History and Becoming by Craig Lundy

How are we to understand the process of transformation, the creation of the new, and its relation to what has come before? In History and Becoming, Craig Lundy puts forward a series of fresh and provocative responses to this enduring problematic. Through an analysis of Gilles Deleuze's major solo works and his collaborations with Felix Guattari, he demonstrates how history and becoming work together in driving novelty, transmutation and experimentation. What emerges from this exploration is a new way of thinking about history and the vital role it plays in bringing forth the future.
Craig Lundy is a Reader in Social and Political Thought at London Metropolitan University. He is the author of Deleuze's Bergsonism (2018), History and Becoming: Deleuze’s Philosophy of Creativity (2012) and co-editor with Daniela Voss of At the Edges of Thought: Deleuze and Post-Kantian Philosophy (2015), all published with Edinburgh University Press.
