Deleuze and the Schizoanalysis of Religion, Hardback Book

Deleuze and the Schizoanalysis of Religion Hardback

Edited by F. LeRon (University of Agder, Norway) Shults, Lindsay (Cardiff University, UK) Powell-Jones

Part of the Schizoanalytic Applications series

Hardback

Description

This volume brings together some of the leading voices in the field of Deleuze studies to explore – and practice – a variety of approaches to the schizoanalysis of religion.

The authors share an enthusiasm for applying Deleuze and Guattari's schizoanalytic project to “religion,” but they display significantly different ways of carrying out its creative and destructive tasks.

As a whole, the book addresses the relevance of Deleuze for contemporary developments in political theology, liberation theology, Christian doctrine, and the recent growth of interest in spirituality and atheism. Opening up new lines of flight for Deleuze studies, Deleuze and the Schizoanalysis of Religion makes rhizomic connections that will be of interest to scholars in other fields including theology, psychology of religion, philosophy of religion and the history and practice of Western esotericism.
