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.
Henri Bergson is frequently cited amongst the holy trinity of major
influences on Modernism-literary and otherwise-alongside Sigmund
Freud and William James. Gilles Deleuze's Bergsonism has
re-popularized Bergson for the 21st century, so much so that,
perhaps, our Bergson is Deleuze's Bergson. Despite renewed interest
in Bergson, his influence remains understudied and consequently
undervalued. While books examining the impact of Freud and James on
Modernism abound, Bergson's impact, though widely acknowledged, has
been closely examined much more rarely. Understanding Bergson,
Understanding Modernism remedies this deficiency in three ways.
First, it offers close readings and critiques of six pivotal texts.
Second, it reassesses Bergson's impact on Modernism while also
tracing his continuing importance to literature, media, and
philosophy throughout the twentieth and into the 21st century. In
its final section it provides an extended glossary of Bergsonian
terms, complete with extensive examples and citations of their use
across his texts. The glossary also maps the influence of Bergson's
work by including entries on related writers, all of whom Bergson
either corresponded with or critiqued.
