Klappentext 'This book offers us a variety of perspectives both on the animals that we are, and on the animals that we will never be able to know or to become. It is a timely reminder of the many processes and relations linking us to the "buzzing, blooming confusion" around us.'Steven Shaviro, Wayne State UniversityExplores the relationship between Deleuze and the concept of the animal in philosophy, aesthetics and ethicsThis is the first volume to address the animal in Deleuze's work, despite becoming-animal being a key concept for Deleuze and Guattari. It shows the ambiguous idea of the animal as human and nonhuman life infiltrating all of Deleuze's work.In these 16 chapters Deleuze's entire oeuvre is used in analysing television, film, music, art, drunkenness, mourning, virtual technology, protest, activism, animal rights and abolition. Each chapter questions the premise of the animal and critiques the centrality of the human.This collection creates new questions about what the age of the anthropocene means by 'animal' and analyses and explores examples of the unclear boundaries between human and animal.Patricia MacCormack is Professor of Continental Philosophy at Anglia Ruskin University.
