A Philosophy of Practising - With Deleuze's Difference and Repetition (Hardcover)

Antonia Pont shows us how to identify when practising is happening and explains, using the early philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, how it fosters transformation, and gives us access to deep memory and rest, while also cultivating stability and responsiveness in the present. Practising, in other words, gives us three kinds of time instead of one. Practising involves an interweaving of differences expressing themselves among intentional repetitions. By engaging in practising, we open times other than our habitual presents, we slip the binds of identity and we thin out our relation with behaviours that shut out the future.Whether you practise already, are curious about embarking, or are a reader of Deleuze, this book for makers, thinkers, lovers and activists is a rigorous account of why practising is hard to say, why it works and why it matters.
