SMITH-DELEUZE 9780748643332 PRINT.Indd I 16/04/2012 16:37 SMITH-DELEUZE 9780748643332 PRINT.Indd Ii 16/04/2012 16:37 Essays on Deleuze ‘For the last fifteen years, all of us have read one or two of Daniel Smith’s remarkable essays on Deleuze. But now, we have all of them. Finally and thankfully, we have Essays on Deleuze, a book that will become immediately essential reading for anyone interested in twentieth-century continental philosophy.’ Leonard Lawlor, Sparks Professor of Philosophy, Penn State University ‘For many years now Daniel Smith’s work has led us through Deleuze’s philosophy with an unmatched clarity. It is thanks to him that the many historical connections of that philosophy have been grasped in their full rigour and depth. No researcher on Deleuze’s philosophy can pass this work by. No reader can fail to benefit from an engagement with Smith’s groundbreaking interpretation.’ James Williams, Professor of European Philosophy, University of Dundee Essays on Deleuze gathers twenty of Smith’s new and classic essays into one volume for the first time. Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) was one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth-century, and Daniel W. Smith is widely recognized to be one of his most penetrating interpreters, as well as an important philosophical voice in his own right. Combining his most important pieces over the last fifteen years along with two new essays, this book is Smith’s definitive treatise on Deleuze. The essays are divided into four sections, which cover Deleuze’s use of the history of philosophy, an overview of his philosophical system, an analysis of several Deleuzian concepts, as well as an assessment of his position within contemporary philosophy. Smith’s essays have become frequent references for students and scholars working on Deleuze. Several of the articles have already become touchstones in the field, notably those on Alain Badiou and Jacques Derrida. For anyone interested in Deleuze’s philosophy, this book is not to be missed. Daniel W. Smith is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Purdue University.

GRADY ROSE (Under the Direction of Amy Hackney, Ph. D.) ABSTRACT Members of one race or ethnicity are less able to individuate members of another race compared to their own race peers. This phenomenon is known as the other race effect (ORE) or the cross race effect (CRE). Not only are individuals less able to identify members of the other race but they are also more likely to pick those individuals out of a crowd. The categorization- individuation model predicts that this deficit arises from a lack of motivated individuation; in which members of the other race are remembered at the category level as a prototype while own race members are remembered by name with individual characteristics.

  • Affect, Trust, and Dignity: Ontological Possibilities and Material Consequences for a Philosophy of Educational Resonance Walter Gershon Kent State University
    Walter Gershon 461 Affect, Trust, and Dignity: Ontological Possibilities and Material Consequences for a Philosophy of Educational Resonance Walter Gershon Kent State University INTRODUCTION This essay articulates a philosophy of resonance in education, from some of its theoretical possibilities through their material consequences. Contemporary under- standings in educational philosophy have a tendency to utilize ocular metaphors, epistemological constructions that provide frames for seeing the world. There are at least the following three difficulties with such a reliance on the ocular. First, they are easily interrupted by nonocular metaphors. While this may seem to be a rather surface concern, it points to a deep philosophical set of problems. For example, what happens when the augenblick, a construct around which much philosophizing has been accomplished, is pressed slightly to become a “blink of an ear”?1 This move not only questions the veracity of ocular-centric constructions from blinks to texts — for what does it say about an idea if it falls apart by shifting senses — but it also presses at the feasibility of framing, its inherently bounded nature as well as the large number of possibilities excluded by its gaze. Second, the sonic provides another avenue for wonder. Sound is omnipresent and questions of hearing or listening are as much about physical anatomy as they concern sociocultural constructs about what sounds can mean. Unlike sight that is necessarily directional and constantly interrupted (for example, by blinking), sound is omnidirectional, creating a context in which focus requires a particular kind of attentive filtering rather than a reframing or panning directionality. Finally, sound is and always has been.

