ISBN: 0802093906 ISBN-13: 9780802093905 Publisher: University of Toronto Press OUR PRICE: $47.70 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: August 2005 Annotation: This volume brings together the latest thinking in spatial research, foregrounding the importance of Deleuze and Guattari's contributions to the theory of space. It focuses on concepts produced to theorize the changing conditions of spatial phenomena in globalized systems and cultural forms. Chapters from noted scholars explore the pertinence of Deleuze and Guattari's concepts for the analysis of contemporary architecture, the environment, contemporary film and emerging political and cultural formations. The diversity of the contributors' areas of specialization distinguishes this volume from the many other collections on Deleuze and Guattari. The editors strike a balance between range, on the one hand, and highly recognized figures who have established the contemporary scholarship on Deleuze and Guattari on the other. In addition to the editors themselves, contributors include Reda Bensmaia, Tom Conley, Gregory Flaxman and Manuel De Landa. |

| Publisher Description: Gilles Deleuze was arguably the twentieth century's most spatial philosopher - not only did he contribute to a plethora of new concepts to engage space, space was his very means of doing philosophy. He said everything takes place on a plane of immanence, envisaging a vast desert-like space populated by concepts moving about like nomads. Deleuze made philosophy spatial and gave us the concepts of smooth and striated, nomadic and sedentary, deterritorialisation and reterritorialisation, the fold, as well as many others to enable us to think spatially. This collection takes up the challenge of thinking spatially by exploring Deleuze's spatial concepts in applied contexts: architecture, cinema, urban planning, political philosophy, and metaphysics. In doing so, it brings together some of the most accomplished Deleuze scholars writing today - Réda Bensmaîa, Ian Buchanan, Claire Colebrook, Tom Conley, Manuel DeLanda, Gary Genosko, Gregg Lambert and Nigel Thrift.
