Deleuze and the Postcolonial Hardback
Edited by Simone Bignall, Paul Patton
Part of the Deleuze Connections series
Hardback
Description
This is the first collection of essays bringing together Deleuzian philosophy and postcolonial theory.
Bignall and Patton assemble some of the world's leading figures in these fields - including Reda Bensmaia, Timothy Bewes, Rey Chow, Philip Leonard, Nick Nesbitt, John K.
Noyes, Patricia Pisters, Marcelo Svirsky and Simon Tormey - to explore rich linkages between two previously unrelated areas of study.
They deal with colonial and postcolonial social, cultural and political issues in Asia, Africa, the Americas, Australia and Palestine.
Topics include colonial government, nation building and ethics in the contemporary context of globalisation and decolonisation; issues relating to resistance, transformation and agency; and questions of 'representation' and discursive power as practiced through postcolonial art, cinema and literature.
This book constitutes a timely intervention to debates in poststructuralist, postcolonial and postmodern studies.
It will be of interest to students in cultural studies, cinema and film studies, languages and literature, political and postcolonial studies, critical theory, social and political philosophy.
