The Radical Negativity of the Real Versus Desiring-Production

Deleuze and Lacan are incompatible, but I use them both to imagine how renewal occurs. Deleuze's "Desiring-Production" makes the world new by the purely positive desire for difference. However, Lacan's notion of ingressing difference into the world is through the negativity of the Real. The Real's absolute resistance to symbolization is the irreducible gap between "being" in the register of the Real and "having" in the register of the Symbolic. The failure that the Real causes in the Symbolic allows for the constant movement of the Symbolic into new concepts from the failure of old ones. Lacan's notion of renewal is through the lack that the Real forms in the Symbolic while Deleuze's notion of concept creation is from the excess of desire for new flows of intensities that is intrinsic to being's foundational "Difference-for-itself." Let's see if I can explain why I think that Deleuze's excess and Lacan's lack form the contradiction that makes the world always new.
