Alain Badiou. Destruction, Negation, Subtraction. 2007 1/10

[elroquero99]

Thanks for uploading all this videos. It´s just incredible to be able to listen to all this brilliant minds giving lectures.

However, I´m a spanish-native speaker (from uruguay) and sometimes I miss a couple of words. I read that there may be transcrypts for some of the videos.Is that so? If it is, please tell me where can i find them. If there are, i´ll try to subtitle as many as I can, in order to help other people to know them. I wait for your answer. Thanks again.

3:20 badiou goes all out clapping alone and then stops

Avital Ronnell is, to me, the manifestation of all that is wrong with philosophy today.

[dreamofpauyu]

Agree!!

I'm waiting to read Logiques which i'm sure can clarify some of these 'abstract concepts'. But provisionally I have a question:

1) Why say that the affirmation made indifferently to the laws of objectivity is a part of negation? Is he using 'part' in the formal sense distinguished from 'elements', i.e it is included in the situation but it doesn't belong? This would perhaps coincide with the notion of the event qua excrescence, once it is forced into the situation as a generic subset/part.

Brilliant. I have very many EGS videos to watch-how intimidating!

[egsvideo]

thank you for the comment. there are more in the pipeline. as for "intimitating" please allow me to state that i prefer "impressive" :)

Left Heideggerians or Left Lacanians?

[moclark]

Left-Heideggerians, Left-Hegelians, same difference?

[robpoe]

There is a drastically radical difference between beginning with Heidegger and beginning with Hegel: Hegel already (as one should know through Marx) made possible a very explicit left-wing interpretation of his text; Heidegger follows from a Kantian framework, which is much different.

yes i realized that mere moments after posting my facetious comment. alain badiou's windpipe is incalculably preferable! I wouldn't say, after re-watching the video, that this has created a more rewarding experience though. The disembodied grunting was quite entertaining in fact. Thanks for the correction though.

[sludgehaichoi]

i think this video would be infinitely more instructive had the camera/microphone not been places inside the windpipe of the camera-man.

[egsvideo]

Thank you for your comment. I hope you realize though, that the "windpipe" belongs to Alain Badiou himself. Does knowing that change your experience?
