Applying Theory to Practice:
Putting Deleuze to Work
This began life as a series of
academic papers and notes for them for
various European sociology of education
journals. They rejected them for some odd
reasons – I think they hoped I would apply
Deleuzian concepts not criticize Deleuze
(shocking!). They couldn't decide if it all
fitted 'education' or not, which they defined
quite differently even among themselves. They
didn’t like Bourdieu (in a soc of ed journal!).
They wanted more Guattari. They can fuck off. I
have reorganized the pieces as teaching material
instead. I have broken this into smaller
sections, but they do follow on.
This has helped me produce a hyperlinked
document too. I have substantial notes on many
pieces by Deleuze, Bourdieu, DeLanda and others,
and I can link you through to them from these
documents. There are also some excellent video
lectures by the great people (not Deleuze and
Guattari though, who died too soon) on the
marvellous European Graduate School You Tube
channel. Search for named authors.
