[Melissa Gregg]

> Virtual Mathematics mini-conference @ UQ
>
> The Centre for the History of European Discourses and the European 
> Philosophy Research Group (HPRC) will hold a mini-conference to launch 
> the collection Virtual Mathematics: the logic of difference (Clinamen, 
> 2005). The Virtual Mathematics mini-conference will be a one day 
> conference held in Brisbane at the University of Queensland on Monday, 
> 20 June 2005.
>
>  The collection Virtual Mathematics: the logic of difference brings 
> together a range of new philosophical encounters with mathematics 
> using the work of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze as a focus. This 
> component of Deleuze's work has, to date, been rather neglected by 
> commentators working in the field of Deleuze studies. One of the aims 
> of this collection is to address this critical deficit by providing a 
> philosophical presentation of Deleuze's relation to mathematics, one 
> that is adequate to his project of constructing a philosophy of 
> difference and to the exploration of some of its applications. The 
> mini-conference will provide the opportunity for a range of papers 
> from the collection to be presented for discussion.
>
>  The mini-conference is being held in conjunction with the 
> Australasian Society for Continental Philosophy conference which will 
> be on in Sydney at the University of NSW from Wednesday to Friday, 
> 15-17 June 2005.
