Deleuze Connections

by Simone Bignall

This is the first anthology to unite Deleuzian philosophy and postcolonial theory. Paul Patton and Simone Bignall assemble leading figures, including Reda Bensma?a, Rey Chow, Nick Nesbitt, Patricia Pisters, Marcelo Svirsky, and Simon Tormey, to explore the rich links between colonial and postcolonial social, cultural, and political issues within Asia, Africa, the Americas, India, and Palestine. Colonial government, nation building, and ethics in the context of globalization and decolonization are explored through desire, sexuality, and agency, and questions of "representation" and discursive power are illuminated in examples taken from postcolonial art, cinema, and literature.
