Editorial Review Product Description A major paradigm shift in debates on sexuality,Deleuze and Queer Theory marks a shift away from discourse on identity and signification and a move toward a radical new conception of bodily materialism. For too long queer theory has been dominated by the work of Judith Butler and a focus on performativity. In these essays, a critical engagement with the work of Deleuze and Guattari shape a new queer theory, one that revisits the very term of "queer," rethinks the sex-gender distinction as implied in queer theory, explores queer temporalities, and considers the non/rereading of the homosexual body/desire and the becoming-queer of the Deleuze Guattari philosophy. |

Editorial Review Product Description By revisiting nineteenth century Darwinism and the origins of germ science, Keith Ansell Pearson develops a stunning reading of Deleuze's key texts. He also introduces highly original interpretations of classic modern literature, including Thomas Hardy's Tess and D.H.Lawrence's Kangaroo before connecting these themes with cyborgism and the work of the performance artist Stelarc. As a companion to Ansell Pearson's Viroid Life, which explored Nietzsche's philosophy of the human, Germinal Life provides a highly original study of the biophilosophical aspectsof Deleuze's thought. Customer Reviews (4)
Toward a new biophilosophy As itself a heterogenous "assemblage" of the type it investigates, Germinal Life sparkles with new connections and fresh insights. Few have read as widely and as well as KAP, and it shows. The author demonstrates, in addition to an easy familiarity with Deleuze and Deleuze/Guattari, a firm grasp ofthe classic work of Darwin and Bergson, as well as wide reading in the voluminous recent University Press literature documenting the contemporary life sciences and so-called complexity theory. For a reader with some familiarity with the basic themes ofits components, plugging into the machine of Germinal Life will be a productive experience indeed.
A Renewed Philosophy of Nature The thread that guides Ansell-Pearson throughout his research is the idea of a contemporary "bio-philosophy" or philosophy of life.This idea has far-reaching relevance.Kant is often said to have inaugurated modern philosophy with his "Copernican revolution": the conditions of the objects of knowledge must be the _same_ as the subjective conditions of knowledge itself.Against the ancient conception of wisdom, which defined the wise man by his submission to and accord with Nature, Kant set up an entirely new image of thought: humans are now the legislators of Nature.The subject, in other words, became constitutive.Ansell-Pearson's work is situated within a broader contemporary reaction against this Kantian heritage.His aim, he states, is to examine the possibility and implications of "thinking _beyond_ the human condition" (p. 2)."Germinal Life" thus continues the project of Ansell-Pearson's earlier book, "Viroid life."The latter analyzed Nietzsche's attempt to think the "transhuman" condition; the former pursues the same theme in the context of the "life sciences" (the subhuman and the superhuman).Both books, however, are framed by a fundamental ethical question:Does a biophilosophy entail a simple "disavowal" of the finitude and historicity of the human condition (p. 214)?Or on the contrary, as Ansell-Pearson argues, is it possible that a radically _ethical_ philosophy "must necessarily think trans- or overhumanly" (p. 3)?This question is all the more urgent given current developments in of informational and genetic technologies, which have already transformed our concept of the "human." In this sense, Ansell-Pearson's has opened a line of philosophical inquiry that will no doubt be of increasing importance in the future. It points to the possibility, and indeed the need, for something that largely disappeared from philosophy after Schelling, namely, a renewed philosophy of Nature. Highly recommended.
An Excellent book on Deleuze, Bergson and Biophilosophy
A compelling reason for setting the Academy alight. Of course, spoofs needn't be witting, which brings me to `GerminalLife'. The prodigious awfulness of Ansell Pearson's writing can't beunderestimated, such as those times when its mode of presentation becomesinsanely imperious, every other word is forced into scare-quotes, andparagraphs (even sentences!) follow one another without apparentconnection. I would urge you to buy it; passages such as Deleuzehimself incisively notes that as a new thinking of the living body ethologyoffers "a new conception of the embodied individual, of species, and ofgenera" (1968: 236; 1992: 257). He argues that we should not neglect the"biological significance" of this new conception. Its chief importance,however, is said to be "juridical and ethical". He suggests that once wepose the problem of rights at the level of heterogeneous bodies then wenecessarily transform the whole philosophy of right(s). (p.199) would beworth anyone's $75. The same could be said for the book's finalparagraph: We must perform our critical engagement with Deleuze not interms of a simple condemnation or a mere repudiation, but in terms of theon-going battle we have with the problems, predicaments and pretensions ofphilosophy. It cannot simply be, however, a question of being for oragainst Deleuze; rather, the task should be one of implicating him in thecritical and clinical questions that constitute the very fold of our beingand our becoming those who we are. (p.224) That Spinozan ethology is ofconsequence to rights and jurisprudence only to the extent that it servesto abolish them should be obvious to anyone, and if there's a programmebeneath these truisms, tautologies, non sequiturs and patentmisunderstandings (the final paragraph inexplicably alludes to Heidegger:`[Nietzsche,] in whose light and shadow everyone today thinks and reflectswith his "for him" or "against him", heard a command which demands apreparation of man for taking over a world domination', `The Question ofBeing' p.107) it's to forestall the replacement of ethics by ethology,albeit solely on the strength of a pained display of bogus scholarlydeliberation and diligence. For only thus will the world be made safe forthose factories of statist ideology known as universities and therefore forthis sort of ponderous garbage. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Deleuze, Cinema and National Identity challenges the traditional use of Deleuze's philosophy to examine European art cinema. It explores how Deleuze can be used to analyse national identity across a range of different cinemas. Focusing on narrative time it combines a Deleuzean approach with a vast range of non-traditional material. The films discussed are contemporary and popular (either financial or cult successes), and includeEternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,Terminator 3,Memento,Saving Private Ryan,Run Lola Run,Sliding Doors,Chaos andPeppermint Candy. Each film is examined in light of a major historical event - including 9/11, German reunification, and the Asian economic crisis - and the impact it has had on individual nations. This cross-cultural approach illustrates how Deleuze's work can enhance our understanding of the construction of national identity. It also enables a critique of Deleuze's conclusions by examining his work in a variety of national contexts. The book significantly broadens the field of work on Deleuze and cinema. It places equal emphasis on understanding mainstream North American genre films, American independent and European art films. It also examines Asian thrillers, gangster and art films in the light of Deleuze's work on time. With Asian films increasingly crossing over into western markets, this is a timely addition to the expanding body of work on Deleuze and film. Key Features * The first sustained analysis of Deleuze and national identity, bringing together film theory and film history. * Examines how narrative time is used to construct national identity across a range of different cinemas, including Britain, Germany, North America, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Italy and Poland. * Uses Deleuze in conjunction with a number of different types of recent film, from Hollywood blockbusters to Asian gangster movies. |

