Listen "Deleuze: Micropolitics, Desire, and the Future of Political Theory"
Episode Synopsis
This Deep Dive provides reviews of significant academic works: Celiese Lypka's review of Stark's Feminist Theory After Deleuze and Anindya Sekhar Purakayastha and Saswat Samay Das's review of Nathan Widder's Political Theory After Deleuze. Lypka highlights Stark's accessible integration of complex Deleuzian theory with everyday experiences, advocating for a "futural feminism" that embraces difference and disrupts systemic structures. Purakayastha and Das, on the other hand, argue for Widder's comprehensive exposition of Deleuze's micropolitical and ontological contributions to political philosophy, asserting his relevance for radical political thought and a "politics of impossible possibilities" that champions creative becoming over fixed identities. Both reviews underscore Deleuze's critical role in shaping contemporary philosophical discourse, particularly in challenging traditional political models and embracing fluid, experimental approaches to self and society.
