CFP: “Deleuze: Ethics and Politics
Call for Papers: 4th Biennial Philosophy and Literature Conference At Purdue University
“Deleuze: Ethics and Politics”
April 9-10, 2010
Purdue University, West Lafayette
Deadline for Paper Submission: January 15, 2010
The philosopher Michel Serres once described Gilles Deleuze as “an excellent example of the dynamic movement of free and inventive thinking.” Without a doubt, Deleuze was one of the most singular and prolific philosophers of the 20th century. It is no surprise then, that the impact of Deleuze’s thought continues to reverberate throughout a host of diverse disciplines including Philosophy, Literature, Political Theory, Law, Visual Arts, Film Studies, and Education. With recognition of Deleuze’s influence in these various fields, and in the spirit of Serres’ assessment, this conference seeks to motivate an exploration of Deleuze’s inventive thinking in the particular areas of politics and ethics.
