Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | What could queer theory do and become had it not been so entrenched in the notion of sexuality? This book is a first-of-its-kind implementation of Deleuze's philosophy to analyse and overcome the critical deadlocks of contemporary queer thought; provides practical, methodological guidelines for working with Deleuze across multiple disciplines; demonstrates how Deleuzian critique is a powerful means to transform and enhance our ways of thinking and acting; performs a metacritical, Deleuzian analysis of the philosophical foundations of queer theory, its evolution, and its power to transform today's political and cultural discourses. Holding queer theory to its promise to revolutionise our ways of thinking, Nir Kedem offers a forceful encounter between Deleuze's work and contemporary queer thought to provide both critical and practical means to re-evaluate and rework key concepts and methods, especially sexuality. Kedem provides a new pragmatic approach to working with Deleuze across multiple disciplines, a rigorous demonstration of its critical and creative power, as well as extensive analysis of the relations between Deleuze and queer thought. All of which exemplify that despite, if not owing to, the unassuming role of sexuality in his thought, Deleuze proves to be queer thought's true ally |
