Stivale (French, Wayne State University) here discusses the role of the concept of friendship in the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and how it fits into "the fold," the place where life intersects, immanence into transcendence, one form of understanding meeting another. Stivale uses this to show how Deleuze's friendships with men like Foucault, Lacan and Barthe informed his work. Stivale uses primary material, including an eight-hour video interview of Deleuze to build a portrait of friendship within the world of Deleuze.
