Deleuze and Film presents a rich collection of essays that takes Deleuze's work on cinema out of its dominant Eurocentric corpus. Taking us on an inspiring world tour of film analysis and creative conceptual thinking, this book testifies to the continuing productive generosity of Deleuze's film-philosophy, and includes a dynamic range and depth of film scholarship.
This book testifies to the continuing vitality of Gilles Deleuze's Cinemavolumes: they still offer resources to film scholars and theorists today even when they are working on the sorts of films that Deleuze himself never commented on.

Deleuze and New Technology - Edited By David Savat and Mark Poster - Edinburgh University Press, Uk, June 2009


Deleuze and New Technology
Edited By: David Savat and Mark Poster


Publication Date:Jun 2009


Explores how Deleuze's philosophy can help us to understand our digital and

biotechnological futuresIn a world where our lives are increasingly mediated by technologies, we need to pay more attention to Deleuze's often explicit focus on our reliance on the machine and the technological. These essays are a collective and determined effort to explore the usefulness Deleuze in thinking about our present and future reliance on technology. At the same time, they take seriously a style of thinking that negotiates between philosophy, science and art.

'It is not the elements or the sets which define the multiplicity. What defines it is the AND, as something which has its place between the elements or between the sets. AND, AND, AND – stammering.'
– Gilles Deleuze and Claire Parnet, Dialogues

This is the original groundbreaking series of Deleuze-inspired books that has already placed Deleuze's thought in connection with feminist theory, music, space, geography, queer theory, performance, postcolonial studies, contemporary art, and is constantly opening new frontiers in Deleuze Studies.
