Deleuze and the Schizoanalysis of Literature

The work of perennially important philosopher Gilles Deleuze is applied to literature with a specific focus on his concept of schizoanalysis.

In 1972, the French theorists Deleuze and Guattari unleashed their collaborative project—which they termed schizoanalysis—upon the world. Today, few disciplines in the humanities and social sciences have been left untouched by its influence. Through a series of groundbreaking applications of Deleuze and Guattari's work to a diverse range of literary contexts, from Shakespeare to science fiction, this collection demonstrates how schizoanalysis has transformed and is transforming literary scholarship. Intended for upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates and scholars with an interest in continental philosophy, literary theory and critical and cultural theory, Deleuze and the Schizoanalysis of Literature is a cutting edge volume, featuring some of the most original voices in the field, setting the agenda for future research.
