Immanence Curricular: NVC, BYOT, SL, etc.

For our April event, we will begin exploring ideas for presenting a philosophy of Immanence to a broader audience. To aid in this effort, we shall discuss what we've learned in our examination of Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life and Richard Gilbert's Building Your Own Theology, with an eye towards adapting these curricula to introduce others to Immanence.

In addition, we will revisit Manuel DeLanda's 2006 lecture at the European Graduate School, in which he discussed singularity, multiplicity, the virtual, and the actual, and his 2007 lecture at the same venue, in which he explores the concepts of expressivity, territoriality, signature, style, and morphogenesis. Manuel DeLanda, author of A Thousand Years of Nonlinear History, is an adjunct associate professor of architecture of Columbia University, and a leading interpreter of the work of Gilles Deleuze.

Additionally, we will spend some time getting caught up on the latest developments in the Whooshup community of aficionados of the lectures of UC Berkeley professor of philosophy Hubert Dreyfus, and also Berkeley instructor Daniel Coffee's Spring 2007 course on rhetoric, with particular attention to the role contemporary rhetoric can play, together with E-Prime and NVC, as a model for a language of Immanence.

All this and more, at our March Immanence meeting!
