Deleuze and the Contemporary World
by Ian Buchanan, Adrian Parr (Edinburgh University Press)
This volume joins the pragmatic philosophy of Deleuze to current affairs. The twelve new essays in this volume use a contemporary context to think through and with Deleuze. Engaging the here and now, the contributors use the Deleuzian theoretical apparatus to think about issues such as military activity in the Middle East, refugees, terrorism, information and communication, and the State. The book is aimed both at specialists of Deleuze and those who are unfamiliar with his work but who are interested in current affairs. Incorporating political theory and philosophy, culture studies, sociology, international studies, and Middle Eastern studies, the book is designed to appeal to a wide audience.from various contributors.
Deleuze?s engagement with everyone from Bronte to Schreber is invigorating, and in doing so, he turns his philosophy into a means of navigating culture with his postmodern deconstruction of the text. The infinite bifurcations within which readers of Deleuze so often fall prey are here exposed to the worldly philosophy's of Hegel and Marx, Adorno and Jameson. In the process, Deleuze is revealed as multifarious, even joyous, in an immersion in a much wider world of critical ideas.
This book represents a fresh perspective on current affairs, and a interdisciplinary response to the contemporary world, which puts the concepts of Deleuze to work.
