International Conference "What Is Style?"

Department of Electronic Culture and Semiotics, FHS CU invites you to attend the International Conference "What Is Style? Revisiting Deleuze and Derrida."


The conference "What is Style? Revisiting Deleuze and Derrida" aims to rethink the semiotic problem of style, which is understood as result of continuous composition and variation of signs/traces. This purpose should be reached by considering Deleuzeˈs work on montage/repetition and Derridaˈs work on dissemination/iterability. Both thinkers focus on the same problem of a compulsory "eternal return" of the slightly different, which is usually taken as the same, the identical, the recognizable.


Nevertheless, Deleuzeˈs  understanding of the expression as an affective becoming differs considerably from Derridaˈs hauntology of deferrals and supplements. While Deleuze speaks about "joyful" assemblage and montage of signs, Derrida focuses on "melancholic" dissemination of traces. Is there a crucial difference between Deleuzeˈs repetition and Derridaˈs iteration? What is the style in these two philosophical perspectives? What makes us recognize oneˈs style?


The conference takes place in Jinonice on 4/5 November.

Working language is English.
