Video Description:
http://www.egs.edu/ Manuel DeLanda lecturing about the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. Public Open Video Lecture at European Graduate School EGS, Media and Communication Studies department program. Saas-Fee, Switzerland 2007. Manuel De Landa. Gilles Deleuze.
Manuel DeLanda, (born 1952 in Mexico City), is a writer, artist and distinguished philosopher who has lived in New York since 1975. He is an Adjunct Associate Professor at Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at Columbia University (New York), a Professor for Contemporary Phi
losophy and Science at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland, a professor at the Canisius College in Buffalo, New York, and professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Design in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is the author of War in the Age of Intelligent Machines (1991),
A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History (1997), Intensive Science and Virtual Philosophy (2002) and A New Philosophy of Society: Assemblage Theory and Social Complexity (2006). He has published many articles and essays and lectured extensively in Europe and in the United States. His work focuses on th
e theories of the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze on one hand, and modern science, self-organizing matter, artificial life and intelligence, economics, architecture, chaos theory, history of science, nonlinear science, cellular automata on the other. De Landa became a principal figure in the "new
materialism" based on his application of Deleuze's realist ontology. His universal research into "morphogenesis" - the production of the semi-stable structures out of material flows that are constitutive of the natural and social world - has been of interest to theorists across many academic and pro
fessional disciplines. Alongside his intellectual work, DeLanda made several short Super 8 and 16mm films in the 1970s and early 1980s, all of which are now out of circulation. Cited by filmmaker Nick Zedd in his Cinema of Transgression Manifesto, DeLanda associated with many of the experimental an
d art filmmakers of this New York based movement. Much of DeLanda's film work is inspired by his interest in philosophy and critical theory; one of his best known films, Raw Nerves, has been described as a 'Lacanian thriller' by at least one critic.

If you're curious, check out the school of Soviet philosophers in the late 1920's who understand him not as a philosopher but as a particularly gullible theologian.

Don't let rigourous argument get in the way of philosophy!!!!!!!! (haha!) no seriously. I think people who are into this sort of worship of intellectuals (its good they should be worshiped) but from a philosophical perspective there are much more exciting discussions out there they are just taking place in journals and stuff. I am a sartre expert but I am an "analytical philosopher" and thats where I argue my perspective. My heart is continental, the mind analytic.

What Delanda is ... ( 8 months ago by sssswwwsssss)
What Delanda is getting at here is Deleuze's transcendental realism, which for philosophers of most guises has to be seen as (at least) a bold and novel move.
Unfortunately, we're going to get the whole history of his thinking before we get to a discernable philosophical point.
The way that much of continental philosophy is communicated does it no favours at all.

I'm pretty sure he makes it explicit what he means by that in both lectures that are posted on YouTube. So really it does speak for itself, but not the in way your fake sarcasm indicates.

it seems to me that there's much more to be gained by simply reading the chapter from A Thousand Plateau's which he discuses then listening to someone lecture on it... "better a fool on your own account than a sage on another's approbation"

Incidentally, does ... ( 4 months ago by pilkingtonphil)
Incidentally, does anyone ever get the impression that aesthetic theories derived from Deleuze's work are to actual art what attempts (such as those of Timothy Leary) to ground psychological theories in the experience of chemical induced delirium are to actual psychology? And if such is even remotely the case wouldn't it follow that establishing some sort of quality control would be impossible due to the impenetrably narcissistic (i.e. shut-off) character of the psychologist/aesthetician?

I don't know if this is what is meant by postmodern talk or not. The problem is understanding them when they speak like that or even knowing whether their words are intended to make any sense or not. Dawkins and the rest are able to criticise them but I don't know how they do it when what they are criticising seems so out of this world. For me, to criticise you have to first find some sense in the object of your criticism. 'Atoms have personalities', 'crystals have identities'. Give me a break!
Dawkins' language ... ( 1 month ago by volumexxvii)
Dawkins' language always remains trapped in a superficial scientific framework, while the language of Deleuze penetrates philosophically. Deleuze may sometimes be difficult, but most certainly worth the effort.
Paraphrasing ... ( 1 month ago by cevemeve)
Paraphrasing american yaqui indian philosophy is not a bad way of developping ideas... specially when you have a more global vision than just tie your theory to one single culture, on a region, or a time period. Yaqui philosophy, by the way, joins many other visions... just as the one practiced (actually) by the kogi in Colombia.

Sorry, but after the "Sokal Affair" I'm surprised that people are still foolish enough to give lectures such as this one.

did you even watch the lecture?
clearly you are still entrenched in the very sort of anthropomorphic thinking that the lecture, and deleuze's philosophy at large, sets out to refute.

I agree with your statement FreethinkingFun. I think the sokal affair signifies the unfortunate divergence between philosophical and scientific usage of language and narrative as a whole which is a pity, a gap is opening when there should not. Sypmtomes of misunderstanding shows that there is need to communication not oneway denunciations.
