La BNF à la recherche de mécènes pour acquérir un précieux fonds d’archives de Marcel Proust

I'm incredibly grateful to have received a Stephen Copley Research Award, which will allow me to conduct archival work at the Bibliothèque nationale de France & the Institut de France on Gérard de Nerval.

Delighted to be going to Stockholm next week for the International Deleuze & Guattari Studies Conference, where I'll be presenting a paper on deterritorialized desire, transversal sense, and aesthetic multiplicity in Gérard de Nerval and Marcel Proust.

Applications will be assessed based on financial need & the strength of the submitted abstract.

Delegates whose papers are accepted will receive an email in February with information about the application process.

post-conference fragments from Turin

If you're in Turin this week, please do consider coming to the Fonctions du surréalisme conference, where I'll be presenting my paper on Buñuel this Friday.

yes! presentations will be in Italian, French, and English. here's a link to the programme: www.fonctionsdusurrealisme.unito.it/programme

I've devoted very little time to planning this trip, so if anyone has any café recommendations in Turin (particularly ones where I'd be able to work for an hour or two), please do let me know.

I'm off to Italy next week (for the very first time!) to present my paper, 'Desire, Multiplicity, & Becoming – Deleuze, Derrida, & Fragmented Subjectivities in Luis Buñuel’s Cet obscur objet du désir,' at the Fonctions du surréalisme conference at the University of Turin.

perhaps not to start with, but Husserl's non-representational theory of mind and phenomenology, and Deleuze and Guattari on multiplicity/agencement, where things are constituted by a constellation of ‘utterances, modes of expressions […] signs' (see Two Regimes of Madness), might be useful?
