Deleuze at the End of the World : Latin American Perspectives, Hardback Book

Deleuze at the End of the World : Latin American Perspectives Hardback

Edited by Dorothea E. Olkowski, Julian Ferreyra

Hardback

Description

The philosophy of Deleuze is as relevant to contemporary thought as it is obscure and complex.

Deleuze at the End of the World guides readers through this maze by exploring the raw material that Deleuze took from various fields of knowledge to construct his own concepts, some of them well known (such as Hegel, Kant, Husserl, Balibar and Blanchot) and some widely unexplored (Selme, Guillaume, Bakhtine and Dalcq).

At the same time, readers will gain access to South American perspectives on contemporary philosophy. Contextualized with an Introduction by one of the pioneers of the Deleuzian Studies at a global level, Dorothea Olkowski, this book provides both a unique tool for comprehending the philosophy of Deleuze, but also insight into to the way it has been read in the periphery of the American and European scholarship –where “the end of the world” means not only a geographical contingency, but the encounter of thought with its own limits.

This collection is both a refreshing approach to Deleuzian philosophy, as well as a continuous and innovative experience of thinking.
