This week, Charles Stivale and Dan Smith returned to the podcast to discuss a series of lectures Deleuze delivered titled "Painting and the Question of Concepts". They also shared a bit about their experience with the Deleuze Seminars project hosted by Purdue University.

Quick recap
The team discussed the introduction of a new feature on Zoom that can summarize discussions. They also discussed the difference between a summary and a transcription, with Taylor noting that the summary feature was not as detailed as a transcription. The conversation then moved to a discussion about a future book based on revised transcripts of Deleuze's 1981 painting seminars. The team also discussed the content of the cinema books and their translations, as well as the author's view on modern art and philosophy. The discussion ended with Taylor bringing up the idea of practicing the act of deletion in pre-pictorial art.