Editorial Review Product Description Reidar Due offers an entirely new interpretation of Deleuze's philosophy, centred around the notion of thought as a capacity to form relations. These relations are embodied in nature, in language and in the unconscious; in art, science and social practice. With this concept of embodied thought, Deleuze challenges our most entrenched beliefs about the self and about signs whether linguistic or social. He develops an original theory of power and social systems and presents a method for understanding any signifying practice, from language and ritual to the unconscious, including cinema, literature and painting. Due analyses the different strands in this theoretical edifice and shows its implications for a wide range of human sciences, from history and psychology to political theory and cultural studies.

Editorial Review Product Description The work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari has been inspirational for architects and architectural theorists in recent years. It has influenced the design work of architects as diverse as Greg Lynn and David Chipperfield, and is regularly cited by avant-gardist architects and by students, but usually without being well understood. The first collaboration between Deleuze and Guattari was Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, which was taken up as a manifesto for the post-structuralist life, and was associated with the spirit of the student revolts of 1968. Their ideas promote creativity and innovation, and their work is wide-ranging, complex and endlessly stimulating. They range across politics, psychoanalysis, physics, art and literature, changing preconceptions along the way. Deleuze & Guattari for Architects is a perfect introduction for students of architecture in design studio at all levels, students of architecture pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate courses in architectural theory, academics and interested architectural practitioners. |

A Necessary Companion to Capitalism and Schizophrenia
read this book
Great book, but not about Deleuze and Guattari It seems to me that this sort ofstrategy is symptomatic of a lot of works on both Deleuze and Deleuze'swork with Guattari.No one would deny that the works with Guattari andDeleuze's works "written in his own name" are exceedinglydifficult and require a lot of work to unlock, and that as a rule hiswritings in the history of philosophy are remarkably clear.As a result,there seems to be a refusal to read the independent works on their ownterms and a tendency to attempt to reduce them to the historical writings. While I would be the last to claim that the histories are to be ignored, itis nonetheless the case that the use of them ought to center arounddemonstrating how they converge with the independent works, how Deleuzerethinks their problematics, and where Deleuze diverges from them. Itis also likely that much of this textual practice comes from the latentimperative in Deleuze's philosophy to create.This has to do withDeleuze's textual strategy of "getting behind the author and creatinga monsterous offspring."As a result, those that write on Deleuzesimultaneously experience the necessity of merely doing commentary on whathe said in order to show how it belongs to a philosophical tradition andproblematic, while nonetheless being forced to remain silent on what hesaid.What seems to be forgotten are Deleuze's words immediately followinghis pronouncement of getting behind the author, where he claims that theonly rule is that the author himself must be shown to have said it. Moreover, much of the "creating" that goes on in the name ofDeleuze and Guattari comes to look like an arbitrary activity based on thewill of the author, rather than an expression of the impersonal andnecessary that D&G were always quick to emphasize.In other words,sometimes the greatest usefulness in writing about a text consists ingetting clear on what that text actually says in its own terms. Massumi'sbook can be highly illuminating and is a great and exciting read, but isnot necessarily the best source for coming to understand Deleuze andGuattari's difficult texts. One would do much better to first readsomething like Eugine Holland's book if their seeking to get an accuratepicture of what's going on in Deleuze and Guattari.
