Demystifying Deleuze

de Rob Shields, Mickey Vallee

"The theoretical work of Gilles Deleuze has transformed cultural studies and has made a significant impact on disciplines as diverse as sociology, queer theory, feminist studies, film, music, and philosophy. Until recently his books were notorious for their density and eccentric flair. While there are a wide array of introductions that complement and clarify his work, this assemblage stands apart by shedding his concepts of jargon and stressing the crucial, radical core of his philosophical ideas. 'Demystifying Deleuze' is a timely and approachable primer for students, scholars and critically-minded readers"--provided by publisher.
