Deleuze's Bibliography

At the end of original French edition of Difference and Repetition Deleuze's bibliography divides itself into three columns indicating the name of the author, the work cited and, in the final column, ‘the sense in which the work is cited’ (DR 334). Of the hundred and twenty-three authors listed, thirty-five are cited explicitly in relation to the motif of repetition. These include major thinkers for whom repetition plays a key role in their philosophy, for example Bergson, Derrida, Foucault, Freud, Kierkegaard, Lacan, Marx and Nietzsche. Three well-known names are cited, along with a number of other figures, as thinkers of repetition in the unconscious. They are: Derrida, Freud, and Lacan, and are accompanied by names such as Ferdinand Alquié, Sandor Ferenczi, Serge Leclaire and Jacques-Alain Miller. Marx is cited along with writers such as Pierre-Simon Ballanche, Joachim de Flore, Harold Rosenberg and Giovanni-Battista Vico as thinkers of repetition in history. A number of literary writers and essayists are also cited in relation to repetition (including, amongst others, Butor, Joyce, Klossowski, Péguy and Proust). Along with these proper names a diverse range of concepts are associated with repetition throughout this bibliographical list, most obviously those already mentioned – difference, the unconscious and history – but also memory, habit, freedom, chaos, phantasm and equality.
