This workshop introduces participants to Nietzsche’s ‘anti-method’ method, and the manner in which he employs historical perspectivism for the sake of building agonisitic and life-affirming forms of knowledge. Moving beyond the aphoristic and dramatic form of Nietzsche’s writing, participants will see how Deleuze and Foucault used Nietzsche to develop ‘poststructuralist’ critiques of post-industrial capitalism and liberal democracy, and how and why such critiques should be used and extended in the context of contemporary critical research.

Facilitator: Professor Nathan Widder (RHUL).
