Who's Afraid of Deleuze and Guattari? Summary

Who's Afraid of Deleuze and Guattari? by Gregg Lambert

Deleuze and Guattari's landmark philosophical project, Capitalism and Schizophrenia, has been hailed as a 'highly original and sensational' major philosophical work. The collaboration of two of the most remarkable and influential minds of the twentieth century, it is a project that still sets the terms of contemporary philosophical debate. It provides a radical and compelling analysis of social and cultural phenomena, offering fresh alternatives for thinking about history, society, capitalism and culture. In Who's Afraid of Deleuze and Guattari?, Gregg Lambert revisits this seminal work and re-evaluates Deleuze and Guattari's legacy in philosophy, literary criticism and cultural studies since the early 1980s. Lambert offers the first detailed analysis of the reception of the Capitalism and Schizophrenia project by such key figures as Jameson, Zizek, Badiou, Hardt, Negri and Agamben. He argues that the project has suffered from being underappreciated and too hastily dismissed on the one hand and, on the other, too quickly assimilated to the objectives of other desires such as multiculturalism or American identity politics. In the light of the limitations of this reception-history, Lambert offers a fresh evaluation of the project and its influences that promise to challenge the ways in which Deleuze and Guattari's controversial and remarkable project has been received. Divided into four key sections, Aesthetics, Psychoanalysis, Politics and Power, Who's Afraid of Deleuze and Guattari? offers a fresh, witty and intelligent analysis of this major philosophical project.

Who's Afraid of Deleuze and Guattari? Reviews

"'A smart, fast, witty book which surveys Deleuze's philosophy with an intellectual agility, a sparkling intelligence, and an effortless command of film, post-Cartesian philosophy, psychoanalysis and literature in several languages.' Jean Michel Rabate, University of Pennsylvania 'Full of thoughtful, at times brilliant reflections on the current state of theory and its relation to the world.' Dorothea Olkowski, University of Colorado Praise for Anti-Oedipus (Deleuze and Guattari) '... a rare and remarkable book, which offers us a new metaphysics' TLS Praise for A Thousand Plateaus (Deleuze and Guattari): 'A major philosophical work by perhaps the most brilliant philosophical mind at work in France today.' Frederick Jameson 'Highly original and sensational.' Hayden White"
