Abstract

In this study, Jean Bessière points out the elements of Bergsonian philosophy that continuously and essentially influence the shaping of the philosophical paradigm of Gilles Deleuze. This philosophical paradigm is significant, concludes the author, because it allows the performance of contemporary conclusions about certain literary categories, such as the phenomenon of storytelling when it is placed in parallel with cinematic storytelling, and consequently with the reflection on storytelling through images, present in the work of Gilles Deleuze. Moreover, the author focuses on the paradoxical and symbolical status that literature has at the moment when, on the one hand, it defines itself as a junction between the real and the imaginary, the actual and the virtual. Thereby, literature will reduced to the vitalistic concepts of becoming and multiplicity that mark the modern poetics of informel, without falling into pure artificiality of the sign.
