Deleuze: Becoming Sound

The work of Gilles Deleuze encompasses a vast field of critical thought. This
field incessantly evolves and expands with multiple readings of Deleuze. The
very challenge, however, lies in thinking with and through him, and by this, to
further
evolve concepts; that is to experiment and not interpret, as Deleuze once put it.
Yet in order to experiment, a close-reading and a close thinking-through of
selected concepts might helpfully serve as a framework. Hence, we are
interested in papers
on Deleuze and sound that tackle:
- Conceptualisation of sound and music
- Models of forming sound, deterritorialisation/ reterritorialisation, migration of
sound(s)
- Does something like minor sounds exist? Where could they be found and how
do
they function?
- Lines of flight and sound, lines of flight of sound
- Concept of diagram and its possible application to sound and music
- Deleuze introduces the concept of becoming- music. Could one – by analogy
or
by any other means - talk about becoming- sound?
- following the conceptualisations of the movement-image, time-image, could
there
be something similarly graspable on the level of a sound-image?
- opera as a soundscape (questions of libretto, music score, operatic works of
art
and becoming-sound)
