La dernière Polémique polémologie antagoniste c'est-à-dire c'est c'est le dehors au sens du

négatif et la dialectique c'est tout ce qui a détesté ou refuser aux États-Unis évidemment
contribuer à son succès en tout cas polémique et là aussi ça dehors d'autant plus
intéressant que souvent la discipline philosophique fait peu de cas des conflits les plus
violents peuvent leur traverser une histoire de d'exégèse de lecture et de relecture de texte
en désaccord et jusqu'à la folie d'une Camille Palia non sérieux est aussi produite par les
affaires les personnes et aujourd'hui on va être dans le dehors celui qui se revendique
comme désir et joie et puissance du dehors précisément mais c'est pas grave de la
philosophie c'est dehors de la mort la société américaine bien rangée c'est c'est mardi
contre le monde d'accord c'est cet étrange moment histoire intellectuelle américaine un
moment vrai très partiel il faut pas trop s'exciter on verra que c'est un peu un moment
pendant lequel ces textes français ont une place à l'intérieur je sais pas comment l'appeler
mais oui quand même de la un peu excité avant qu'elle ne soit confisqué par l'université où
elle a évidemment davantage trouver sa place un objet soirée mais là on est dans ce cet
étrange et intéressant maman parce qu'il est très très rare dans l'histoire philosophique et il
est surtout rare au présent quasiment puisque là on va s'intéresser à la décennie 70 donc en
train d'écrire même l'essentiel de l'Europe c'est plus important souvent on sait pas et c'est
pas une réappropriation très tardive de Aristote par des cinéastes présent et du coup
malentendu mes interprétations auprès mais ça me plaît pas Activism counterculture and the
refusal of the statistical the first point of context is what happened used processes very
interesting question for you as you know that 1960s is V decade in all human history with
most intense use process ever use comes out as a new political subject okay with the new
political agenda with a real form of power or counterpower and then there is a recess the
recess of the decline of it like all great times of rebellion or Enthusiasm it's very short-lived
so what interests us is what happens after and precisely the meeting with friends Theory
happens in this moment of recess the second question will be this ambivalent notion of
counter culture which we should not take for granted it's a real problematic notion but there's
such a thing as counted culture is not counted culture mainstream culture as soon as we
name it we say counter culture we are about to start a fashion okay finally was very much
more specific point but interesting for you especially want to go through doctors Academy
journals and journals and in this brief moment in the 1970s about 10 to 15 new academys
were founded very different from what you see easily in university accountable very
referential very well read but very strange too so we'll see what these junels did alright so
let's start with this question abuse processor again is this question goes way beyond the
United States what's interesting here is the historical cycle of the last third of the 20th
century basically after World War Two global history went through the time of progress
emancipation of objective improvement of human condition okay rapid rise of black
expectancy okay relatively economy prosperity emancipation of two-thirds in fact they say
happy of the world's population very moderate form of capitalism in capitalist countries okay
and a gradually softening situation of stelleness rule in finally the rise of this used process
which basically the global message from young people everywhere you know these young
people are 75 year old right and what's interesting about them is that they are I don't know
lucky generation makes sense but if it makes sense they are histories because they were
born at the end of World War Two are just they enjoy peace and prosperity for the first they
reach the front stage of world History with their products and their matrix liberation you know
sex This generation has been silented it's not on the Frog stage has suffered a lot from the
recess of their use you know victories and enthusiasm some of them went through
depression drugs suicide and some of them across the street and chosen other political so
back to our point the very interesting point is that initially this demography generation I had a
real radical political emissions not soft not sex right because of the rise of politicization of this
group this age okay most of them were happy to communist groups those who were not
demanded claim that capitalism is not to fall down that passive is a week had to make war
illegal right that Tommy bombs everywhere in the world had to be destroyed the game it run
it all agendas what is interesting here this radical agenda gave birth to just sexual but what
happened in the process one has turned the political agenda radical revolutionary agenda
into the Mostly cultural coastal/existential Project another saying that cultural and existence
is less important politics just saying that culture and existence in the way we will see it is
perfectly turned out to be sexually rock and roll turned out in fact he turned out to offer
capitalism a unique opportunity itself in fact to radicalize itself and give birth to everything we
know it's day okay the digital turn okay social media so the operation you have to have in
mind here it's very interesting operation is the operation of separate cutting within the
collective Desire for Change politics from culture politics are one side culturally so of course
it's impossible to point at someone political party as responsible for The Separation but if you
