Deleuze's thought on the nature of temporality developed throughout
his career in reference to a complex array of concepts, thinkers
and artistic works as well as natural and social phenomena. In this
collection, leading international scholars elaborate on Deleuze's
modification of the thought of historical figures, from the
ancients - Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Lucretius - through to the
moderns - Spinoza Kant, Husserl, Nietzsche, Bergson, Simondon,
Negri - as well as his use of scientific fields such as complexity
theory and thermodynamics. The book shows that the philosophy of
time was central to the development of Deleuze's work. In addition
to discussing how time is conceptualized in Difference and
Repetition and The Logic of Sense, this collection stands out for
its elucidation of Deleuze's modification of the concept in his two
books on cinema.
Deleuze and Foucault had a long, complicated and productive
relationship, in which each was at various times a significant
influence on the other. This collection combines 3 original essays
by Deleuze and Foucault, in which they respond to each other's
work, with 16 critical essays by key contemporary scholars working
in the field. The result is a sustained discussion and analysis of
the various dimensions of this fascinating relationship, which
clarifies the implications of their philosophical encounter.
This is a new translation of two essential works on Deleuze,
written by one of his contemporaries. From the publication of
"Deleuze: A Philosophy of the Event" to his untimely death in 2006,
Francois Zourabichvili was regarded as one of the most important
new voices of contemporary philosophy in France. His work continues
to make an essential contribution to Deleuze scholarship today.
This edition makes two of Zourabichvili's most important writings
on the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze available in a single volume.
"A Philosophy of the Event" (1994) is an exposition of Deleuze's
philosophy as a whole, while the complementary "The Vocabulary of
Deleuze" (2003) approaches Deleuze's work through an analysis of
key concepts in a dictionary form. Key features: singles out the
three most controversial questions in debates surrounding Deleuze's
philosophy today: univocity, creative vitalism and the event and
with an introduction by Gregg Lambert and Daniel W. Smith, two of
the world's leading commentators on Deleuze.
Gilles Deleuze is perhaps best known for his influential works in
philosophical interpretation, (Nietzsche and Philosophy, Expression
in Philosophy: Spinoza); epistemology (The Logic of Sense);
metaphysics (Difference and Repetition); and political economy
(Capitalism and Schizophrenia). Because he never devoted an
individual work to the subject of ethics, some scholars have
assumed that Deleuze did not write about it, which explains in part
why so few have directly addressed the ethical dimension of
Deleuze's philosophy. Concepts such as ethics, values, and
normativity however play a crucial - if subtle and easily
overlooked - role in Deleuze's overall philosophical project. The
essays in this collection explore, uncover, and trace the ethical
dimension of Deleuzian philosophy along diverse trajectories and,
in so doing, endeavour to reclaim that philosophy as moral
philosophy.
Gilles Deleuze (1925-95) was an influential and provocative
twentieth-century thinker who developed and presented an
alternative to the image of thought found in traditional
philosophy. This volume offers an extensive survey of Deleuze's
philosophy by some of his most influential interpreters. The essays
give lucid accounts of the fundamental themes of his metaphysical
work and its ethical and political implications. They clearly
situate his thinking within the philosophical tradition, with
detailed studies of his engagements with phenomenology,
post-Kantianism and the sciences, and also his interventions in the
arts. As well as offering new research on established areas of
Deleuze scholarship, several essays address key themes that have
not previously been given the attention they deserve in the
English-speaking world.

'I should have written you after my first reading of The Living
Currency; it was already breath-taking and I should have responded.
After reading it a few more times, I know it is the best book of
our times.' Letter to Pierre Klossowski from Michel Foucault,
winter 1970. Living Currency is the first English translation of
Klossowski's La monnaie vivante. It offers an analysis of economic
production as a mechanism of psychic production of desires and is a
key work from this often overlooked but wonderfully creative French
thinker.

