A new edition of Zourabichvili's seminal works, published together for the first time. This edition makes available in a single volume Zourabichvili's most important writings on the philosophy of ...Gilles Deleuze: A Philosophy of the Event (1994) and Deleuze's Vocabulary (2003). More than simply defining terms, Zourabichvili uses the form of the glossary to stage a series of pointed confrontations within contemporary Continental philosophy. Its pages are as filled with polemics against Deleuze's hasty disciples and avid competitors as much as refutations of Deleuze's critics and detractors. Moreover, Zourabichvili makes an essential contribution to the ongoing debates of Deleuze's philosophy by singling out the three most controversial topics: univocity, creative vitalism and the event.

Deleuze's two Cinema books explore film through the creation of a series of philosophical concepts. Not only bewildering in number, Deleuze's writing procedures mean his exegesis is both complex and ...elusive. Three questions emerge: What are the underlying principles of the taxonomy? How many concepts are there, and what do they describe? How might each be used in engaging with a film? David Deamer's book is the first to fully respond to these three questions, unearthing the philosophies inspiring Deleuze's classifications, exploring every concept and reading a film for each. Clearly and concisely mapping the Cinema books for newcomers to Deleuzian film studies, Deamer also opens up new areas of enquiry for expert readers.

A guide to Deleuze and Guattari's masterwork,A Thousand PlateausRead the introduction, 'A Perceptual Semiotics', online for free (pdf)
The sheer volume and complexity of Deleuze and Guattari'sA ...Thousand Plateauscan be daunting. What is an assemblage? What is a rhizome? What is a war machine? What is a body without organs? What is becoming-animal? Brent Adkins demonstrates that all the questions raised byA Thousand Plateausare in service to Deleuze and Guattari's radical reconstruction of the methods and aims of philosophy itself.
To achieve this he argues that the crucial term for understandingA Thousand Plateausis 'assemblage.' An assemblage is Deleuze and Guattari's answer to the perennial philosophical question, 'What is a thing?' and they assert that assemblages are always found on a continuum between stasis and change. Using clear language and numerous examples, each chapter analyses an individual plateau and examines the tendencies toward both stasis and change for each assemblage found there - be it social, political, psychological, musical, biological or linguistic.
Key FeaturesExplains all the major terms found inA Thousand Plateausin clear languageEach chapter corresponds to a 'plateau' for ease of referenceProvides a singular interpretation of the work in terms of assemblages and connecting that interpretation with traditional and contemporary debates within philosophy
When students read Difference and Repetition for the first time, they face two main hurdles: the wide range of sources that Deleuze draws upon and his dense writing style. This Edinburgh ...Philosophical Guide helps students to negotiate these hurdles, taking them through the text step by step. It situates Deleuze within Continental philosophy more broadly and explains why he develops his philosophy in his unique way. Seasoned Deleuzians will also be interested in Somers-Hall's novel interpretation of Difference and Repetition.