read the media of the 1970s and even the 1980s anywhere in the world we'll see these
people in the media are so happy are we choices but young people have given up their bad
political efficient smell like existential project which we need to have really look at it from
politicians to the media to books to opinion makers all of them you have a participate in this
operation of separating politics from culture or the Collective project and never from an
individuals but from sex or this isdrung arock I cannot summarize it if is

usd amerikanin en büyük james cunnen ogrenci birligi - unamerican things they were doing

All have to do with relapsed teenage boys long hair tattoo using parties but also of course
public money to PayPoint the public money dissociated from class levels and really rules so
it's not overnight to understand there's also one aspect which is that the real political fight the
real political struggle it does continue a minority of the use of the 1960s wants to continue
but it is much more risky released regression I started okay it's much worse in the US on
some campus riots the police users state 1970 50 kids so this is an am not turning down
Mexico so it makes being a revolutionary slightly more risky Enterprise so you do have
minority of them radicalizing their struggle but the majority would rather modern and you also
have a very important issue which is a relation with civil right movements segregation so it
the same kind of the moderate groups get dissolved or lose power Martin Luther King is
assassinated 68 and the radical groups separate to them leave them the parts from them but
black panthers black power whether on the ground and in this process of running they
should some of the Jews to refuse white rivers which is a strategic mistake because they do
need this connection so it it does contribute to widening the gaps and finding is what I said
there is the larger context economy context with the two economy recessions of the 19703
and 777 and the rise of in one is almost unknown in the US it did happen once in the 1930s
after the big crash of 1929 so it's a new thing and with unemployment you think twice before
choosing to study velocity but also choosing to collectives ended up in jail by your own
universities in a way the future of the left progresses versus conservative neutral and it's
also more relevant because each of them being divided so that's a progressive reactions as
in things need to change still today okay with emancipation and liberties you know to be
expanded on one side and on the other side maintaining the status Quo if not coming back
to an order so if you want to understand it became mostly the cultural/existential slash feel
good Not all but a good portion of working class people do vote on the far right not because
they are racist or sexist or patreon not at all but because there's no progressive party with
our agenda serving their condition so this sort of becoming cultural of Progressive politics is
the key here historical point but it's a key also for our story this is the words if you want to
stay radical if you feel guilty to separate politics from culture or LEDs that is great to use a
radical to read and interpret length radical philosophers or even to rhetorically propose
radical breaks such as the end of Western civilization or the irreversible decline of white
western it becomes the rhetorical consolation compensation it really filled the void in the
Void left by radical left politics all these things found space indeed the white Western male
needs to be constructed to the side okay and in fact indictable and courts I'm saying that the
way it worked in universities in classes did they are radical music Question is notion of
counter so here I refer you are invested the canonical book on this which is a book by a US
historian Theodore Rosa to making of making of interesting is always a temporary
autonomous zone using this temporary autonomous zone zone of temporary autonomy in
that exist but nobody and shorter in fact once it's shut down or betrayed or transform into
something mainstream it might start again elsewhere it's really disclosure you start a fire
anywhere but watch out for the initial prior to come off temporary autonomous zone is a
notion by the author who has a text it's called book by French but he suggests that radical
breaks with the existing order can only happen in small and Plains of space and time culture
happens on the border between radical rebellion literally rebellion and cultural creation it's
when the revolutionary project becomes takes a creative form thanks to form what bill
performance can be Visual Arts can be ways of living not necessarily art that you guys
decide to you know start a community altogether it might be counted a sense that it's culture
as the former life life but usually it's associated with the creation of new forms Okay are You
familiar with the work of zacultier so much yet this distortion of very interesting lotion called
by that which was interesting interesting English as the distribution of the sensible
distribution which is close perception form Exactement A new fashionable commodity
because it has been reappropriated by major cultural industry which it always is at that
moment the political power of counter culture Vanishes in fact the markets because it looks
cool it looks new it looks aversive but it's the opposite this process is not the point here this
process you can apply to the history of rap music started in terms of edited by musicals in
1960s and 70s in Detroit USA whereas the music labeled most between that and
mainstreamers of the 80's and Century with their very mainstream usually success
