Intersects the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari and anarchist thoughtWhile both Deleuze and Guattari were deeply affected by the events of May '68 and an anarchist sensibility permeates their philosophy, there is no sustained or explicit discussion of anarchism in their work. This book offers a new analysis of Deleuze and Guattari's relationship to the notion of anarchism from both an anthropological and historical perspective.This collection of 13 essays addresses and explores Deleuze and Guattari's relationship to the concept of anarchism as they conceived of it themselves. Their concept of anarchism is diverse and is referred to in very different senses throughout their work. The essays also highlight the relationship between anarchism and anthropology as referenced through the work of Pierre Clastres.This map of Deleuze and Guattari's thought intersects with both classic and contemporary anarchist discourse and practices in both academia and society at large.Chantelle Gray van Heerden is a Senior Researcher at the Institute for Gender Studies at the University of South Africa. Aragorn Eloff is an independent researcher with a long-standing interest in the work of Deleuze and Guattari.
