For a long time, philosophers and social theorists have discussed how things remain the same (from Plato to Bourdieu) and how they are always different (from Heraclitus to Deleuze). In this chapter, I would like to consider the question of whether two things can be simultaneously the same and different. Say two people download a song, in MP3 format, from a website on the internet; do they end up with the same recording on their respective devices, or are these different files? Short answer: yes.
