This is a clear and concise overview of and introduction to Deleuze
in the field of politics. "Political Theory After Deleuze" provides
an accessible introduction to Deleuze in the field of politics by
putting his thought directly into dialogue with contemporary
debates in political theory. The book focuses particularly on
Deleuze's contribution to emerging debates in political theory. As
these developments are a response to the inadequacies many
theorists find with traditional dominant approaches, the book
speaks to those traditional approaches as well. The book is not an
exegesis of Deleuze's ideas on politics or political theory, but
rather a re-reading of the field from a Deleuzian perspective.
Nathan Widder shows how Deleuze offers a distinctive contribution
to debates in political theory that are trying to rethink the
nature of pluralism, individual and collective subjectivity, power
relations and the state, the emergence of political events, and the
role of desire in politics. Deleuze already figures in many of
these debates and this book makes his contribution more accessible
to a student audience and facilitates communication between the
emerging field of Deleuze Studies and political theory as it is
currently taught. "The Deleuze Encounters" series provides students
in philosophy and related subjects with concise and accessible
introductions to the application of Deleuze's work in key areas of
study. Each book demonstrates how Deleuze's ideas and concepts can
enhance present work in a particular field.