developed we actually lyrics so there's also some things but then rap of course is the Works
within rock music you still have radical lyrics independent producers groups but you see it's
continuously evolving process so you can do to say I don't know if you are familiar with
situations yes it corresponds to a true there's a true affiliation of radical subversity lifestyles
these people were writing poetry do you writing alcohol dying your pure except at the end of
between essentially situation it's invented by associated with situationism became almost
advertisers advertisers who became in the 1980s and 1990s the new reference the new cool
people had situation is preferences has situation is jokes acted like you say that you can see
where that you know living Theater surely some current within independent cinemas video
so this process is very also a collective which no longer exists you can all buy it you know
identify that is no longer collected Project also it is not here a link with the collected also link
with specific locations are always as a relation to space why because if counter culture is a
radical refusal of U.S Society of existing order then where do you do not leave the United
States you might stay but you need to create a location the physical science Of occupying
the city say we are here we do exist and we will not leave we stay here for these words in
New York downtown manhattanoo Harlan everything where evicted starting in the 1980s for
real estate promotion listed promoters evicted squatters and replace the DK squats by brand
new buildings or physical it's a hotel and 23rd Street Downtown Manhattan where basically
all counter-cultural figures I won't go out figures have gone by French philosophers such as
when they visit New York we go to the Chelsea hotel I was the place to go down one floor
and not gonna go work and he's reach our guitar it was really all of you as music are vibrant
cultural life to place in that hotel it's very affordable prices pseudo counter culture looking like
a theme park and a thousand dollars for rooms the third interest Within this context is this
rise of brand new jurors it's interesting is again if you go to the PHC level and it's University
you will end up hopefully it's great writing bibles for academic journals in English In every
discipline what's interesting and then in this field of literary studies that we saw last week
new type of tools who are founded in the 1970s they were trying to continue the subversive
energy of the 1960s within the pages of an academically acceptable to the compromise
radical ideas in the County clean journal with a pretty expensive subscription but with brand
new text offers in that even the four of these journals was traded okay with apertures
drawing it all surrealist strategy you know substance in English sub Is is kind of a statement
and if you're missing pushes you substance in soup position kind of resonate with southern
culture subclass Glyph to ntp split diet critics boundary social debts and I will mention one as
key for our story that is simulate the last between brackets in 1973 by crazy man named
America who is probably the most important mediator of French Theory introduced texts a
French philosophy in the US if you check I mean published it they're great issues issues of
cellulosex in the 1970s just one example is an issue on each returns like comical political
flyer program sometimes I just cure philosophical text it's a mix of advertising posters
derided look drawings that needs she belongs to subversion and that needs you must be
confiscated from conservative courses who had appropriated his work in the first century and
mostly made available this work must be made available to progresses it was interesting too
is if I mean more titles if you check all of these journals you check the first 10 years of their
existence from early 70s to early 80s there's a very interesting evolution most of them were
founded more like intelligible remember textology structurally more and more interested in
the works of those get out from basically radical literary Theory to niche in French Open
these total issues well right so now before we go into the text we are going summarize this
effect of counterculture on theory and the theory things meet each other in a specific
historical moment was left from this is a mutual influence mutual traces scattered phrases of
the 1970s shows a few scattered traces of French and French philosophy of the 1978 and
this this type of philosophy does refer from time to radical performance so that there are
traces of their encounter scattering

Madness: American country culture of that time and this group of French philosophers is
many had an unprecedented interest into Madness mental dissolvemental disorders and
their refreshold or treatment by social norms but also To mental disorder as a key point in
the dominant eye books together subtitled capitalism and schizophrenia because they
believed that schizophrenia was deployed through which capitalism was getting us winning
the gates by using our schizophrenic energies to sell us things raise our desires we didn't
realize our lives to pleasure Schizophrenic people they are sent to psychiatric institutions
okay they are not treated the winners shouldn't do very strong medication this mental
disorder is treated through recession so they make schizophrenia joining point if we can we
appropriate our schizophrenic energies while remaining aware that they might take us but
keeping you know keeping the motor out then we might Sabotage capitalism cannot use our
fantasies of becoming something else okay of endlessly diversifying what we are then just
