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.
This workshop considers an approach to affect that moves across three different (but not fully separable) modes or ontological registers (quasi-Spinozist in nature): point, line, and plane. We will also entertain examples of work within affect studies that often takes up a proximate position in relation to one of these registers more than the others, and then look to how this plays out through subtle – or sometimes not-so-subtle – shadings of critical attention and writing practices. Finally, through a group exercise that enacts Deleuze and Guattari’s notion of ‘conceptual personae,’ we will generate a cluster of affect-worldings that creatively play with (across?) the tensions, the bleeds and border patrollings that give necessary shape, texture, and buoyancy to disciplinary knowledge/s (as an ‘embodiment of a particular exercise of thought, each with its peculiar style’).
