GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / Painting/philosophy
Italian term or phrase: piega
The translation is of a catalogue for an art exhibition.

L'artista sembra coerentemente impegnato a testimoniare la rivelazione di un soggetto antropico inteso come “piega”, ingenuamente ritenuto un fondato tema di indagine filosofica (da Socrate a Kant, passando per Descartes) e ora da riconoscersi non senza stupore come invenzione non solo recente, ma transitoria e di cui si annuncia la sparizione a favore di nuove forme in cui il sapere stesso andrà a costituirsi.

Can anyone help with how to translate "piega" in this context?

It is I who live my life as the double of the other,' and when I find the other in myself the discovery 'resembles exactly the invagination of a tissue in embryology, or the act of doubling in sewing: twist, fold, stop, and so on' (D 1988b: 105). For Foucault, history was the 'doubling of an emergence' (D 1988b: 98). By that he meant that what was past or in an archive was also passed - as might a speeding car overtaken or doubled by another on a highway - but also mirrored or folded into a diagram. History was shown to be what sums up the past but that can be marshalled for the shaping of configurations that will determine how people live and act in the present and future. Whether forgotten or remembered, history is one of the formative doubles or others vital to the process of subjectivation.
Therein begins Deleuze's rhapsody of folds and foldings.
