OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
WORKSHOP 'Science and other different things. Variations on Deleuzian themes'
The philosophies of Deleuze, Simondon, Ruyer are entwined with their authors’ understandings of the mathematics, sciences, and technologies of their time.
Readers of these philosophers are familiar with terms such as singularities, metastability, transduction, morphogenesis, information, plateaus… as they inform and structure their works. These works, in turn, may be read with questions in mind coming from our endeavours to make sense of things that surround us today. This process might introduce a move on the way one feels allowed to use these terms that, suddenly, seem to lose their acquired philosophical binds to face, once again, the question of their pertinence for particular scientific or technical questions or for different scopes. In this workshop we convene researchers who are interested in this kind of diving from Deleuzian perspectives, both into contemporary science and into other different things – with a special attention to the variations of this experience in the passage from one thing to another when one re-emerges.
