Review
“Here’s a remedy for resisting the anti-philosophy brigade. . . . [The contributors] energetically claim Deleuze’s importance for issues that have pressed us both politically and philosophically.”—Nina Zimnik, "Film-Philosophy"
Book Description
Michel Foucault's suggestion that this century would become known as 'Deleuzian' was considered by Gilles Deleuze himself to be a joke 'meant to make people who like us laugh, and make everyone else livid'. Whether serious or not, Foucault's prediction has had enough of an impact to raise concern about the potential 'deification' of this enormously influential French philosopher. Seeking to counter such tendencies toward hagiography - not unknown, particularly since Deleuze's death - Ian Buchanan has assembled a collection of essays that constitute a critical and focused engagement with Deleuze and his work.Originally published as a special issue of "South Atlantic Quarterly" (Summer 1997), this volume includes essays from some of the most prominent American, Australian, British, and French scholars and translators of Deleuze's writing. These essays, ranging from film, television, art, and literature to philosophy, psychoanalysis, geology, and cultural studies, reflect the broad interests of Deleuze himself. Providing both an introduction and critique of Deleuze, this volume will engage those readers interested in literary and cultural theory, philosophy, and the future of those areas of study in which Deleuze worked. The contributors include: Ronald Bogue, Ian Buchanan, Andre Pierre Colombat, Tom Conley, Manuel DeLanda, Tessa Dwyer, Jerry Aline Flieger, Eugene Holland, Fredric Jameson, Jean-Clet Martin, John Mullarkey, D. N. Rodowick, Horst Ruthrof, and, Charles J. Stivale.

We begin, as one so often does, without necessarily wanting to, with Hegel (heaven only knows if we will also end up in the same place). Read the first page

A fine range of essays on the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Deleuzian Century? (Paperback)
This collection of essays on Deleuze is noteworthy for its scope and readability, as well as its range of perspectives. The Marxian take by John Mullarkey, the send-up of Deleuze's Anti-Oedipus by Jerry Aline Flieger, and Fredrik Jameson's keystone piece are highlights. Essential for students of poststructuralist and cultural theory.
