This is a reading seminar on the theories of Giles Deleuze and the ways they have been (or could be) put into practice in new forms of cultural critique. Key concerns will be concepts of affect, force, rhizomatic structures, the assemblage, affinity and difference, post-humanist theories of the subject and power, potentialities or becomings, and objects of analysis that are at once very abstract and very concrete.
Writing requirements. Four 5 page thought pieces spread out over the term.
