Preparation for online publication of English translations of seminar lectures delivered by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995). (36 months)

The aim of our project (The Deleuze Seminars) is to translate the seminar lectures given at the University of Paris between 1979 and 1987 by the influential French philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) and to make them available online at a website devoted to the project (deleuze.cla.purdue.edu). Deleuze is widely recognized as one of the most important and influential European philosophers of the twentieth century, and his writings have had a significant impact not only in philosophy but in disciplines such as film studies, psychology, political science, art history and art criticism, and literary theory. The project will make Deleuze’s work available to a broad English-speaking audience in the humanities.
