Flore Garcin-Marrou holds a PhD in French Literature from the Sorbonne, with degrees in Philosophy of Religion (Paris Sorbonne) and Theater Studies (Paris Sorbonne nouvelle). Her PhD dissertation, entitled Gilles Deleuze, Flix Guattari, between theater and philosophy, supervised by Prof. Denis Gunoun, attempts to restore to theater its place among the other arts and to study unpublished plays that Guattari himself wrote between 1980 and 1990. Many Deleuzian studies are formulated around the idea of the intersection between Deleuzes work and particular disciplines such as music, literature and cinema, but from which theatre is often absent. Her current research focuses on the relation between contemporary philosophy and contemporary theater, as well as on questions regarding theater history. Director of the acting company La Spirale ascensionnelle , she has vocally staged Ritournelles by Flix Guattari with the voice of poet Damien Schultz (2011 Mains d oeuvre, Saint-Ouen). She is now Lecturer in Theater and Visual Studies in the University of Toulouse Jean Jaurs.

Jean-Sebastien Laberge is a PhD student in the Ecole dtudes politiques of the University of Ottawa. With an initial focus, inside the EuroPhilosophie programme, on the Deleuzian appropriation of Spinozas metaphysics andinterpretation of Gods genesis in the first propositions of his Ethics, Laberges current research bears on the relationship between Spinozas practical philosophy and the work of Deleuze and Guattari. More specifically, he is interested in the connections that may be established between a Spinozist political ecology and the Guattarian ecosophy, and in the significance these connections may carry for biodiversity and cultural diversity.
