The Logic of Sense, the Logic of Trauma. Remarks on the reading of Gilles Deleuze

Abstract

The author puts forward a chain of related notes in his attempt to achieve
two different goals. On the one hand, he tries to remain faithful to both the style
and the intentions of Deleuze while, on the other, tracing the trajectory of difference.
The latter is about showing the possibility an alternative reading of phenomena and
paradoxes discussed in The Logic of Sense. This fundamental intuition of alternative
reading is connected with the identification of the logical disjunction with trauma,
understood in the psychoanalytical tradition. This leads to the possibility of building
a bridge between ‘logical’ and ‘psychoanalytical’ series of Deleuze’s book and to
encompass both of them in a single topological space of thinking.
