Gilles Deleuze: Key Concepts

Deleuze's concepts - such as assemblage, the fold, difference and repetition, cinema and desire - are key to understanding his philosophical approach: they work to unsettle particular bodies of knowledge, to open them up and link them to other concepts within and outside that body of knowledge. The short and accessible chapters in this book each focus on a single concept, offering a definition and showing what the concept does. The contributors also consider how the concepts are engaged, intersect, link, and how they may deviate from other areas of postmodern thought. Gilles Deleuze: Key Concepts is aimed at a readership new to Deleuze both from within philosphy and outside the discipline. Contributors include Christa Albrecht-Crane, Ronald Bogue, Felicity Colman, Tom Conley, Eugene Holland, Karen Houle, Gregg Lambert, Melissa McMahon, Judith Poxon, Gregory Seigworth, Jennifer Daryl Slack, Daniel W. Smith, Patty Sotirin, Kenneth Surin, and J. MacGregor Wise.
