Abstract

Alice’s becoming, as becoming simultaneously larger and smaller, provides the oppor tunity to diagnose the present through a phenomenon more “current” than ever: Tiqqun’s “Jeune Fille”, which today is amplified by social networks. At the same time, Alice’s becoming indicates a political strategy that is rigorously untimely, which means inclined to find singular virtualities that escape the chronology of the commodification of the time of existence. Following Deleuze’s Logic of Sense, but also projecting it onto the present, the commodification of existence occurs first in chronological time, which is why one says, “time is money”. This is the time of consumption, time that literally consumes itself, but it is also the time in which we consume and consume ourselves.
