Deleuze's concept of 'becoming' provides the key to his notoriously
complex metaphysics, yet it has not been systematized until now.
Bankston tracks the concept of becoming and its underlying temporal
processes across Deleuze's writings, arguing that expressions of
becoming(s) appear in two modes of temporality: an appropriation of
Nietzsche's eternal return (the becoming of the event), and
Bergsonian duration (the becoming of sensation). Overturning the
criticisms launched by Zizek and Badiou, with conceptual encounters
between Bergson, Nietzsche, Leibniz, Borges, Klossowski, and
Proust, the newly charted concept of double becoming provides a
roadmap to the totality of Deleuze's philosophy. Bankston
systematizes Deleuze's multi-mirrored universe where form and
content infinitely refract in a vital kaleidoscope of becoming.

The Romance of Regionalism in the Work of F. Scott and Zelda
Fitzgerald: The South Side of Paradise explores resonances of
"Southernness" in works by American culture's leading literary
couple. At the height of their fame, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald
dramatized their relationship as a romance of regionalism, as the
charming tale of a Northern man wooing a Southern belle. Their
writing exposes deeper sectional conflicts, however: from the
seemingly unexorcisable fixation with the Civil War and the
historical revisionism of the Lost Cause to popular culture's
depiction of the South as an artistically deprived, economically
broken backwater, the couple challenged early twentieth-century
stereotypes of life below the Mason-Dixon line. From their most
famous efforts (The Great Gatsby and Save Me the Waltz) to their
more overlooked and obscure (Scott's 1932 story "Family in the
Wind," Zelda's "The Iceberg," published in 1918 before she even met
her husband), Scott and Zelda returned obsessively to the
challenges of defining Southern identity in a country in which
"going south" meant decay and dissolution. Contributors to this
volume tackle a range of Southern topics, including belle culture,
the picturesque and the Gothic, Confederate commemoration and race
relations, and regional reconciliation. As the collection
demonstrates, the Fitzgeralds' fortuitous meeting in Montgomery,
Alabama, in 1918 sparked a Southern renascence in miniature.

In Deleuze and Art Anne Sauvagnargues, one of the world's most
renowned Deleuze scholars, offers a unique insight into the
constitutive role played by art in the formation of Deleuze's
thought. By reproducing Deleuze's social and intellectual
references, Sauvagnargues is able to construct a precise map of the
totality of Deleuze's work, pinpointing where key Deleuzian
concepts first emerge and eventually disappear. This innovative
methodology, which Sauvagnargues calls "periodization", provides a
systematic historiography of Deleuze's philosophy that remains
faithful to his affirmation of the principle of exteriority. By
analyzing the external relations between Deleuze's self-proclaimed
three philosophical periods, Sauvagnargues gives the reader an
inside look into the conceptual and artistic landscape that
surrounded Deleuze and the creation of his philosophy. With extreme
clarity and precision, Sauvagnargues provides an important glimpse
into Deleuze's philosophy by reconstructing the social and
intellectual contexts that contributed to the trajectory of his
thought. This book is the product of insightful and careful
research, which has not been made available to English readers of
Deleuze before now.
