Description
In these 20 essays written over a 20-year period, Buchanan shines a light on the experimental nature of the work of Deleuze and Guattari. He shows it to be constitutively incomplete as their project was an attempt to understand our contemporary situation which is constantly changing and can therefore never be understood in a complete way. Clustered around five main themes - Method, Film, Space, Analysis and Assemblages - Buchanan's book will appeal to experts as well as those new to Deleuze and Guattari working across literary criticism, film studies, cultural studies, political theory and philosophy.
Reviews / Votes
Ian Buchanan has long been a leading figure in Deleuze and Guattari studies whose clear, original voice has been an inspiration to many. This collection of essays now makes the diversity of Buchanan's work available in a single place in what will no doubt become an essential secondary source. * Jeffrey Bell, Southeastern Louisiana University * In this engaging study, Buchanan combines clear exegesis, pithy summary, humorous asides and provocative examples to promote schizoanalysis as a new, open-ended mode of engaging issues across a wide range of disciplines. Bracing and insightful, this is an essential contribution to Deleuze and Guattari studies. * Ronald Lynn Bogue, University of Georgia *More details
