This week, Charles Stivale and Dan Smith returned to the podcast to discuss a series of lectures Deleuze delivered titled "Painting and the Question of Concepts". They also shared a bit about their experience with the Deleuze Seminars project hosted by Purdue University.
Quick recap
The team discussed the introduction of a new feature on Zoom that can summarize discussions. They also discussed the difference between a summary and a transcription, with Taylor noting that the summary feature was not as detailed as a transcription. The conversation then moved to a discussion about a future book based on revised transcripts of Deleuze's 1981 painting seminars. The team also discussed the content of the cinema books and their translations, as well as the author's view on modern art and philosophy. The discussion ended with Taylor bringing up the idea of practicing the act of deletion in pre-pictorial art.
Summary

The team discussed the difference between a summary and a transcription, with Taylor noting that the summary feature was not as detailed as a transcription. They also discussed the potential difficulty of creating transcripts and the possibility of using AI to generate auto captions. The conversation then moved to a discussion about a future book based on revised transcripts of Deleuze's 1981 painting seminars. The team also discussed the content of the cinema books and their translations. They then moved on to discuss the author's view on modern art and philosophy. The discussion ended with Taylor bringing up the idea of practicing the act of deletion in pre-pictorial art. The team also discussed the genesis of the Produce seminar program and the challenges faced in adding content and understanding the project's goals. They also discussed the collaborative nature of their project, emphasizing the importance of a team approach over individual efforts to ensure consistency and quality.
Charles' research interests include 19th-century French novels, contemporary critical theory and cultural studies, and writings of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, as well as serving as co-director, with Prof. Daniel W.

Brian Massumi joined Cooper and Taylor for a discussion on his forthcoming book: The Personality of Power: A Theory of Fascism for Anti-Fascist Life.
Massumi was instrumental in introducing the work of French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari to the English-speaking world through his translation of their key collaborative work A Thousand Plateaus (1987) and his book A User's Guide to Capitalism and Schizophrenia: Deviations from Deleuze and Guattari (1992).[2] His 1995 essay "The Autonomy of Affect",[3] later integrated into his most well-known work, Parables for the Virtual: Movement, Affect, Sensation (2002), is credited with playing a central role in the development of the interdisciplinary field of affect studies.[4]
Massumi received his B.A. in Comparative Literature at Brown University (1979) and his Ph.D in French Literature from Yale University (1987). After a Mellon postdoctoral fellowship in the Stanford University Department of French and Italian (1987-1988), he settled in Montréal, Canada, where he taught first at McGill University (Comparative Literature Program) and later at the Université de Montréal (Communication Department), retiring in 2018. Massumi has lectured widely around the world, and his writings have been translated into more than fifteen languages.
Since 2004, he has collaborated with the SenseLab,[5] founded by Erin Manning[6] as an experimental "laboratory for thought in motion" operating at the intersection of philosophy, art, and activism.

Jeffrey Bell joined us to speak about his recently published book, An Inquiry into Analytic-Continental Metaphysics.
Jeffrey A. Bell is Professor of Philosophy at Southeastern Louisiana University. He has recently been a Leverhulme Trust Visiting Professor in Philosophy at Royal Holloway, University of London, during which time much of this book was written. He is the author of numerous books and articles on Deleuze and Deleuze and Guattari, including Deleuze and Guattari's What is Philosophy?: A Critical Introduction and Guide (Edinburgh University Press, 2016), Deleuze’s Hume (Edinburgh University Press, 2008), Philosophy at the Edge of Chaos (University of Toronto Press, 2006) and The Problem of Difference: Phenomenology and Poststructuralism (University of Toronto Press, 1998). Bell is co-editor with Paul Livingston and Andrew Cutrofello of Beyond the Analytic–Continental Divide: Pluralist Philosophy in the Twenty-First Century (Routledge, 2015) and with Claire Colebrook of Deleuze and History (Edinburgh University Press, 2009).
By developing a metaphysics of problems, Jeffrey Bell shows how the history of both the analytic and continental traditions of philosophy can be seen to be an ongoing response to the problem of regresses. By highlighting this shared history, Bell brings these two traditions back together to address problems that have been essential to their projects all along and central to much of the history of philosophy.

Michael Hardt returned to discuss his most recent book, The Subversive Seventies.
Hardt argues that the 1970s offers an inspiring and useful guide for contemporary radical political thought and action. Although we can still learn much from the movements of the sixties, that decade's struggles for peace, justice, and freedom fundamentally marked the end of an era. The movements of the seventies, in contrast, responded directly to emerging neoliberal frameworks and other structures of power that continue to rule over us today. They identified and confronted political problems that remain central for us. The 1970s, in this sense, marks the beginning of our time. Looking at a wide range of movements around the globe, from the United States, to Guinea Bissau, South Korea, Chile, Turkey, and Italy, The Subversive Seventies provides a reassessment of the political action of the 1970s that sheds new light not only on our revolutionary past but also on what liberation can be and do today.
