Curso Livre IFL "Tanizaki, Deleuze e Fetichismo"

2010-06-28T18:10:03Z

Agradece-se divulgação:

.....
Curso Livre IFL "Tanizaki, Deleuze e Fetichismo"
7 de Outubro 2010 | 20 de Janeiro 2011

"O Curso Livre "Tanizaki, Deleuze e Fetichismo" (2010/ 2011) tem como docente Diana Soeiro e é proposto pelo Instituto de Filosofia da Linguagem (IFL) integrado na Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas - Universidade Nova de Lisboa. Decorre no 1º semestre, de 7 de Outubro 2010 a 20 de Janeiro 2011.

O curso tem como pretexto duas obras: “A Confissão Impúdica” (1961) do autor Japonês Junichirô Tanizaki (1886-1965) e “Apresentação de Sacher-Masoch” (1967) do filósofo Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995). Pretende-se, tomando-as como mote, compreender melhor o que é que está em causa na dinâmica do fetichismo, distinguindo com Deleuze o universo literário de Sade (1740-1818), enquanto diferente do de Sacher-Masoch (1836-1895). A obra de Tanizaki, na literatura, é um bom exemplo das subtilezas que distinguem uma dinâmica sadiana de uma dinâmica masochista e por isso estará em foco em todas as sessões. O grande objectivo é uma introdução ao pensamento de Deleuze, de uma forma pouco usual, onde a seriedade e exactidão do filósofo marcam presença."

Inscrições: 1ª fase: 28 de Junho - 8 de Julho 2010 | 2ª fase: 25 de Agosto - 10 de Setembro 2010
