Seminar
Towards a rhizomatic thought: Future/Flux

Daniel Lins

March 12th, 2009, 17:00, CES Seminar Room

Within the grant A month at CES

 
Presentation
This seminar deals with, in a first moment, a cartography of the rhizome as difference, singularity and flux, as what pertains to arborescent, molar, and identitarian thought. A second moment will focus on outlining the idea of future, almost nihilist negativity, opposing it to the concept of flux as positivity and openness to joy and nomad multiplicities.
