The ethics of the event in Deleuze

In an atmosphere of celebration of the centenary of the philosopher Gilles Deleuze, Casa Khōra invites Professor Frederico Lemos to teach the course “The ethics of the event in Deleuze”. Its proposal is to offer an introduction to Deleuzian ethics with a focus on the problem of the event elaborated in the book Lógica do Sentido (1969).

For Deleuze, events do not cease to insist on our lives and to be painfully effected in our bodies. The ethical question would then be: how to think and practice a way of life that is up to what happens to us, capable of affirming what happens to us? More precisely, Deleuze asks himself: how to reinvent life from our ruptures and wounds, how to operate the creative “counter-effect” of an event? In the light of this question and the intercessions forged by Deleuze between philosophy, literature and psychoanalysis, the course will address the relations between body and language, the paradox of events and the idea of amor fati.
