A Shock to Thought: Expression after Deleuze and Guattari

The works of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari have had an impact far beyond philosophy. A Shock to Thoughtbrings together a collection of excellent essays that explore the implications of Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy of expression in a number of contemporary contexts: beauty vs. modernism, reflection to postmodernism, sensation and politics, the conditions of emergence, and the virtual in politics, poetry, music and digital culture. The volume also contains an interview with Guattari which clearly restates the "aesthetic paradigm."
