Seeks to combine feminist voices with Deleuze and Guattari's work
Feminism and Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy share a commitment to reinvention and infinite variation, to follow the paths of individual vicissitudes and the sufferings and joys of the worlds in which we live, and to courageously imagine better futures. This volume seeks to open spaces for the intermingling of feminist voices with Deleuze and Guattari's work, endorsing the transformational potential of such encounters.
Key Features
- Evokes the multiplicity of desire and the reformulated concept of love that informs Deleuze and Guattari's understanding of relationality
- Creates new theoretical couplings between feminism and Deleuze and Guattari Studies
- Each contributor to this volume illuminates a new potential for aligning Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy with the desires and needs of a feminist future
