This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher and critic, Giles Deleuze's essay,"Bartleby, Or The Formula", found in his Essays Critical and Clinical. Deleuze's essay examines Herman Melville's short story "Bartleby The Scrivner". This lecture focuses specifically on what Deleuze calls "Melvillian psychiatry" in the essay, distinguishing three main types of characters Melville's works center upon - demoniacal monomaniacs, angelic hypochondriacs, and "prophets" who witness to them as they try to enforce the law. Deleuze also discusses two different dynamics of identification, one which he associates with neuroses and narcissism, the other of which he associates with psychosis and schizophrenia.

On The Gist, Necco Wafers are out this Valentine’s Day, but don’t shed a tear. In the interview, some movies live for the twist. Steven Knight’s latest film, Serenity, is ostensibly about a sea captain’s Melvillian obsessions. Knight joins us to talk about how Matthew McConaughey gets it right, Saint Lucia, and writing screenplays in a detached state of mind (“It’s almost like accessing whatever the hell it is that creates dreams”).  In the Spiel, journalists are losing their jobs. And there’s some BS out there about why that is. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“Leni Zumas here proves she can do almost anything. Her tale feels part Melvillian, part Lydia Davis, part Octavia Butler—but really Zumas’s vision is entirely her own. Red Clocks is funny, mordant, political, poetic, alarming, and inspiring—not to mention a way forward for fiction now.”—Maggie Nelson “Move over Atwood, Leni Zumas’s Red Clocks is a […] The post Leni Zumas : Red Clocks appeared first on Tin House.
