The Deleuze Dictionary

The Deleuze Dictionary Edited by Adrian Parr The first dictionary dedicated to the work of Gilles Deleuze provides an in-depth and lucid introduction to one of the most influential figures in continental philosophy. The dictionary defines and contextualises more than 150 terms that relate to Deleuze's philosophy including concepts such as 'becoming', 'body without organs', 'deterritorialization' 'difference', 'repetition', 'rhizome' and 'schizoanalysis'. The clear explanations also address the main intellectual influences on Deleuze as well as the influence Deleuze has had on subjects such as feminism, cinema, postcolonial theory, geography and cultural studies. Those unfamiliar with Deleuze will find the dictionary a user-friendly tool equipping them with definitions and interpretations both as a study and/or a teaching aid. The entries are written by some of the most prominent Deleuze scholars including Rosi Braidotti, Claire Colebrook, Tom Conley, Eugene Holland and Paul Patton. These contributors bring their expert knowledge and critical opinion to bear on the entries and provide an enriching theoretical context for anyone interested in Deleuze.
