Ryan Johnson reveals that Deleuze’s provocative reading of ancient Stoicism produced many of his most singular and powerful ideas. Including previously untranslated French Stoic scholarship, Johnson ...unearths new possibilities for bridging contemporary and ancient philosophy.
Throughout his career, Deleuze developed a series of original philosophies of time and applied them successfully to many different fields. Now James Williams presents Deleuze's philosophy of time as ...the central concept that connects his philosophy as a whole.
Through this conceptual approach, the book covers all the main periods of Deleuze's philosophy: the early studies of Hume, Nietzsche, Kant, Bergson and Spinoza, the two great philosophical works,Difference and RepetitionandLogic of Sense, theCapitalism and Schizophreniaworks with Guattari, and the late influential studies of literature, film and painting.
The result is an important reading of Deleuze and the first full interpretation of his philosophy of time.
The first scholarly comparative analysis of Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze's philosophies of difference. Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze are best known for their respective attempts to ...theoretically formulate non-dialectical conceptions of difference. Now, for the first time, Vernon W. Cisney brings you a scholarly analysis of their contrasting concepts of difference. Cisney distinguishes their conceptions of difference by differentiating them on the basis of the criticisms they level against Hegel, as well as their valorisations of Nietzsche, and the ways in which they understand Nietzsche's thought to surpass that of Hegel. The contrast between the two, Cisney argues, is that while Deleuze formulates an affirmative conception of difference, Derrida's différance amounts to an irresolvable negativity.
A range of international contributors uncover and reflect upon the anti- and non-fascist ethics situated in Deleuze and Guattari's philosophical framework and that of the scholarship that followed ...after. The 'new philosophy' that Deleuze and Guattari propose to us is engaged and situated and it asks us to map urgent issues, not by opposing ourselves to it, but by mapping how it is part of the everyday, and of ourselves. The global rise of fascism today demands a rigid and careful analysis. The concepts and themes that Deleuze (and Guattari) handed to us in their extensive oeuvre can be of immense help in capturing its micropolitics and macropolitics.
All of the contributions in this volume have a keen eye on the practices of fascism today, meaning that they all show us, very much in line with Deleuze's thinking, how fascism works. The book is organized in three parts. The first part (twenty-first century fascisms) focuses on the global threats technologies and algorithmic realities; the second part (situated fascisms) holds analyses of fascisms at work in different parts of the contemporary world; the third part deals with patriarchal fascism and offers concrete case-studies of sexualized and genderized modes of oppression.
Em duas entrevistas reunidas em Pourparlers, Gilles Deleuze afirmava que a jurisprudência seria a verdadeira filosofia do direito. Ao mesmo tempo em que declarava a prescindibilidade dos juízes, ...Deleuze advogava que a prática jurisprudencial fosse atribuída a "grupos de usuários", assinalando aí o ponto em que se passaria do direito à política. Essas teses sugerem a possibilidade de adotar a noção deleuziana de jurisprudência como categoria social. Prolongando essa hipótese, este ensaio questiona se e como a jurisprudência poderia constituir uma categoria do pensamento social, promovendo uma interação deformante entre os campos da filosofia, da teoria social e do direito, especialmente a partir do realismo jurídico de Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., e das reinterpretações de Laurent de Sutter, das descrições etnográficas de Bruno Latour sobre o direito e das teses de Gilles Deleuze sobre a sua filosofia. Palavras-chave: Jurisprudência; Social; Deleuze. In two interviews gathered in Pourparlers, Gilles Deleuze stated that jurisprudence must would be proclaimed as the genuine philosophy of law. By advocating its delivrance to "groups of users", and assigning there the turning point of law into politics, Deleuze have asserted also that judges would be expendable savants. Those caustic theses suggest that the deleuzean apprehension of jurisprudence may be adoptable as a category of social thinking. This essay develops this hypothesis examining if and how may jurisprudence be held as a concept for social thinking by promoting a deforming interaction between the fields of Philosophy, Social Theory and Law. That interaction benefits mainly from the legal realism by Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., and the innovative interpretations advanced by Laurent de Sutter in that matter, as well as from the ethnographic descriptions on Law, by Bruno Latour, and also from Gilles Deleuze's theses on Law and Philosophy. Keywords: Jurisprudence; Social; Deleuze.
Shortlisted for the British Association of Film, Television and Screen Studies Annual Book Award! Deleuze’s Cinema books continue to cause controversy. Although they offer radical new ways of ...understanding cinema, his conclusions often seem strikingly Eurocentric. Deleuze and World Cinemas explores what happens when Deleuze’s ideas are brought into contact with the films he did not discuss, those from Europe and the USA (from Georges Méliès to Michael Mann) and a range of world cinemas - including Bollywood blockbusters, Hong Kong action movies, Argentine melodramas and South Korean science fiction movies. These emergent encounters demonstrate the need for the constant adaptation and reinterpretation of Deleuze’s findings if they are to have continued relevance, especially for cinema’s contemporary engagement with the aftermath of the Cold War and the global dominance of neoliberal globalization.

The first collection to theorise race and racism through the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze
In this volume, an international and multidisciplinary team of scholars inaugurates the Deleuzian study of ...race through a wide-ranging and evocative array of case studies.
Deleuze and Guattari provided new concepts of how humans are differentiated, through processes of state formation, capitalism, madness and desire. While sexual difference has received much attention in Deleuze studies, racial difference is a thornier problematic. As this collection of essays shows, Deleuze and Guattari had extremely original things to say about race, and the politics of phenotype and origin is never far from any engaged consideration of how the world works.

Deleuze’s philosophy of immanence, with its vigorous rejection of every appeal to the beyond, is often presumed to be indifferent to the concerns of religion. Daniel Barber shows that this is not the ...case. Addressing the intersection between Deleuze’s thought and the notion of religion, he proposes an alliance between immanence and the act of naming God. In doing so, he gives us a way out of the paralysing debate between religion and the secular. What matters is not to take one side or the other, but to create the new in this world.
