Philosophy needs a nonphilosophy that comprehends it; it needs
anonphilosophical comprehension just as art needs nonart and
scienceneeds nonscience, Deleuze and Guattari argue in What is
Philosophy?
The third annual International Deleuze Studies Conference will
addressthe relevance of nomadic thought for contemporary
scientific, criticaland artistic practices. More specifically, it
will explore the fast-growingnew interconnections among the three
domains of art, science andphilosophy, by mapping out and exploring
the complex ways in whichtransdisciplinary encounters can be
engendered. Combining critique
with creation, the conference will focus on issues of
methodology bypositioning Deleuzes philosophical work as the
missing link amongdifferent domains of scientific enquiry and
philosophical and artisticpractice today. Central questions are:
What are the different ways ofinterference among these different
areas? What kind of methodological
implications do their dynamic encounters entail? What are the
limitsof transdisciplinary connections, relations and fields? What
kind ofresearch is art practice? In a world that is increasingly
technologicallylinked and globally mediated, how can scientific
disciplines connect
in distinctive and productive ways, both among themselves and
withpractices located in the world of art and thought? The
conference
rests on the assumption that rhizomatic growth and
interrelations areunpredictable but this does not mean that they
proceed randomly.Connections may be broken but will always continue
to grow inother directions and create new encounters, new thoughts
and newaffects. Accounting for the unexpected patterns of both