This is an important collection of essays examining the
intersections between Deleuzian philosophy and the arts. "Gilles
Deleuze: Image and Text" focuses on the intersection between
Deleuzian philosophy and the arts. Deleuze combined exceptionally
rigorous insight into important Western philosophers with an
extraordinary sensitivity to literature, music, painting and film.
He was intensely interested in the medium of thought, which is by
no means limited to philosophy alone: it also takes place in
science, mathematics, literature, painting and cinema, to name just
some of the genres of thought to which Deleuze most often refers.
His own thinking emerged almost as often in conversation with
artists and literary writers as in engagement with other
philosophers, and his philosophy cannot be fully grasped without an
understanding of his engagement with the arts. This significant and
timely collection of essays from an international team of leading
Deleuze scholars brings together interpretations and commentaries
from Deleuzian perspectives on subjects such as literature,
painting, music and film. The book represents diverse modes of
engagement with Deleuze's philosophical concepts and problems and
demonstrates the central role the arts play in any understanding of
his philosophical ideas.
Now published in English, this work takes a structuralist approach
to the relation between Nietzsche's thought and his life. The
author emphasizes the centrality of the notion of "eternal return"
for understanding Nietzsche's propensities for self-denial,
self-reputation and self-consumption. Nietzsche's ideas did not
stem from personal pathology, according to Klossowski. Rather, he
made a pathological use of his best ideas, anchoring them in his
own fluctuating bodily and mental conditions. Thus Nietzsche's
belief that questions of truth and morality are basically questions
of power and fitness, resonates dynamically and intellectually with
his alternating lucidity and delirium.

The title of this timely and thought-provoking book, a French
bestseller, refers to schoolgirls sending text messages to their
friends on their smart phones. Michel Serres, one of France's most
important living intellectuals, uses this image to get at something
far broader: that humans are formed and shaped by technologies, and
that with the advent of computers, smart phones, and the Internet,
a new human is being born. These new humans beings are our
children-thumbelina (petite poucette) and tom thumb (petit
poucet)-but technologies have been changing so fast that parents
scarcely know their children. Serres documents this cultural
revolution, arguing that there have been several similar
revolutions in the past: from oral cultures to cultures focused on
reading and writing; the advent of the printing press; and now the
complex changes brought about by the new information
technologies-changes that are taking place at an accelerated pace
and that affect us all.

Research has suggested that childhood experiences confer
risk/resilience for reactions to trauma in adulthood, and
predictors and correlates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
appear to differ developmentally. Research in PTSD has typically
been conducted by either child or adult researchers with relatively
little overlap or communication between the two camps.
Developmental models of PTSD are necessary to fully understand the
complex constellation of responses to trauma across the lifespan.
Such models can inform study designs and lead to novel,
developmentally-appropriate interventions. To this end, this book
is organized in such a way as to present and integrate research
into child, adult, and older adult trauma samples in an attempt to
culminate in a testable model of PTSD risk and resilience across
the lifespan. Each author incorporates a developmental slant to
their individual chapter, and the chapters are organized to
highlight potential differences in our understanding of risk and
resiliency between children and adults. Initial chapters concerning
pre- and peri-traumatic risk factors for PTSD lead into chapters
reviewing specific risk and resilience factors in adults and
children. Additional chapters focus on the impact of childhood
trauma on adult functioning and the biology of PTSD in children,
adults, and older adults. As PTSD rarely occurs in a 'pure' form,
specific chapters focus on the impact of comorbid disorders in our
understanding of PTSD, and the final chapters consider both
psychosocial and pharmacological treatments for PTSD in children
and adults.

?This recent volume is an important resource for instructors, researchers, and clinicians interested in the development of children who have been adopted. Brodzinsky, Smith, and Brodzinsky offer an up-to-date and accessible review of the history of adoption, theoretical perspectives that are used to organize thinking about adoption, and research that has evaluated the adjustment of children who have been adopted.? ?Journal of Marriage and the Family ?The style is confident and authoritative . . . . this is a useful digest which, . . . . provides academics and practitioners with a neat, solid guide to key research in the field.? ?David Howe, in Child and Family Social Work A significant contribution to understanding the effects of adoption, ChildrenÆs Adjustment to Adoption presents major issues that affect both the process and outcome of adoption for children and their parents. It begins with a historical and contemporary perspective on adoption and then focuses on the various theories that have addressed the issue of psychological risk associated with adoption. Extensive coverage is provided on the adjustment of children and parents to adoption itself and on the psychological development including adjustment and maladjustment over the course of childhood and adolescence. Children whose adoptions emerge from such circumstances as child abuse, parental drug use, and parental HIV are closely examined as are adoptions across racial and cultural lines. This volume offers extensive coverage of theory and research on children and families and the contextual issues pertinent to the adoption process, with clinical vignettes punctuating key points. The authors close with a discussion of intervention and assessment issues that commonly arise when working with adoptees and their families. ChildrenÆs Adjustment to Adoption is a welcome addition to the current literature on the psychological issues associated with adoption. It will be valuable for professionals in the fields of clinical and counseling psychology, developmental psychology, nursing, social work, health services, and family studies.
