Strata and the diagram: Deleuze's Ontological Reconstruction of Foucault by Dr. Manoj NY

Описание: Day 3 of the Seven-Day National Faculty Development Programme (FDP) at SRMIST features a deep dive into Continental Philosophy with Dr. Manoj NY (SRM University, AP & Kyung Hee University, Seoul).

In this session, titled "Strata and the Diagram: Deleuze’s Ontological Reconstruction of Foucault," Dr. Manoj explores Gilles Deleuze’s 1986 interpretation of Foucault’s work. The lecture moves beyond a simple guide to provide a new "map of thought" focused on the three pillars of Knowledge, Power, and the Outside.

Key Concepts Covered:

The Three Dimensions: Knowledge (Archive/Strata), Power (Diagram/Force), and the Outside (Subjectivation).

Archaeology to Genealogy: The transition from visible structures to the microphysics of power and biopower.

Societies of Control: Moving from Foucault’s disciplinary surveillance to Deleuze’s concept of modulation.

The Fold: Understanding the "self-becoming" that allows for resistance and new forms of life.

Theory as Practice: Intellectual work as an intervention to undermine power structures.

About the Speaker:
Dr. Manoj NY is the General Secretary of the Deleuze and Guattari Studies in India Collective and a prominent voice in the Indian Posthuman Network. His transdisciplinary work spans Media Studies, Continental Philosophy, and Speculative Ecologies.
