Dr. Dror Yinon “Rhizome and the Search for a Method”
The lecture will focus on Deleuze’s attempt at elaborating a new way of describing and theorizing phenomena (mostly those attached to humanities and the social sciences). Replacing the classical image of the Cartesian tree with that of the Rhizome, Deleuze opens a new way of understanding multiplicity and avoiding its distorting unification with a method of tracing the dynamics and intensities of multiplicities.

Prof. Silvia Benso “Waterworks in Levinas’s Philosophy”
Through an analysis of images of water in Levinas’s philosophy, the lecture focuses on the topic of water as a natural element possibly suffused with ethical reflections—with Levinas and beyond. What is the place of water in Levinas’s philosophy? What, if anything, does water have to teach a philosophical discourse such as Levinas’s ethics?
Although not a pervasive image in Levinas’s narrative, water appears as a powerful metaphor as well as an instrument for the work of ethics.

Dr. Dror Yinon “Beyond Consent and Dissent: Deleuze‘s Political Philosophy”
The lecture will focus on Deleuze's political thought as addressing the classical political problem of individualism in a new way. Drawing on liberal as well as post-marxist thinkers I will show that old solutions to the problem of individuality such as the securing of a private sphere, or dissenting, ignore the extent to which individuality itself is the product of processes leading to conformism. Deluze’s thought is shown then to face this new challenge.
