Gilles Deleuze&rsquo\;s work functions as a philosophical crossroads&mdash\;not a static intersection\, but a zone of conceptual turbulence where traditions collide\, mutate\, and diverge. Rather than merely interpreting or inheriting philosophical lineages\, Deleuze deterritorializes them\, constructing a living conceptual ecology that propels thought toward what remains unthought. His philosophical singularity lies less in offering definitive answers than in reconfiguring the very terms of the question&mdash\;transforming philosophy into a machine for the invention of problems and the creation of new trajectories.
\nAs part of the centenary commemorations of Gilles Deleuze&rsquo\;s birth\, this workshop invites contributions that examine how his work continues to resonate within contemporary philosophical debates. We propose a twofold orientation: a retrospective approach\, investigating how Deleuze rearticulates figures and concepts from the philosophical tradition\; and a prospective approach\, exploring how these reconfigured elements intersect with\, challenge\, or diverge from current theoretical frameworks. Our aim is to develop a cartography of tensions&mdash\;mapping where Deleuzian concepts provoke\, falter\, or generate new paths for thought. To stand at this crossroads is to engage philosophy as a practice in motion&mdash\;an open invitation not to preserve these lines\, but to follow\, displace\, and extend them.
\nWe invite proposals for 20-min scholarly contributions addressing the workshop themes outlined above. Interested speakers should submit a 300-word abstract and a brief biographical note (max. 120 words) to \;rcanales@letras.ulisboa.pt \;with the subject &ldquo\;Deleuze Lisbon&rdquo\; \;by \;June 1st \;2025. Selected submissions will be confirmed by June 3th. The working language of the conference will be English. Register and attendance are free for all participants.
