What: 1^st Annual ‘Thinking Theory’ Workshop 2011 on Lacan/Deleuze

as a part of the: Sonic Futures: Soundscapes and the Languages of Screen Media

23 June 2011 – 26. June 2011 London

Objective: This one-day workshop aims to gather two key note speakers and two panels for a discussion on aspects of the work of Jacques Lacan and Gilles Deleuze that intersect with concepts of sound in the cinema. Each keynote will give a one hour lecture followed by a discussion, before the panels present their papers. The aim of the workshop is to assemble researchers, graduate students, PhD and post-doctorates and engage them in a vivid discussion. If the spatial possibilities permit, the workshop is open to anybody who is interested in Lacanian/Deleuzian thinking. We want to create a relaxed research environment within which students and academics alike would feel comfortable asking questions and discussing the work of these two complex seminal theorists. The purpose of the workshop is to create an intellectually exciting and enriching interchange on sound and image between all the participants.
