couldn’t make any money otherwise I suppose) seems so overpowering I just can’t stand it, I feel like everything is closing in on me. Other times, it actually seems sort of comforting.
		Even the way it’s produced confuses the issue of repetition and difference, since preset modules are often used, with patterns that can be tweaked to various degrees.
		Just as in the repetitions of addiction, the most extreme stance of improvisation (emptied of past, shorn of futurity, flush and co-terminous with now) would be an evacuation (without exhaustion) of itself, a full, efficient, and even ecstatic rendering of itself into an other, constantly mutating, form.

	Bogue, SubStance 64 (1991)
		A statement at the end of part I points to a key tension for understanding Deleuze's work and his collaboration with Guattari: Bogue insists that while his study of Deleuze's early works in Part I focused "on the continuity of his thought, it is clear that Deleuze is not a systematic philosopher.
		Although Difference and Repetition and The Logic of Meaning bring together many of the themes introduced in Deleuze's studies of individual writers, the various syntheses of these themes represent a creative and ongoing production of interconnections, not the revelation of a prevenient whole" (79).
		In Proust and Signs and later in Difference and Repetition and The Logic of Meaning, Deleuze gradually situates this force within a metaphysical surface of singular points, which he differentiates from the unformed depths of bodies" (80).
