Deleuze and Beckett by Se Wilmer

Deleuze and Beckett by Se Wilmer

Deleuze and Beckett is a collection of essays on specific aspects of the Deleuze and Beckett interface. Some of the world's leading Beckett and Deleuze specialists apply different concepts of Deleuzian philosophy to a wide range of Beckett's oeuvre, including his novels, short stories, and stage, film and television work.

“The book would inspire a fundamental reappraisal of the works of Beckett, challenging the prevailing view that situated Beckett within the series of well-known existential thinkers -Sartre, Camus, Ionesco -who dominated mid-twentieth-century French philosophy… In short, we have that rare and admirable thing in an academic text: an open invitation to create new combinations of thought.” (Tony Fisher, Theatre Research International, Vol. 41 (2), 2016)

“Deleuze and Beckett offers a valuable summary of existing scholarship in this area and brings many of its leading voices together to create a series of compelling dialogues between Deleuze and Beckett … . the collection addresses a wide range of works in both their oeuvres, as well as the authors’ readings of other artists and philosophers (such as Bergson), and opens up insights into the philosophical frameworks posited by Deleuze and the radically innovative aesthetics of Beckett’s work.” (Anna McMullan, Modern Drama, Vol. 59 (2), 2016)
