La Deleuziana (Dec 2015)
Alice oltre il selfie. Per essere degna di quel che le accade
Abstract
Alice’s becoming, as becoming simultaneously larger and smaller, provides the oppor-‐‑ tunity to diagnose the present through a phenomenon more “current” than ever: Tiqqun’s “Jeune-‐‑Fille” (young girl), which today is amplified by social networks. At the same time, Alice’s becoming indicates a political strategy that is rigorously untimely, which means inclined to find singular virtualities that escape the chronology of the commodification of the time of existence. Following Deleuze’s Logic of Sense, but also projecting it onto the present (hence in-‐‑actualizing it), the commodification of existence occurs first in chronological time, which is why one says, “time is money”. This is the time of consumption, time that literally consumes itself, but it is also the time in which we consume and consume ourselves.
