Abstract

« Following Suit(e) : Woolf, Carlyle, Deleuze » endeavors to locate « starting » places in the writing of V. Woolf, places in which language enters a zone of non-decidability and liberates « flows », a concept akin to Deleuzian « devenir », here submitted to a tentative retranslation –which inscribes a proper name in reverse. This essay situates Woolf between Carlyle and Deleuze, whose Difference and repetition quotes Sartor Resartus, thus repositioning Woolf (an ardent reader of Carlyle) as a major XXth proto-differential philosopher or « followsopher ».
