Deleuze’s Migrants and Nomads: The European Union in 2014

Eva Aldea (Goldsmiths, University of London)

Tuesday 1 July, 6.30 – 8pm
Wolfson Theatre, New Academic Building, LSE
 
Eva Aldea, Lecturer, Department of English and Comparative Literature, Goldsmiths, University of London
 
Chair: Danielle Sands, Visiting Lecturer, Department of English, QMUL and Forum for European Philosophy Fellow    
 
In 2006 Rosi Braidotti called the European Union a ‘frame of enunciation’ for ‘nomadic identities’. In 2014 the United Kingdom is again pitted against such a ‘continental’ vision of European geodemographics. Deleuze explicitly defines the nomad as different to the migrant. In this talk, Eva Aldea will assess whether Deleuze’s concept of the nomad is still useful for navigating current events and responses to the European project.
