Deleuze and Environmental Damage - Violence of the Text (Hardcover, New Ed)

Damage to the environment is now one of the most serious threats to quality of life. In recent years, criminologists have shown an increased interest in theorizing environmental problems. But despite its recent 'green revolution', criminology has arguably yet to grasp the limits of its commentaries on environmental damage. In this book, the author surveys the problems associated with modernist accounts of environmental harm and offers in their place an explication of the main insights associated with post-structuralist thought. Centred predominantly around the work of Gilles Deleuze (and Felix Guattari), the book applies key post-structuralist concepts to an ongoing site of environmental harm, contestation and legal in(ter)ventions. Focusing on vision, speed, lexicon and affect, the book engages a new ethics for categorizing and regulating 'Nature' and challenges criminologists and others to reconsider what it is possible to say and do about environmental problems.
