What do Deleuze and Guattari have to say about economics and the economy? After the last financial crisis -- and in expectation of the next — issues concerning financialisation, mounting debts, fluctuating markets, and inequality remain as vexing as they were in the 70s and 80s.
While Deleuze & Guattari might have hesitated to speak of ‘the’ economy, there can be little doubt that they would have much to say to the discursive formation that does employ this substantive. The argument raised in Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus against an economy isolated from material, affective, moral and political orders remains valid and valuable today and many strains of their analysis are echoed in contemporary developments (cryptocurrencies, precarisation, the issue of debt).
Speakers include Christian Kerslake, Erik Bordeleau, Ralf Gisinger, Davide Gelmetti.
Attendance is free. Registration information will follow promptly.
