Although Deleuze presents difference as a dynamic and constitutive process through which new forms and meanings continually emerge, his account does not address the social and institutional conditions that shape who is able to transform and how such transformation is received. Deleuze’s ontology of difference is not concerned with power imbalance, classed identity, or the embodied inscriptions that influence whether difference is permitted to materialise or is disciplined into legibility. In working-class contexts, difference cannot be separated from the social structures that regulate taste, voice, authority and credibility. Consequently, any account of relational emergence must recognise that difference is both generative and constrained, and that its materialisation is contingent upon institutional, cultural, and classed dynamics that Deleuze’s framework does not consider.
