Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the role of ‘becoming woman’ in the ethical philosophy of Deleuze. Firstly, it will examine the role of the concept of ‘woman’ and its connection with the body; it will then explore the sense of ‘becoming’ in Deleuze – particularly in his reading of Alice – through an analysis of some aspects of Whitehead’s ‘philosophy of the event’. Finally, the ethical uses of Deleuze’s philosophy of ‘becoming woman’ will be elaborated.
