after 1968
Theorieweek april
De maand april gaat van start met een nieuwe theorieweek. Op het programma dit keer leesgroepen over Benjamin en Simondon op dinsdag 3 april en de seminars Logic en After 1968 (op woensdag), CLiC en Hegel (op donderdag). Het seminar van After 1968 is getiteld “Deleuze’s Spinoza: The underground current of the philosophy of immanence”. De bijeenkomst borduurt voort op het vorige seminar, waarin werd besproken in hoeverre Macherey - in zijn boek Hegel or Spinoza uit 1979 - Althussers lezing van Spinoza aanvult door het toevoegen van argumenten die in Althussers reconstructie van immanente causaliteit ontbreken. Deze maand onderzoekt het seminar hoe Deleuze dit probleem aanpakt door zich te richten op de vraag hoe Spinoza de omkering van het oneindige door het eindige denkt, en welke problemen zich op dit punt in Spinoza’s denken voordoen. De week wordt afgesloten met de conferentie Relocating Subalternity op 6 en 7 april. Meer informatie is te vinden in de agenda.
April Theory Week
April kicks off with another theory week. Scheduled this time are reading groups about Benjamin and Simondon on Tuesday 3 April, and seminars Logic and After 1968 (also on Wednesday), CLiC and Hegel (on Thursday). The After 1968 seminar is entitled “Deleuze’s Spinoza: The underground current of the philosophy of immanence”. The gathering follows up the last seminar, which discussed in how far Machery - with his 1979 book Hegel or Spinoza - supplements Althusser’s reading of Spinoza by adding arguments lacking in Althusser’s reconstruction of immanent causality. This month, the seminar explores how Deleuze tackles these problems by re-examining the question of how Spinoza thinks the transversal of the infinite through the finite, and which difficulties occur right at this point in Spinoza’s thinking. Last thing on the agenda this week is the conference Relocating Subalternity on 6 and 7 April. More info can be found in the agenda.

Theory programme kicks off
After an inspiring Opening Week, the customary Theory programme will kick off in the second week of February - with the collective projects After 1968, CLiC and the Hegel Seminar, and with the reading groups on Jacques Lacan and Walter Benjamin. As per usual, the Theory Department will invite guest speakers on a regular basis. This time, our guest will be Ray Brassier, associate professor at the Department of Philosophy of the American University of Beirut (LB). Please take a look at our agenda for the full programme.
Althusser’s Lesson
French philosopher Jacques Rancière talks about the event that was the turning and starting point for his much appraised work in political and cultural philosophy: his break with Althusser.
With interventions by Emiliano Battista, Katja Diefenbach, Oxana Timofeeva and Luke Zachary Fraser.

The Supplementary Class. Disrupting the Logic of Division
In 2011, the seminar group debates how the notion of the declassifiying class in the young Marx is critically reconsidered in post-Marxism in divergent ways – serving as points of departure for philosophical re-readings of Marx, which bypass the economico-theoretical lines of his thought and lead to a certain Marx without Marxism. For this seminar, introduced by Theory researcher Karl Lydén, there will be a discussion of two texts by Jacques Rancière (see below).
In his 1995 book Disagreement, Rancière reconsiders his criticism of Marxism, stating that the idea of a pure proletarian act, of a declassifying class that dissolutes the bourgeois society and simultaneously unfolds its productive forces, catalysed the most radical figure of the archi-police. Rancière defends his hypothesis by examining the relation of politics and philosophy. In Marx, too, he argues, political philosophy attempts to finish with politics by substituting itself for politics, acting as if it could complete itself as politics and, hence, abolishing the scandal of thinking that is proper to politics, i.e. the activity of disagreement.
