Beskrivning

Systematically analyses affect as the fundamental problem in and for Deleuze's philosophyRe-examines Deleuze's status as a pillar of affect theory and, a fortiori, affect theory itselfDemonstrates simultaneously 'radical' and 'conservative' tendencies of Deleuze's philosophy Develops affect as the operator of interdisciplinarity according to DeleuzeChallenges the portrayal of Deleuze as an unambiguous champion of affectPerhaps more than any other philosopher, Deleuze has been pivotal for the recent 'affective turn' in philosophy and the humanities at large. Critics and proponents alike, however, have yet to appreciate the extent to which Deleuze himself remains profoundly ambivalent toward affect and embodiment in general. In this book, D. J. S. Cross argues that this ambivalence and its longevity have been overlooked because they only become apparent through a systematic analysis of affect throughout Deleuze's work. By outlining how, from beginning to end, Deleuze's system of thought both ruptures and complies with the tradition, Cross recalibrates Deleuze's philosophy and the recent 'affective turn' that hinges upon it.

Recensioner i media

This excellent book is a welcome counterpoint to the ubiquity that affect has acquired in much recent theorising. Cross not only illuminates key sources of the concept but, more importantly, problematises them in ways that give back to Deleuze some of the joy and inventiveness of his own philosophical method.
