Episode 10: Deleuze, Digital Media & Thought: A Conversation with Tim Deane-Freeman

Tim Deane-Freeman talks to Meg McCamley and Tim Neal about his new book Deleuze, Digital Media & Thought, which places Deleuze’s philosophy in dialogue with both cinema and the concept of information. In this context, they discuss philosophy, film, TV and social control, and the broader challenge of embracing a kind of thought which eschews recognition in order to confront the radically new. Tim Deane-Freeman is a sessional lecturer in philosophy at Deakin, and Meg McCamley and Tim Neal are both Deakin PhD candidates.

Episode 3: The Ethics of Food Production

When we think about the ethics and politics of food we tend to think in terms of animal welfare or environmental degradation. But as Deakin’s Dr Christopher Mayes argues in his new book Unsettling Food Politics, there's much more to the politics and ethics of agriculture and food production.

Episode 2: Recognition and Refusal

In the wake of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, the issue of indigenous sovereignty has become more visible in Australian life. What role does 'recognition' play in these struggles for sovereignty? Should indigenous groups seek to be recognised by the states and societies they find themselves confronting? Or is seeking recognition itself a form of subjugation? Professor Yin Paradies spoke on this topic at a recent PHI seminar event.

We're told we now live in a 'post-truth' era. But are we? What does that mean? Is being 'post-truth' even possible? And if that's really where we are, how do we get out?

Read Cathy's paper "The Solution to Poor Opinions is More Opinions"
