Public Defense of a Doctoral Dissertation in Philosophy - Vivien Giet

This dissertation proposes to analyze the transformation of subjectivation and the revolutionary event through the works of Walter Benjamin and Gilles Deleuze.Methodologically, the aim is less to compare these two authors or to postulate the existence of a shared thought than to create a “collage,” in the sense proposed in Difference and Repetition, in order to highlight and bring into tension disparate elements through juxtaposition.On a theoretical level, the challenge is to account for the ruptures with causal and signifying chains that revolutionary moments reveal. From this perspective, we extend the Deleuze-Guattarian idea of the “utopia of immanence.” Developed during a fleeting convergence with the Frankfurt School, it situates revolutionary politics in a non-place: outside of stratifications and in opposition to social formations. Driven by a Benjaminian impulse, this notion is unfolded in its negative dimension.In turn, the tradition of the oppressed is drawn onto this plane of immanence. Far from establishing subterranean continuities between established minorities, it consists in the exploration of a field of ruins from which it becomes possible to break with culture and humanity frozen into monumental forms.The JuryProf. Louis CARRÉ (Chair), UNamurProf. Sébastien LAOUREUX (Advisor, Secretary), UNamurProf. Éric ALLIEZ (Co-advisor), University of Paris 8Prof. Jacques-Olivier BÉGOT, University of RennesProf. Maud HAGELSTEIN, ULiègeProf. Frédéric RAMBEAU, University of Paris 8You are cordially invited to attend this defense.The announcement of the results will be followed by a reception in the Academic Hall.
