What could queer theory do and become had it not been so entrenched in the notion of sexuality? 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. Nir Kedem is Assistant Professor of Cultural Studies in the Department of Cultural Studies, Creation and Production at Sapir Academic College, Israel.
