Opis

Each of the three volumes collected here has a dominant focus. The first, on Gilles Deleuze, the second on Felix Guattari and the third on Deleuze and Guattari. Volume one provides an overview of Deleuze's importance for cultural theory and practice across the arts, including essays on theatre, cinema, video, painting, literature, music and dance. This volume also includes assessments of Deleuze's original engagements with the philosophies of Hume, Spinoza, Leibniz, Kant and Nietzsche and his effort to loosen them from the grip of the canon of the history of philosophy. The critical essays in Volume two constitute the first published collection devoted exclusively to Guattari's life and work. His writing is placed in the context of the anti-psychiatry movement, and his critique of capitalism, and participation in and reflections on new social movements are brought into focus. A major section is devoted to his contributions to the theory and practice of schizoanalysis and to radical therapeutic interventions in general, but with special attention to the implications of his seminal concept of transversality.
