Abstract
This chapter explores Gilles Deleuze’s conceptualization of a “new image of thought” as a pre-subjective and non-representational process of thinking. As such, thinking is relocated outside the subject, thus reframing thinking not as the sole possession of a thinking subject, but as an emergent event occurring as a consequence of a “shock” that compels thought. Such a concept locates thoughts’ origins in the genetic conditions of experience. This chapter explores the consequences of Deleuze’s “new image of thought” as it pertains to understanding, creating, and teaching art.
