Deleuze track[edit source]
- Heraclitus

(See Adorno Track)
- Kant
Critique of Judgment (3rd and last of his major critiques, focused somewhat on art/aesthetics) Deleuze‘s book on Kant (short, but dense, of course)
- Marx
The German Ideology
Grundrisse
- Nietzsche
Deleuze‘s Nietzsche and Philosophy
- Freud

Deleuze‘s Bergsonism
I like both the Adorno and the Deleuze tracks. Off the top of my head, I have some lighter, or shorter work that could be paired with Deleuze's major works.

Material to pair with Deleuze[edit source]
(most of these are short or do not need to be read in full. But there are a few novels here that I would like to read for the first time.)
Antonin Artaud[edit source]
- Have Done With the Judgment of God, A radio play referenced in A-Œ, source of DG term "body w/o organs."
- Van Gogh the Suicide Provoked by Madness, also referenced in A-Œ.
- Theatre of Cruelty (Manifestos)
- Here Lies, poem, source of 'got no papamummy'
Samuel Becket[edit source]
- Molloy
- The Unnamable
Franz Kafka[edit source]
- The Great Wall of China
- Cares of a Family Man
- Consider Deleuze's Kafka, a minor literature.
Leopold von Sacher Masoch[edit source]
Venus and Furs, to pair with Deleuze's Coldness and Cruelty
Henry Miller[edit source]
Sexus, banned in Paris, influenced A-Œ
Daniel Paul Schreber[edit source]
Memoir of My Nervous Illness (very fun)
Secondary reading on Schreber,
- Freud's The Case of Schreber
- Lacan
- Selections from Book III of Lacan's seminar, The Joyce Seminar, and perhaps elsewhere in the seminar.
- On a Question Prior to Any Possible Treatment of Psychosis or other selections from Ecrits
- Secondary sources (Jacques Alain Miller, Bruce Fink, Joan Copjec, Zizek, other Lacanian Ink pdfs.)
Proust[edit source]
I've promised myself I would read In Search of Lost Time within the decade. Delueze's book on Proust is supposed to be one of his most accessible. Also pairs well with Bergson.
Sophocles[edit source]
Oedipus Rex
I would also be in interested in reading Deleuze's Film and media theory.
Adorno and Benjamin's literary criticism would be a good angle for me re Adorno epistemology. Add Helene Cisoux to that too. There is a lot of crossover between the three.
