“…Rescher, on the other hand, is more philosophically conservative, exhibiting a stronger commitment to rationality, order and clarity of communication. Indeed, Michael Hampe (2004: 286) has criticized Rescher’s recent historical survey of process philosophy as entirely ignoring the European process tradition – a tradition which is perhaps best represented in its contemporary form by Deleuze. It should be clear from what has been written thus far that, for the most part, Torre sidesteps the radical, virtual dimension of Deleuzian philosophy in the construction of his process-cognitivism, and leans more closely towards the sobriety and actualism of Rescherian thought.…”

It is well known that despite his close engagement with cinema, Gilles Deleuze was less concerned with animated film, being somewhat dismissive of its capabilities. In recent years, however, a number of attempts have been made-most notably by William Schaffer, Thomas Lamarre, and Dan Torre to construct Deleuzian positions in animation theory. This paper outlines some of these approaches, whilst engaging critically with Torre's writings. In particular, it foregrounds Torre's neglect of the post-structural, political dimension of Deleuzian thought, through an examination of the concepts of faciality, the close up, and relation as they occur in Deleuzian and Deleuzo-Guattarian philosophy. This is in part facilitated through a comparison of Stuart Blackton's Humorous Phases of Funny Faces (1906)a work directly addressed by Torre, and Emile Cohl's Fantasmagorie (1908)a work which he largely passes by. It is claimed here, that despite a number of apparent similarities, the animations of Cohl and Blackton express a radically divergent series of ontological commitments. Cohl offers the audience an experience of chaotic, mutable, relational complexity that revels in its incoherence, whilst Blackton presents a series of more straightforward set pieces, dwelling for the most part upon object-centric representational form. The tension between representation and becoming that occurs between these works is employed to facilitate a critical engagement with Torre's process-cognitivism. It is suggested that Torre's work, though exceptional in its pedagogic value, is likewise expressive of this tension, and that in its effort firstly to combine a series of process philosophical and cognitivist ideas, and secondly to unpack the radical ideas of Deleuze through the more conservative philosophy of Nicholas Rescher, it runs the risk of falling back into a quasi-Kantian philosophy of generality and representation.

Critical Realism and the Process Account of Emergence

For advocates of critical realism emergence is a central theme. Critical realists typically ground their defence of the relative disciplinary autonomy of various sciences by arguing that emergent phenomena exist in a robust non-ontologically, non-causally reductionist sense. Despite the importance they attach to it critical realists have only recently begun to elaborate on emergence at length and systematically compare their own account with those developed by others. This paper clarifies what is distinctive about the critical realist account of emergence by comparing it with an alternative. Critical realism and interactivism are shown to independently converge on the same general process (or constraint) view of emergence and develop complementary accounts of particular emergents.
