This exciting collection of new work proposes a major paradigm shift in debates on sexuality: a shift away from discourse, identity and signification, to a radical new conception of bodily materialism. The field of Queer Theory has for too long been dominated by the work of Judith Butler and the focus on Performativity. The authors in this collection attempt to re-imagine Queer Theory through a critical engagement with the work of Deleuze and Guattari. The themes explored in the book are diverse and include: the revisiting of the term 'queer'; a rethinking of the sex-gender distinction as bein

Focuses on the implications of Deleuze and Guattari's thinking on the social sciences and organisation. This book is concerned with the basic notions of 'the social'. It seeks both to comprehend the 'multiplicity' of the social - in Deleuzian terms, the 'becoming' of the social itself; and it seeks to develop the social analytical practice

The first collection of essays to focus on Deleuze and Guattari's writing on childrenThis collection applies the characterisations of children and childhood made in Deleuze and Guattari's work to concerns that have shaped our idea of the child. Bringing together established and new voices, the authors cover philosophy, literature, religious studies, education, sociology and film studies.These essays question the popular idea that children are innocent adults-in-the-making. They consider aspects of children's lives such as time, language, gender, affect, religion, atmosphere and schooling. As a whole, this book critically interrogates the pervasive interest in the teleology of upward growth of the child.Key FeaturesRethinks traditional approaches to children and childhood, recognising their consequences for the materialist child and adult–child relationsApproaches the figurations of children and childhood in discourses such as cultural studies, queer studies, language studies, education, sociology, psychoanalysis, religion, and economics through the lens of Deleuze and GuattariApplies new approaches to children through Deleuze and Guattari, gaining awareness about our default attitudes and assumptions about children and childhoodContributorsMarkus P.J.

"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 Žižek 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" -- Amazon.com

A multi-disciplinary analysis of Deleuze's theory of temporalityOffers detailed historical analyses of Deleuze's theory of time in relation to the views of other key figures in Western philosophyProvides a fascinating analyses of the relationship of Deleuze's philosophy of time in comparison to ancient and contemporary physicsIncludes a thorough discussion of how the industrial revolution changed the nature of timeProvides a ground-breaking analysis of Deleuze's concept of how film and literature change the way time is perceivedDeleuze'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
