"What Is the Unconscious?" Seminar 5: Towards a Molecular Unconscious

Hi All,

Alan is hosting part 5 (of 6) of the "What Is the Unconscious?" Seminar, which involves Deleuze.

Here's Alan's write-up:

The unconscious is not a theatre, it’s a factory. Far from being a representational field, it is a system of production. It produces desires, connections, and realities. Desire is not lack – it is a force of nature. “But in reality the unconscious belongs to the realm of physics; the body without organs and its intensities are not metaphors, but matter itself.”

In this talk we will discover what Deleuze means when he distinguishes between the molecular and the molar, what is the rhizome and its lines of flight, and Borges’ map on The Exactitude of Science, and tie them all together to understand that you are always and everywhere much more than yourself.
