Overview

"'The world does not exist outside of its expression' The works of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari have had an impact far beyond philosophy. Although they famously claim ""the world does not exist outside of its expression"", expression remains an overlooked aspect of their work. A Shock to Thought brings together a collection of excellent essays that explore the implications of Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy of expression in a number of contemporary contexts: beauty versus modernism, reflection to postmodernism, sensation and politics, the conditions of emergence, and the virtual in politics, poetry, music and digital culture. The volume also makes available an interview with Guattari which clearly restates the ""aesthetic paradigm"" that organizes both his and Deleuze's work. A Shock to Thought will be of interest to all those in philosophy, cultural studies, and art theory.

Reviews

'For those interested in new developments in aesthetics, literature, and cultural theory, this will prove an indispensable volume and an inspiring collection.' - Keith Ansell Pearson, University of Warwick 'This volume will have a prominent, indeed privileged place at the interface between philosophical and aesthetic reflections within the burgeoning field of Deleuze-Guattari studies.' - Charles Stivale, Wayne State University

'There is no doubt that many, if not most, of the publications cursorily considered here will contribute extensively to the increasingly fraught debates around immanence-related topics, making for some engaging, significant and exciting developments in the next few years.' - Critical and Cultural Theory