  • Affect Theory As a Methodology for Design
    Affect Theory as a Methodology for Design Author Nandita Baxi Sheth & Kristopher Holland University of Cincinnati, College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning In Ordinary Affects (2010), Katherine Stewart, writes, Affect is the commonplace, labor-intensive process of sensing modes of living as they come into being. It hums with the background noise of obstinacies and promises, ruts and disorientations, intensities and resting points. It stretches across real and imaginary social fields and sediments, linking some kind of everything (p. 340). ‘Linking some kind of everything’, affects are intensities, resonances, force fields that exist and travel in in between bodies and spaces. Affect shines a light on what happens in that unknowable space that is the gap between an event and its cognitive signification. These embodied intensities occur through the automatic functions of our bodies--the membrane of the skin, the beating of the heart, and the rhythm of the breath (Massumi, 2002, p. 26). Imaginative Interlude: Imagine if you will an experience of awe or wonder—such as the much clichéd sunset on the beach. The salty smell in the air. The changing temperature of the skin as the sun’s warmth dissipates The ever so gradual color changes in the sky The liquid melding of sky and sea at the horizon line The rhythmic sounds of moving water There is gap, fractions of second, between the body’s experience of this event and the application of language to label that experience. Thinking about this gap- between experience itself and representation of that experience is the space of inquiry that is explored by Affect Theory.

I will sketch the contours of an oppositional politics within the figure of Empire (or the American capitalist empire which is almost always transcendental). The binary structure of the movie oscillates between two utterly opposing modalities (deploying high-tech military force against eco-friendly indigenous culture, weapons against trees, killing to healing, earth to space, human to nonhuman-nature, white skin against blue skin, etc.) This dualistic tension seems to create a Neo-Platonic Augustinian confrontation between Good and Evil.

    Spiriting Heidegger A discussion of Jacques Derrida's De l'esprit: Heidegger et la question. Paris: Galilee, 1987, 184 pages. English translation, Of Spirit: Heidegger and the Question, by Geoff Bennington and Rachel Bowlby. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, forthcoming in 1988. DAVID FARRELL KRELL University of Essex Goethe says: "It is not always necessary for the true to be embodied: enough if it hovers like a spirit [geistig] and produces accord; enough if it wafts through the air, earnest and amicable, like the sound of a bell." - Martin Heidegger, "Art and Space" Will a more important book on Heidegger appear in our time? No, not unless Derrida continues to think and write in his spirit. I begin with this bald and bold claim because this "Discussion" is already overdue and I may get lost in my effort to recount and counter, report and reply. Therefore let there be no mistake: this is not merely a brilliant book on Heidegger, it is thinking in the grand style. Wholly in the spirit of Heidegger, but also spiriting him across borders into strange territories, in a spirit quite foreign to his, though whit as every thoughtful. " Spirit? And Heidegger,? \ The book shows ten sections. It spans Heidegger's Being and Time (1927) -- and the Trakl essay of 1953, "Die Sprache im Gedicht." Major way-stations include the rectoral address of 1933 and the Introduction to Metaphysics of 1935. Yet Derrida also manages to draw Heidegger's Nietzsche, Holderlin, and Schelling into his account, and to touch on scores of other themes and figures in the Heideggerian text.

    DANIEL W. SMITH “Knowledge of Pure Events” A Note on Deleuze’s Analytic of Concepts What is the relation between philosophical concepts and events? This is a complex problem in Deleuze’s philosophy, leading to a number of complex questions. Deleuze has famously defined philosophy as the creation of concepts, as “knowledge through pure concepts.”1 What is at issue here is not a theory of concepts as such, but the type of knowledge produced by the pure concepts of philosophy. One can certainly think without concepts, Deleuze says, but as soon as there are concepts in this sense, there is philosophy. “So long as there is a time and a place for creating concepts, the operation that undertakes this will always be called philosophy, or will be indistinguishable from philosophy, even if it is called something else.”2 Philosophical concepts, however, are defined by Deleuze in terms of events: “The concept speaks the event, not the essence or the thing.”3 At one level, this definition appeals to the traditional opposition between essences and events or accidents: concepts will henceforth express events and not essences. “For a long time one made use of concepts in order to determine what a thing is (essence). On the contrary, we are interested in the circumstances of the thing: in what case, where and when, how, etc.? For us, the concept must express the event, and no longer essence.”4 Or, as Deleuze writes at one point, “One can conserve the word essence, if one wishes, but only on the condition of saying that essence is precisely the accident or the event.”5 But this manifest distinction between essence and event conceals a more subtle distinction between a pure event and an actualized event: philosophical concepts, says Deleuze, express pure events.
