Tanizaki, Deleuze e Fetichismo

The "Tanizaki, Deleuze and Fetishism" workshop (2010/ 2011), lectured by Diana Soeiro, is presented by the Instituto de Filosofia da Linguagem (IFL - Language Philosophy Institute) research centre, at the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences - New University of Lisbon. It will take place during the fall/winter semester, from February 10, 2011 to June 1, 2011. The workshop's starting point consists of two works: “The Key” (1961) by Japanese author Junichiro Tanizaki (1886-1965) and “Masochism – Coldness and Cruelty” (1967) by philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995). Considering the contents, the aim is to understand what is at stake in the dynamics of fetishism, establishing the literary universe of Sade (1740-1818) as one very different to that of Sacher-Masoch (1836-1895), along with Deleuze. Tanizaki’s high-quality work, especially “The Key”, provides an excellent example of such a difference, where the subtleties that tell a sadist dynamics from a masoch dynamics are unmistakeable and, therefore, the author will be a reference in all sessions. The main goal is to provide an introduction to Deleuze’s philosophy, approaching it through an unusual topic, where his genuineness and accuracy are instantly recognisable. For detailed information, see this blog’s first post. (The course will be lectured in Portuguese though the main texts used in the workshop are in French and/or English.)
