This project seeks to reconceive a poststructural form of deconstructive criticism as a Deleuzean deconstructive commentary. I first explore the way Derrida’s concept of différance is confined to a deconstructive criticism which solely traces it in order to critique metaphysical concepts. As an alternative to the confined use of différance in deconstructive criticism, I develop a deconstructive commentary which deconstructs the primacy of a commentated text. Instead of using différance solely to trace the limitations of philosophical concepts (Hegelian in particular), it can serve as a plane of immanence that track a multitude of differently configured philosophical concepts in their becoming, as opposed solely focusing on their metaphysical limitations. This style of deconstructive commentary is found in Percy Shelley’s The Triumph of Life despite belonging to the category of art— the poem figures a plane of immanence which tracks the mutation of different concepts. |
