Name: QMP25 - Undercommons (with Stefano Harney) by Quarantined Market Podcast
Duration: 1 h 2 min 2 s
Description: Stefano Harney joins us to discuss how his notion of the 'undercommons' could help us understand ways to be collectively subversive and how to rethink the idea of study. (Recorded 5th of June, 2020)

"Dark Deleuze: The Powers of the Outsides," a talked hosted by the University of Washington Department of Urban Design & Planning’s Built Environment Reading Group. 6/25/15

Précis:
Deleuze once told a friend that a “worthwhile book” performs at least three functions: polemics, recovery, and creativity. In writing the book, one must reveal that (1) other scholarship commits an error; (2) an essential insight has been missed; and (3) a new concept can be created.[1] My task is to present all three. First, I argue against the ‘canon of joy’ that celebrates Deleuze as a naively affirmative thinker of connectivity. Second, I rehabilitate to the destructive force of negativity that pervades his work. Third, I argue for learning a ‘hatred for this world.’

Emerging from scholars concerned with the intolerable condition of the present, the darkness refashions a revolutionary Deleuze; revolutionary negativity in a world characterized by compulsory happiness, decentralized control, and overexposure.[5] The ultimate task of this approach is not the creation of concepts, and to the extent that it does, Dark Deleuze creates concepts only to write apocalyptic science fiction.[6]
