Unfolding the Deleuze Seminars, 1970-1987

This book is pure gold for all of us who want to think alongside Deleuze. Stivale’s clear summaries and rich contexts deliver the relational mesh in which Deleuze’s writings came into being. We can almost hear the students crowding the seminar room, the sound recordists’ cassette changes, and the susurration of growing, living concepts. -- Laura U. Marks, Simon Fraser University
From Cinema through philosophers to innovating creative becomings for living life, these seminars present over 200 gems from Deleuze which return the reader to the affirmative joy of being within a pedagogic fold with Deleuze. Stivale’s commentary provides a sensitive and nuanced revelation that is a reminder of the wonder visiting and revisiting Deleuze incites. -- Patricia MacCormack, Anglia Ruskin University, UK.
As a reader who has benefited immeasurably from Charles Stivale’s excellent translations and scholarship over the decades, this latest gift of the Deleuze seminars to an English-speaking audience feels unduly unreciprocated. Yet, I am confident it will inspire new research into Deleuze’s pedagogy and, perhaps, repay the author in some small way for his tireless endeavors. -- Joff P. N. Bradley, Teikyo University, Japan.
