Deakin University seminar
Dr Antonia Pont (Deakin) presents ‘Thinking time and change via Deleuze’
Tuesday 15 May from 3.30-5pm in HE2.016 on Deakin University’s Burwood campus (No videolink available)
ABSTRACT
This paper offers a close reading of Gilles Deleuze’s approach to thinking time in relation to the notions of difference and repetition. If we seek to come to a rigorous thought of what enables change, or what the mechanisms for change might be, Deleuze’s scholarship in Bergsonism and Difference and Repetition makes an important contribution to this project. This paper will unpack in a clear and accessible way some of the crucial terms and movements of this stage in his undertaking, as well as linking these to questions of artistic production and ascetic registers.