physician so madness and Magnus of course on the American side is a key but this is
obvious Madness has always because if avant garde need something it means the
expansion of control creation into everyday life every day existence. Project an official
political project doing it because the people who do it cannot do anything else doing it
because they do not fit the existing social order okay writers committing suicide it doesn't
you know in the we have a room for romantic cliche you probably need to be suicidal to be a
good artist it's I have to do with this way of not fitting so we didn't come as suicide because it
had a radical approach to their own works they alive and keep painting but they could not
because we're left but Council culture has to do is The Witness and the way you live is equal
variable with the existing social and back then in US again but you have the beatnik points
around Pittsburgh Lawrence and William burrells is not associated with used and promoted
to use apparent as the allegory to see the truth so this is typically Madness not like an
accident in your life but Madness as the only truth even if it's a life of separate then you have
Theater with Dance with Mers killing him you have literature all forms of literature radical
independent cinema the early 1970s the first feminist cultural Creations Literature in cinema
also this is a vibranting time where I didn't say in France basically finding the booking on
canvas doing stuff like that was automatically it was Unthinkable that the field or basically to
do with something else for instructions I think we're going to the concept that will be more
precisely into the concepts common Concepts Theory then you understand how they
intersect with the US and what the USer intellectual anti-conformance of which was filled
with concepts like a few books each of the new Concepts that they offerings books perfect
difference itself process of difference related to identity different as the opposite divided
entity it's different as coming first and unfolding and less process of different translations
everything that has to do with stuff scattered around us that you cannot totalize that you
cannot gather into one entity the unable but that's the definition of social margins in the US
did notation of the city it's very different from France to different counter culture quite quickly
because something subsidized by the French ministry of culture right there will be building
money because we love it because it's great but the whole series of problems in order if you
actually there's no public authority and in fact there's no ways to join the main street
essential margin remain margins all the get gentrified was then of course if you find the
whole theory of power US okay we'll go back to that but you know that the entire world is a
new Theory the refusal to associate power with a substance the real position located in
Society and rather like the dissemination then of course much more central U.S country
culture is the concept of desire

Desire is also Central to the workers to the work. Does not sell or produce or disseminine
anything else than Desire that's why you immediately is limited and he invented new way of
writing itself he makes a theories that you develops a whole list of intensities where we are
touched by intensity so this theories Desire what else desired something we can fulfill as so
as I responded the central topic that user takes and you see on you're going to expand the
corpus again you know and when we said the subject with the law the subject production
labor and consumption fits also specific finally third issue 13

Existance Bridge between friends theory and agriculture this notion that you can you could
maybe stranger here performing Theory apart from teaching it fast which is a performance
minimal performance for you what I'm saying here is that there have been 2970s a little
much less in the following decades still in performance. of this moment of theory can Theory
result in not actually like taking power breaking windows and fighting the police action as in
changing your life inventing unit lifestyles altogether inventing you forms of control
expression which can be actually on the stage or on canvas or inbox or else can hear you
and this is where I should mention the few events mounted by this journalists so you guys
haveacademWhat happened was more like a counter cultural events some of them ended
up with concerts of rock musics people one of them and that was sort of connected sexuality
in other one ended up with taking drugs so but it's associated learning with the presence of
French velocity and commenting and the reason why I've mentioning them is that the actual
encounter happened there and that's it didn't happen only more day-to-day basis maybe it
happened in the sense that in the 1970s students and scholars from Columbia University
were obsessed with discuss them exchange the hand them out in alternative nightclubs and
music and in fact this means that those locations locations suddenly had to do with
philosophy insist on this because this is this might sound like those dimensions it's very rare
that moments of collective energy such as the Knights love it moments of collectedly using
what would actually predict with text so it did connected and it did correct during these one of
them is a 1975 schizophren the second one 1978 to know that convention and the third one
happens two days in the time where comes in this object it was kind of chance (chance par
hasard) Chance to place in a casino in Nevada so we say I mean now thousands of stories
has been told it's really like people tell the people were there some of the story the only thing
