CALL FOR PAPERS
Gilles Deleuze and
Felix Guattari: Refrains of Freedom
International
Conference,
24-26 April, 2015,
Panteion University, Athens, Greece.
We invite abstracts for
papers and panel discussions on all aspects of Deleuze and Guattari's
work,
and we particularly
welcome contributions attempting to elucidate the meaning of Deleuze
and Guattari's
claim that "pluralism
equals monism" as well as its significance for a number of
issues central to their writings.
* What are the
implications of this claim for ontology, epistemology, ethics,
politics, language and the arts?
* Given that Deleuze is
talking about absolute difference (A differs from itself) rather than
comparative differenc (A differs from B),
can we still speak of
subjects and objects and transformative change?
* Deleuze and
Guattari's philosophy of difference in the face of multiculturalism,
identity politics and cultural traditions.
* Between the fixity of
cultural traditions and their nihilist rejection.
* Forcefields and
extended spaces
* Repetition as the
maker of difference.
* "Autrement qu'
être/Autrement qu' autre."
* Memory,
heterogeneity, the friend, the one thousand tiny sexes.
* Schizoanalysis.
* "Pluralism
equals monism" and literature.
* "Pluralism
equals monism" and the arts (visual arts, music, cinema,
theater, dance, new and
multi-disciplinary art
forms, art-science-technology and society in a technological age).
* Pluralism equals
monism" and the people to come.
