Deleuze Versus Agamben on Creativity and Resistance

What is a creative act? In other words, what is the nature of the forces which bring 'the new' into the world? Also, what is the role of resistance and the potential not to act against notions of creativity? In this episode, Craig, Will, and Adam perform a close reading of Gilles Deleuze's "What is a Creative Act?" and Giorgio Agamben's response, "What is an Act of Creation?", examining the respective nuances in the philosophers' views of creativity.

3:45 Adam’s indignation towards unprincipled business professors and school administrators was simply delightful.

Be artists together instead of being a capitalist or even expressing your living, excess, desire, memory in the capitalist realm. Participating with the objects produced is being an artist. Be in - formed.by art rather than informed by art commodities.

Why constant move with the camera back and forth? Make it static and it would be perfect. Thank you for yet another fascinating episode.

Though I don’t find the movement itself unpleasant, the speed of the movement is a tad nauseating lol.

Great show again guys, pity most of western governments are working for and following the propaganda set out in “The diplomatic documents of the elders of AIPAC” whose financiers are obviously funding them, please remember “Christ Is Lord” and what our saviour did in Matthew 21:12-13. It is sad that western governments have now become servants of a foreign land (AIPAC) and forgotten that “Christ is lord” and not AIPAC financiers. Judgment day is coming and orthodoxy may save you if you follow Christ and see him as your saviour and not AIPAC.

Super interesting stuff. Thank you for this. Would be interested in hearing what your takes are on Deleuze and theatre (as the specific form of art)! Thinking of Beckett's Catastrophe in relation to this podcast episode, and Deleuze's response to Beckett's work. Solidarity from Cambridge UK.

It’s hard to see, but some lists have it that there are encampments at over 100 universities in the USA. In the UK there are plenty too - the one at my university (Manchester) in Brunswick Park is in the center of campus and is quite large