we know is that well that's always gives you culture the idea was no longer to introduce
structuralism to the U.S the issue was to introduce schizophrenia no longer as a mental
disease but as a political weapon that's the idea that send you a text they have just read
entitled this right they have read all the text written like as part of his fight against ordinary
psychiatry Who based on that they say that sixth Freya is where capitalism traps that's what
we have realselves it's a culture that everything is those supermarkets advertising but also
how to culture I really went wrong Michelle was interrupted by a communist group Stalin is
communist group told him he was CIA but interrupted by a group of radical feminists who
said that whatever they were said was wrong because there were speaking as male writers
and we're not acknowledging that they will speak this is anticipating on contemporary
debates I mean more recent things you also interrupted also to people were there it was very
chaotic and ended up with you know music and parties some groups were decided to leave
the meeting and to continue it at the Chelsea hotel it's also I think that she does ever Cisco
regular index so you know very interesting after that convention is a different project is the
idea that literature and Philosophy in this case science fiction and French philosophy our
basically doing the same how to say which is to show us that another world or another life
form is possible and to warn us that we are under civilians that we are the control okay that
we conceived as a meeting around the work of William's this event 1938 is called the Novak
prevention because nobody like paranoid entities entities of control and surveillanceyou
have of course we are in a casino so gambling as up okay as it's making presented as the
heart of captivism capitalism as something presented as extremely rational scientific but in
fact the great machine surfing on Accidents and the real appropriation yes

That the way in which Theory really influenced the Mac and university is not in Reading list is
not in reshaping this is not an inspiring colloquial but it might be much more in the way it did
change the life the perception of thousands of students you could say yes it's a moment
where you are isolated away from us Society away from your family cities for few years and
in this moment you might be more influence more sensitive and yes it did change so how
can you get great but how can we demonstrate how can we evidence apart from scholars
products no longer students and we say decided to fight norms come out of the closet or
whatever else but this is retrospective what we're interested in is what happens in the
present moment I think what happens in the first moment is the French Theory in general
offered community to those who read it those who read it they're not really understand it but
would write their own text based on would share it and we even invent language through
which you could recognize who was a member of the theory of which can drive technology
and these created applications subjective and emotional affiliation okay for most of them it
didn't influence the rest of their life but it might have changed there on us Society on the
market economy on the new World Order you know war on ethnic racial diversity their
understanding but very few of them is very used it starts we're no longer here we're dealing
with something much more project that would rendle politics strategies you need to counter
and existing Theory the existing period this is much more volatile we talk about it markers of
they loose community you know what this great term by the community of those who have
no community of those work usually to refer to something very big which is readers those
who read by the active reading joy some sort of the community as part of the
text what I'm saying here that the one we're dealing with poetry exclamation living Theater
upwards everything except velocity and this is why it was disseminated that way because
again you don't disseminate in nightclubs you know and drug experiments full books of
difficult philosophy doing with bits and pieces and those bits and pieces might be the
betrayal of how can you actually severe one word or one concept from the whole logical is
not how can you the question is that some people did and by doing it they invented
something I might be different story of schizophrenia skips a cultures this is not endorse
okay and we the four books they wrote together this not saying what I told you what I told
you it's what they did it by using it like a code to the crowd and schizophrenia take it back
from capitalists and we are properly for yourself chapter of our itinerary it's philosophy
written or maybe even spoken or anybody performs in ways this is exactly what he's there
are gains with quotes by these philosophers this should be a chapter in random comics the
use the code is always a wrong example is always a fragment to the tax from the larger
reasoning but a quote works like blackmail works like an assault okay I am using it to tell you
to shut up or to offer you join so its quickly opening the poster of the schizophren determine
yes the two quotes there the exactly have this role words as markers of a new community
quotes as political programs but quote as possibly not exactly what they're offers so called
by one does not Desire Revolution Desire is revenue quote of what it says here is you
professional revolutionary activists this is because you professional revolution reactivates of
the left you have no idea and we know what it is that we know that the entire political power
of the reason is inside not anywhere else again
