OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Point - Line - Plane: Affect and/through Conceptual Personae (A Mini-Workshop of Sorts)
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’).
