Deleuze Modeste.

Dario Eryu

Here's a brief introduction for your podcast: --- Welcome to Deleuze Modeste, a podcast dedicated to rediscovering the true genius of Gilles Deleuze. Since his passing in 1995, Deleuze’s philosophy has been subject to misinterpretation, oversimplification, and even commercial exploitation. His radical ideas—once so original and profound—are too often reduced to buzzwords, drained of their true power. This podcast seeks to cut through the noise. Deleuze Modeste is an instrument for learning, an invitation to approach his work with humility and curiosity. Rather than adding to the marketing machine that distorts his legacy, we aim to engage with his ideas simply, directly, and thoughtfully. Let’s return to Deleuze as he was—challenging, brilliant, and deeply transformative.

    Podcast 08.25. Introduction: Smooth Walls & Dark Matter. Capture in the age of ultra-liberalism.

    In any case, let's return to our main objective: how to capture, dissect, remove, and add intensive components in order to create new areas of discernment and becoming. Revitalize a concept, give it new life. In a way, the concept of “Black Hole - White Wall” is relative to the era of Milles Plateau's publication, perhaps to a time when the factory, let alone the corporation, represented a primary means of control over the socius, extracting the desire for profit while maintaining sufficient rigidity to guarantee a high level of control. Once a subject identifies and assumes a binary identity, it sinks into the black hole of subjectivity, ensuring that its uncoded flows will always have a limit and that the machinery of capitalism can thus continue to turn safely. This concept was our fish, which we attempted to open up, understand its living components, analyze them, see what is still vital and which components could be refreshed, what new futures this refreshed concept could have. Only a Sicilian fisherman could perhaps understand the perverse joy of attempting such an operation. It is certain that Deleuze often operated in the same way, but, as he mentioned, the philosophy of his time was saturated with the history of philosophy, so that, from a certain point of view, the bastardization of past philosophers constituted a “line of flight” toward something new.
