Deleuze and the Body

A collection of essays on the approaches and applications of Deleuze''s philosophy to the body

Deleuze and the Body puts the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze to work in thinking through the body. It traces the multiple lines of thought and affect that inhabit the ideas and attitudes of the body, and it analyzes how certain relationships to power, creativity, and to affectivity form the body. Contributors draw on a variety of contemporary cultural, scientific, and philosophical modes of enquiry to produce a truly multidisciplinary view of the Deleuzian body, offering a fresh look at art, movement, and literature.
