20 essays from Ronald Bogue's decade-long encounter with Deleuze's philosophy

Addressing the question of the relationship between ethics and aesthetics in Deleuze's philosophy, this book provides indications of the practical implications of Deleuze's approach to the arts through analysis of the ethical dimension of artistic activity in literature, music, and film.

This is an introduction to Deleuze's work on literature. It provides treatments of Deleuze's early book on Proust and his seminal volume on Kafka and minor literature.

A systematic overview of Deleuze's writings on music and painting, and an assessment of their position within his aesthetics as a whole. Whilst breaking new ground in the scholarship on Deleuze's aesthetics, it provides a clear guide to his often overlooked writings on music and painting.

A comprehensive user's guide to Gilles Deleuze's important work on cinema. Bogue provides an accessible manual to "Cinema I" and "Cinema II", giving readers the background and exposition they need to work through Deleuze's most complex ideas, most obscure references and densest passages.

The concept of fabulation makes a late appearance in Deleuze's career and in only limited detail, but by tracing its connections to other concepts and situating them within Deleuze's general aesthetics, Ronald Bogue develops a theory of fabulation which he proposes as the guiding principle of a Deleuzian approach to literary narrative.Fabulation, he argues, entails becoming-other, experimenting on the real, legending, and inventing a people to come, as well as an understanding of time informed by Deleuze's Chronos/Aion distinction and his theory of the three passive syntheses of time. In close readings of contemporary novels by Zakes Mda, Arundhati Roy, Roberto Bolano, Assia Djebar and Richard Flanagan, he demonstrates the usefulness of fabulation as a critical tool, while exploring the problematic relationship between history and story-telling which all five novelists adopt as a central thematic concern.This is an original and exciting project by a highly respected specialist in the field.

This book should be of interest to teachers and students of literature, critical theory, philosophy and psychoanalysis.
