The Deleuze Seminars
The Deleuze Seminars is an ongoing project with the purpose to transcribe and translate the Deleuze seminars recorded (by Hidenobu Suzuki) between 1979 and 1987, as well as to provide additional transcriptions and translations of texts that preceded the successive Suzuki recordings and of various important texts by Deleuze that appeared during (or shortly after) Deleuze’s teaching career.
The project was undertaken with support, first, from Purdue University and then the National Endowment for the Humanities. The initial transcripts and translations focused on the 1985-86 Foucault seminar, and then branched out to different seminars between 1979 and 1987. The current NEH grant supports translation of the Cinema seminars, 1 (1981-82) and 2 (1982-83), which are now fully available, with many sessions of Cinema seminar 3 (1983-84) already completed.
Anyone interested in Deleuze at any level of familiarity and in any field of study is welcome to explore the site at the address indicated above. Also, we seek anyone who may have attended the Deleuze seminars in the 1970s and 1980s to share their experience with us and, if possible, to share recordings made of sessions, many of which in the 1970s remain unavailable.
