Description
About the Book
This book demonstrates how Deleuze's philosophy provides us with a novel and important notion of historical creativity - that is, a way of thinking about history as an ontological force of creativity.Book Synopsis
How are we to understand the process of transformation, the creation of the new, and its relation to what has come before? In History and Becoming, Craig Lundy puts forward a series of fresh and provocative responses to this enduring problematic. Through an analysis of Gilles Deleuze's major solo works and his collaborations with Félix Guattari, he demonstrates how history and becoming work together in driving novelty, transmutation and experimentation. What emerges from this exploration is a new way of thinking about history and the vital role it plays in bringing forth the future.From the Back Cover
AUTHOR APPROVEDWhat is the relation between history and becoming? How is the creativity of becoming entangled with the history it either modifies or transforms? Lundy responds to such questions in this rich and lucid book. A must read for anyone who appreciates Deleuze and/or addresses the enigma of creativity.
William Connolly, Krieger-Esienhower Professor, Johns Hopkins University
