MMU ERI DELEUZIAN STUDIES
Autumn Greetings to our readers and viewers and a warm welcome to new and regular users of the ERI Deleuze Studies network and its journal A/V. If you would like to join the network, then send us a brief bio and details of your work and/or interest in Deleuze studies, so we can display your details and produce more Deleuzian connections. The editorial board invites your submission of recorded papers and of Deleuzian-inflected artworks to showcase on future issues of A/V. Please contact me to discuss your ideas and suggestions for material you would like us to consider.
Plenty of inspiring Deleuzian events are happening, both locally and internationally. It was good to meet old and new friends from far afield at ‘Connect Deleuze’ the Second International Deleuze Studies journal conference in Köln this August and to share in the abundance of positive energy generated by the event.
We are also pleased to welcome an ever-growing number of new teachers and researchers moving to the Manchester area and look forward to their forthcoming contributions to the spread of Deleuze Studies and related areas. For students new to Deleuze and Guattari’s work, please check out our ‘Deleuze for Beginners’ section on these pages.
If you are organising an event, please send us details in plenty of time so we can tell as many people about it as possible. Please also forward details of new publications in the field so we can advertise them to our readers. If you would like to write a review for us, check the list of monographs and essay collections in the reviews section of the website and contact me if you are interested in submitting an audio-visual response to any of these books.
This autumn brings you the latest issue of A/V, number 10. This special art and film-themed issue of A/V features some inspiring and thought-provoking papers. Steven Shaviro presents ‘Post Cinematic Affect in Boarding Gate and Southland Tales’. Stephen Zepke with 'The post-conceptual is the non-conceptual; Deleuze, Guattari and the conditions of contemporary art' shared a panel with Simon O'Sullivan who presented ‘The Production of the New’. Gary Genosko presents his seminal work on Félix Guattari and Minor Cinema. We are delighted to feature a specially commissioned new trailer for the film ‘about’ Deleuze and Vincennes, which was screened at Köln, facs of life directed by Silvia Maglioni & Graeme Thomson
