The Incomplete Project of Schizoanalysis: Collected Essays on Deleuze and Guattari Tapa blanda -

Descripción de contraportada

'If all we do is bring to light what we already know, then what is the point of what we are doing?' This has been Ian Buchanan's guiding motto throughout his academic career and continues to inform his reading of Deleuze and Guattari. In these twenty essays written over a twenty- year period Buchanan shines a light on the experimental nature of the work of Deleuze and Guattari. He shows it to be constitutively incomplete as their project was an attempt to understand our contemporary situation which is constantly changing and can therefore never be understood in a complete way. Clustered around five main themes - Method, Film, Space, Analysis and Assemblages - the book will appeal to experts as well as those new to Deleuze and Guattari working across literary criticism, film studies, cultural studies, political theory and philosophy. Key features: Includes eighteen previously published essays and two unpublished essays on the work of Deleuze and Guattari by one of the world's leading commentators on their work Provides a single place to encounter Buchanan's work on Deleuze and Guattari Frames the text through schizoanalysis which provides a stepping-off point as well as a guiding thread through the collection Offers innovative applications of schizoanalysis. Ian Buchanan is Professor of Cultural Studies and Critical Theory at the University of Wollongong. He is the founding editor of Deleuze and Guattari Studies and the author of Assemblage Theory and Method.
