Deleuze and Activism
Cardiff University, Wales, UK

When Deleuze and Guattari wrote Anti-Oedipus they hoped it would be a resource to arms for dissidents and political activists. Rather than set out a program of change, they tried to isolate the political, cultural and economic factors that inhibit change. In so doing they created a work that was instantly recognised as a philosophical watershed. It changed the landscape of political theory in a single sweep. Subsequent works developed this analysis further, creating a formidable armoury of critical tools with which to face a world increasingly indifferent to philosophy. This conference seeks to examine the Deleuzian legacy from the point of view of radical politics. It seeks to analyse both what he and Guattari wrote on the subject and more particularly to see what their writings enable us to say now.

I tried to respond to the email address mention here - by cut and paste - and I got a permanent fault... any ideas? I really dig this conference idea as its more or less where many of us wanted to take deleuze camp summer '07 and its also what I just spent many months writing about.
