Zusatztext It's hard to live through this time and not feel besieged by nihilism -- by the feeling that we've had it, that the beautiful revolutionary possibilities of the last century have disappeared into a miasma of hatreds while the sea levels rise. Chantelle Gray goes in search of "reasons to believe in this world," "a feeling that life is worth living"; in so doing, she not only rereads the anarchist tradition through Deleuze and Guattari and vice versa, she also brings all three into this troubled century, making them come to grips with the new and terrifying forms of oppression. Readers numb from doomscrolling can find funds of hope and wisdom here. Informationen zum Autor Chantelle Gray is an Associate Professor in the School of Philosophy at North-West University, South Africa. She is the editor of Deleuze and Anarchism , co-edited with Aragorn Eloff. Vorwort Both explores the ways in which Deleuze, and Deleuze and Guattari’s, key concepts and ideas overlap and intersect with anarchism and argues that they were much more engaged with anarchist thought than previously thought Zusammenfassung Deleuze and Guattari never identified as anarchists, nor do they seem to know much about its historical development or continued praxis. Yet their individual and collective work belies this apparent and wilful oversight through a steady consideration of revolutionary subjectivity and active political experimentation.Chantelle Gray argues that while we cannot — and should not — attempt to call them anarchists, their work resonates with core anarchist principles such as prefiguration, careful experimentation and emergent strategies aimed at creating a feeling that life is worth living. This involves paying attention to both joyous affects and sad passions, which necessitates the affirmation of all of chance and, from that, fabulating new modes of existence. By bringing together the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari with the theory and practices of anarchism, this book demonstrates that fabulating the future is nothing short of a noetic act, making reasonable something which initially was senseless.
