Deleuze Audio

The opinions expressed in this interview are the speaker's own, and should be viewed within the context of the 1980s.

Deleuze: An Introduction, by Daniel W. Smith, in Alan Schrift (ed.), History of Continental Philosophy, Vol. 6: Poststructuralism and Critical Theory's Second Generation. London: Acumen. pp. 91-110 (2010).

Bergson argued that duration exists exclusively in the mind and “that there is neither duration nor even succession in space, if we give to these words the meaning in which consciousness takes them”. Deleuze examines the implications of this thought, with great ramifications for his (Deleuze's) own concept of The Virtual and immanence.

It is not immanence to life, but the immanent that is in nothing is itself a life. The short essay by Deleuze on the concept of Immanence.

Velocities of Thought. More upcoming. Maybe. (The English translations aren't up on the web atm.) Seven isn't around either. But: more Deleuze audio coming soon. Maybe. Stay subscribed. It will add an element of uncertainty to your life. Oh, btw: the meme I use to depict the podcast is a great illustration of Deleuze's ideas around imminence, when you think about it.

Deleuze on Spinoza: Velocities of Thought December 1980.

Deleuze talks about the problem of terminology, in a way that relates to the foundations of his conception of 'philosophy' as 'concept creation', and intersecting with the work of Ronald Langacker and 'cognitive grammar'.
