Michel Foucault's suggestion that this century would become known
as "Deleuzian" was considered by Gilles Deleuze himself to be a
joke "meant to make people who like us laugh, and make everyone
else livid." Whether serious or not, Foucault's prediction has had
enough of an impact to raise concern about the potential
"deification" of this enormously influential French philosopher.
Seeking to counter such tendencies toward hagiography--not unknown,
particularly since Deleuze's death--Ian Buchanan has assembled a
collection of essays that constitute a critical and focused
engagement with Deleuze and his work.
Originally published as a special issue of "South Atlantic
Quarterly" (Summer 1997), this volume includes essays from some of
the most prominent American, Australian, British, and French
scholars and translators of Deleuze's writing. These essays,
ranging from film, television, art, and literature to philosophy,
psychoanalysis, geology, and cultural studies, reflect the broad
interests of Deleuze himself. Providing both an introduction and
critique of Deleuze, this volume will engage those readers
interested in literary and cultural theory, philosophy, and the
future of those areas of study in which Deleuze worked.
