It is the contention of the editors and contributors of this volume
that the work carried out by Gilles Deleuze, where rigorously
applied, has the potential to cut through much of the intellectual
sedimentation that has settled in the fields of music studies.
Deleuze is a vigorous critic of the Western intellectual tradition,
calling for a 'philosophy of difference', and, despite its
ambitions, he is convinced that Western philosophy fails to truly
grasp (or think) difference as such. It is argued that longstanding
methods of conceptualizing music are vulnerable to Deleuze's
critique. But, as Deleuze himself stresses, more important than
merely critiquing established paradigms is developing ways to
overcome them, and by using Deleuze's own concepts this collection
aims to explore that possibility.
