What is Deleuze?

[Clinamenic]

Deleuze is love, Deleuze is life.

 

[Clinamenic]

Just the control society essay, and the first four plateaus. The rest is secondary material.

 

[shiels]

Nobody has actually read more than say 20 pages of Deleuze, gritting teeth, crawling through glass. Then falling asleep

We sliced through the continental gateau with this one.

Off topic, but the very start of that Madonna vid looks so much like she's about to boot that kid in the bollocks.

It definitely does.

It’s rare because it requires that his old post in question hasn’t been deleted.

Michael Hardt's reading notes on Capitalism & Schizophrenia.

Did you see that Michael Hardt section in the documentary A Life Examined? He’s rowing a canoe in Central Park NYC and talking to the documentarian about some Nicaraguan revolutionaries he befriended or something, very incongruous and oddly comical I found. It’s a good documentary, also has Zizek, Cornel West, Judith Butler, Avital Ronell, Kwame Appiah, others.

Nah, never heard of it. Is it on YouTube?

Zizeks section has him wearing a neon worker vest at a dump site, talking about the implicit horrors of fossil fuels.

Hmm, I think it was on Kanopy for a while, not sure if that’s in UK (a free streaming service associated with public libraries). Might be on YouTube, though.

There was a bit, if I recall correctly, where he gets the canoe stuck on a rock, and needs to pause his recounting of South American revolutionary solidarity experiences to get the canoe unstuck haha

It’s been a while though, I could just be fabricating that.

Gilles Deleuze from A to Z is on YouTube.

 

[?!..!?]

If you want to understand Deleuze, read his history books! They're very clear.

 

[version]

He didn't write history books.

 

[Clinamenic]

Maybe thats the joke?

 

[version]

I assumed they meant the monographs on Kafka, Spinoza, etc. and didn't understand how to refer to them.

Right, I wouldn't quite refer to those as history either, more like exegesis. Unless Deleuze takes an approach of tracing out the history of their thought or the history of the exegesis of their thought. Haven't read any of em.
