becomings, affect, Spinoza, Deleuze, ethicsAbstract
The theory of becomings developed in the plateau number ten of A Thousand Plateaus —theory that underlies must of the ethical-political thinking of the French philosophers— is first and foremost a spinozist analysis devoted to a certain type of compositional relations between bodies from a affective point of view. The article shows in some detail how the conceptual framework of affect theory developed in Spinoza's Ethics is retaken and extended by Deleuze and Guattari to elaborate the theory of becomings. I expose in the first part, succinctly, Spinoza’s thought referring to affects, and I explain in the second, through the analysis of becoming-animal, becoming-woman and becoming-imperceptible, how spinozist notions work within the ethical-political theory of becomings.
