To all members of the list:

I'm going to be in Paris from Sept. '98 to June '99 (on sabbatical) to work on Deleuze and I'm wondering if any members of the list will be there as well (and might like to meet), or if anyone has suggestions for who to look up, what relevant seminars or conferences might be taking place, etc.

(I'm an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Guelph (near Toronto).  I've been working on Deleuze seriously for about three years, taught a graduate course on Anti-Oedipus, presented a couple of conference papers on Deleuze at the IAPL and elsewhere, but my current project is my first large-scale attempt to write on Deleuze.)

The project I'm working on involves a cluster of concepts involving the philosophy of history: succession and simultaneity, temporal syntheses and the eternal return, Chronos and Aion, names of history and the body without organs, cause and quasi-cause, chance and necessity, singularities and events, memory and forgetting, consistencies and folds, different regimes of signs as different models of historicizing, state history vs. deterritoralized history, etc. etc.  Of course, all of these open up in various ways, but my goal is to weave together an account of historical becoming that deals with traditional problems in the philosophy of history, an account that does without some of the features usually taken to be the traditional features of modern philosophy of history, namely progressivity, freedom through necessity, durational totalities composed of syntheses of individuals, etc.  (Though on the other hand, I'd like to develop some fruitful uses of Hegel for Deleuzian philosophy, starting with an idea that Hegel's "end of history" at the end of the Phenomenology is primarily an end to succession and hence a beginning of immanent simultaneities in thought.)

In any case, I'm hoping to contact various philosophers and others in Paris who are working on Deleuze and Guattari and related issues, but I don't have many strong contacts, so any suggestions would be warmly appreciated.
