Gilles Deleuze

       Known best for concepts like 'rhizome', 'nomadology', 'smooth and
striated space', Deleuze has been most
       insightful in trying to focus on empirical situations from a most
abstract point of view. Very critical of
       generalisations, identifications and transcendence, Deleuze talks of
processes, of what happens between
       the 'bodies'. Sometimes generalising, sometimes subjectifying, but
processes all the same. Deleuze's
       thoughts have been very influential in many different fields of
cultural theory and philosophy. From
       Foucault to Hardt & Negri, many scholars have been influenced by the
way he wrote on cinema, the
       history of philosophy, art and feminism, to name a few of his
interests. In this session we will see in what
       way Deleuze's thoughts have been insightful in some of these fields.
However, we are also interested in
       how his thoughts can be useful in other areas of research, such as
research on 'everyday life' subjects
       like food culture or fashion. This session on Gilles Deleuze is aimed
at all scholars who are interested in
       'doing' philosophy, as Rajchman put it, who are interested in how
most abstract thought can help us see
       our (scholarly) practices in a different way. To put it another way,
in this session we want to experience
       Deleuze's claim that philosophy equals life…
