摘要：Perhaps the most prevalent trait of Deleuze scholarship has been its privileging of creativity, activity and the production of the new. The contemporary tendency towards these themes is foregrounded in the wide influence of Jane Bennett's neo-Deleuzian project, to which action, the production of effects and the alteration of events are central. 1 One page of Daniella Ange - lucci's new work on Deleuze's cinematic concepts unreservedly claims that philosophy "cre - ates" "new" concepts and art "creates" images as part of a "production, an invention." 2 Nad - ine Boljkovac states she is most generally concerned to "negotiate and effect the new," in an - other recent book on Deleuze and cinema. 3 The reception of Deleuze's notion of the image has also privileged the production of the new. Anne Sauvagnargues suggests that the image opens up a "new process of creation," "new potentials" and "new processes." 4 The image that opens new creations is thus "liberated " from the banal, to which it is "opposed." 5 This paper will take its cue from the only "grumble" that, in his 1995 tribute, Jacques Derrida claimed to have had about the content of Deleuze's philosophy: the emphasis on creation. 6 It will agree with Bernard Stiegler that Derrida is not correct about Deleuze, yet it will reveal that his critique is applicable to the highly prevalent reading of Deleuze that privileges crea - tion and implies a Bergsonian choice that is fundamentally free. 7 In order to show how this reading is mistaken, a concept of the image will be demonstrated in which creativity, produc - tivity and activity are no longer primary.
