Difference and Repetition
Deleuzian concept that repetition creates difference rather than sameness. Each repetition alters what is repeated. Eternal return selects and creates. Difference is primary; identity is effect. Generative repetition versus bare repetition. Difference-in-itself precedes identity. Applied to learning, art, and life. Repetition with variation enables creativity. Nietzsche's eternal recurrence as creative repetition. Challenge representational thinking based on identity and sameness.
