Abstract

According to Deleuze, the meaning philosophy's function is concepts invention (Deleuze, 1992). This lesson can be applied to philosophy history studies, where can be verified the researcher ideas reaching and how new concepts can be extracted from them. In fact, with different partnerships, Deleuze searchs for unconscious new concept renovation stimulated by the idea of its immanence with the exteriority, conceiving it like productive and historical. This renovation, which will implicate in phychological clinic, connects to an apprehension that appears early at Deleuze's work, since 60's: the apprehension about sign notion. Especially at the books Proust e os signos (1964), through sign-time connection, and Lógica do sentido (1969), with the sign-happening/meaning connexion and, at another moment, with the work O anti-Édipo (1972), studing the connexion sign-history, the philosopher develops a sign concepts doesn't firmed in speech, inaugurating a semiotics "widened" or the deleuzian sign theory. Inconformity to this our research is concentrated at the deleuzian conceptual production moments outpointed above, grounds that permit us report to other author's works, reviewing the sign notion destiny taking different questions.
