Gilles Deleuze sur Michel Foucault :
"... Un écrivain, non : un nouveau cartographe..."
Deleuze considérait que Foucault était en fait un cartographe parce qu’il faisait pleins de diagrammes.
FOUCAULT /// Episode 4: The Cartography of Power | The Funambulist
►http://thefunambulist.net/2012/06/24/foucault-episode-4-the-cartography-of-power
In the last ‘episode’, I was evoking the will of Michel Foucault to be considered as a cartographer. In a text written for the journal Critique (dec 1975), Gilles Deleuze proposes an analysis of the book Surveiller et Punir: Naissance de la prison (Discipline and Punish: The birth of the prison) under the title: Un Nouveau Cartographe (A new cartographer). Through this text, Deleuze introduces Foucault’s method to map the mechanisms of power (which legitimizes somehow the fact that he has been called a structuralist) as well as his very definition of power: (French original version is at the end of this article)
Avec cette puissante réflexion sur le pouvoir :
Power: is less a property than a strategy, and its effects cannot be attributed to an appropriation ‘but to dispositions, manoeuvres, tactics, techniques, functionings’; ‘it is exercised rather than possessed; it is not the “privilege”, acquired or preserved, of the dominant class, but the overall effect of its strategic positions.’
Power has no essence; it is simply operational. It is not an attribute but a relation: the power-relation is the set of possible relations between forces, which passes through the dominated forces no less than through the dominating, as both these forces constitute unique elements

Jakub Zdebik, Deleuze and the Diagram : Aesthetic Threads in Visual Organization , Continuum International Publishing Group, Londres, 2012.
Deleuze and the Diagram charts Deleuze’s corpus according to aesthetic concepts such as the map, the sketch and the drawing to bring out a comprehensive concept of the diagram. In his interrogation of Deleuze’s visual aesthetic theory, Jakub Zdebik focuses on artists that hold an important place in Deleuze’s system. The art of Paul Klee and Francis Bacon is presented as the visual manifestation of Deleuze’s philosophy and yields novel ways of assessing visual culture. Zdebik goes on to compare Deleuze’s philosophy with the visual theories of Foucault, Lyotard and Simondon, as well as the aesthetic philosophy of Heidegger and Kant. He shows how the visual and aesthetic elements of the diagram shed new light on Deleuze’s writings.
Deleuze conceptualized his theory as a form of painting, saying that, like art, it needed to shift from figuration to abstraction. This book focuses on the visual devices in Deleuze’s work and uses the concept of the diagram to describe the relationship between philosophy and art and to formulate a way to think about philosophy through art.
