摘要：This essay first emerged from a prompt to think the television series Gilles Deleuze from A to Z (L’Abécédaire de Gilles Deleuze) as a media object, as part of a workshop called “Mediating Gilles Deleuze” organized by Nathan Lee and Kenneth Berger at Brown University. In eight hours of interviews produced in 1988-89 by Pierre-André Boutang and screened on French television channel Arte in 1994-1995, Deleuze is interviewed by his former student and collaborator Claire Parnet following a schema that works its way through a Deleuzian alphabet from “A is for Animal” to “Z is for Zig Zag.” He agreed to the project on the condition that it would only be screened after his death, and while making it he was already quite ill. In the end though, Deleuze outlived his ability to resist the supplications of Boutang and the series screened the year before he died.
