Memories of a Deleuzian. On Memories and Immanence: Following Gilles Deleuze This essay proposes the notion of “Memory without Memories” as a conceptual operator for rethinking the relationship between memory, temporality, and subjectivity in Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy. Through a critique of memory understood as an archive of individual experience and as a derivative form of recollection, the paper identifies Bergsonian virtual memory as the point of access to an impersonal and pre-individual dimension of temporality. The argument develops through Deleuze’s reading of Proust and Borges’s short story Funes the Memorious, showing how literature makes possible a conception of memory detached from the logic of preservation and representation. Memory without Memories thus designates a differential regime of transmission of singularities, in which the past is not simply recovered, but continues to produce difference through processes of impersonal enunciation.
