Understanding Deleuze, Understanding Modernism explores the
multi-faceted and formative impact of Gilles Deleuze on the
development and our understanding of modernist thought in its
philosophical, literary, and more broadly cultural manifestations.
Gilles Deleuze himself rethought philosophical history with a
series of books and essays on individual philosophers such as Kant,
Spinoza, Leibniz, Nietzsche, and Bergson and authors such as
Proust, Kafka, Beckett and Woolf, on the one hand, and Bacon,
Messiaen, and Pollock, among others, in other arts. This volume
acknowledges Deleuze's profound impact on a century of art and
thought and the origin of that impact in his own understanding of
modernism. Understanding Deleuze, Understanding Modernism begins by
"conceptualizing" Deleuze by offering close readings of some of his
most important works. The contributors offer new readings that
illuminate the context of Deleuze's work, either by reading one of
Deleuze's texts against or in the context of his entire body of
work or by challenging Deleuze's readings of other philosophers. A
central section on Deleuze and his aesthetics maps the
relationships between Deleuze's thought and modernist literature.
The volume's final section features an extended glossary of
Deleuze's key terms, with each definition having its own expert
contributor.
