在开启这个新的研讨班时，德勒兹首先解释了他为何仍将像"反刍"一样，集中于1981—1982年所展开的诸多主题与概念之上。随后，他提出一种（最终行不通的）办法，以减少每次到课的学生人数；这一提议引发了学生们的提问与反对。德勒兹接着回到柏格森的《物质与记忆》（相关材料在《运动-影像》第4章中有更简练的展开），讲述了他（与柏格森一道）推导出此前所分析的三种影像类型的过程，由此确立了他分析电影的组织框架之发生。在回应了学生的问题之后，德勒兹要求他们下次阅读贝克特的《电影》，将其作为"确证先前关于感知-影像、动作-影像与情动-影像之展开的实用练习"。

En commençant ce nouveau séminaire, Deleuze explique d'abord pourquoi il restera centré, comme une « rumination », sur de nombreux sujets et concepts développés en 1981-82. Il propose ensuite une méthode (en fin de compte impraticable) pour réduire le nombre d'étudiants présents à chaque séance, une proposition qui suscite des questions et des objections de la part des étudiants. Deleuze revient ensuite à Matière et mémoire de Bergson (avec du matériel développé de manière plus concise dans le chapitre 4 de L'Image-mouvement ), racontant le processus par lequel il (avec Bergson) dérive les trois types d'images analysées précédemment, établissant ainsi la genèse du cadre organisationnel de son analyse du cinéma. Ayant répondu aux questions des étudiants, Deleuze leur demande de lire pour la prochaine fois « Film » de Beckett comme un « exercice pratique pour confirmer le développement précédent concernant l'image-perception, l'image-action et l'image-affection ».

In starting this new seminar, Deleuze first explains why it will remain focused, as a “rumination”, on many of the topics and concepts discussed in 1981-82. Then he proposes a method (ultimately unworkable) to reduce the number of students attending each session, a proposal that generates students' questions and objections. Deleuze then returns to Bergson's Matter and Memory (with material developed more concisely in The Movement-Image chapter 4), recounting the process through which he (with Bergson) derives the three kinds of images previously analyzed, thereby establishing the genesis of the organizational framework for his cinema analysis. Following responses to students' questions, Deleuze asks them to read for the next time Beckett's “Film” as a “practical exercise for confirming the previous development regarding the perception-image, action-image and affection-image.

论电影：符号与时间的分类，1982—1983

Sur le cinéma: une classification des signes et du temps, 1982-1983

It turns out that last year — and this is the least of things, which is why I feel the need to justify myself to you — it is the least of things, that for so many years, I have changed the course topic every year. And it’s not even a point of honor, but rather it’s the requirement for any teacher. One changes the subject every year. And when we are criticized for having too much vacation time, then it seems to me… If changing the subject is required, it takes a lot, a lot of preparation. Fine. This is what I have done so far. And last year, I fell into something that I didn’t believe in. I talked a lot about cinema, but what I had in mind was not cinema; yet I have talked about it a lot. What I had in mind was a classification of signs, all the signs in the world.

… which does not concern our work, but which essentially concerns all of us: everyone is aware of the affair, of the René Schérer affair. I find it abominable, abominable because anybody really is, anybody is at the mercy of any denunciation made by some loser [ pauvre type ].

（格式行）

This affair is all the more troubling since the rumor is spreading — about which I am not saying that it is certain — the rumor spreading is that the Ministry [of education], for reasons which are its own and which do not appear to me to be pure, that the Ministry is suspending René Schérer. In my opinion, in the current state of the investigation, Schérer is absolutely correct in saying that this whole thing is causing him great harm; on the other hand, as the investigation stands, it is obvious to me that things will end abruptly, no matter what harm has been done to Schérer. On the other hand, if the Ministry, for shameful questions, were to suspend Scherer, this step would be taken at the very moment when the investigation and the indictment are collapsing. At that point, we all really would need to act, I’m not sure how, but to the maximum of what we can. [1]

……这不涉及我们的工作，而本质上关乎我们所有人：大家都已得知那件事，即勒内·谢雷（René Schérer）事件；我觉得这令人发指，之所以令人发指，是因为任何人都真的、任何人都可能听任某个可怜虫的告密摆布。

… qui ne concerne pas notre travail, mais qui concerne essentiellement nous tous : tout le monde est au courant de l'affaire, de l'affaire René Schérer ; je trouve ça abominable, abominable parce que n'importe qui est vraiment, n'importe qui à la merci de la délation d'un pauvre type.
