Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari's Thousand Plateaus ft. Professor Ian Buchanan)

PlasticPills and Chris sit down with Ian Buchanan, founder and editor-in-chief of the Deleuze and Guattari Studies Journal. We discuss the work of Deleuze and Guattari, the relationship of their work to that of Foucault, their concept of 'The Refrain' from Thousand Plateaus, and Ian stokes some philosophy drama between Deleuze, Alain Badiou, and Slavoj Zizek. Oh yea and we talk about Disney's Cars and storm troopers in Disneyland.

I didn't know you are doing this on a different channel, why you want to hide this dope stuff.

[@pipersolanas3322]

UGH WHY DOES THIS CHANNEL HAVE 911 SUBS. YOU SHOULD TALK ABOUT THIS MORE ON YOUR MAIN CHANNEL

[@StAmander]

Not even remotely an academic, and yet as soon as I heard Buchanan was one, I was like yes he's pretty well renowned.

[@surajchaudhary613]

Wonderful! Thanks a lot for doing this

[@marscrasher]

i dont like how he says neither revolution nor reform is possible and then argues for reform

[@IGameChangerI]

Always under the tireless attack of bourgeois ideology

[@evitanigaminU]

Reform in that context means to reform liberalism into socialism. The alternative to either revolution and reform would be to just try and make liberalism a little less terrible

Internal necessity - the same expression in Kandinsky's book as the key concept.

Rise above the rest and become the best version of the spiritual self, the Plateau.

21:25 Isn’t Zizek’s interpretation here precisely the opposite: that the death drive isn’t a substantial tendency towards self-immolation, but rather the tendency to disequilibrium that perverts the pleasure principle? Zizek attributes to Freud the idea that the death drive is the very tendency humans have to break out of homeostasis
