Deleuze, Guattari and the Schizoanalysis of the Global Pandemic: Revolutionary P

The Nile on eBay   Deleuze, Guattari and the Schizoanalysis of the Global Pandemic by Saswat Samay Das, Ananya Roy Pratihar

A vital response to the COVID-19 pandemic, this volume connects the neoliberal underpinnings of the pandemic to the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari. By positioning the worst outcomes of the COVID-19 crisis in terms of neoliberal normativity, contributors argue that we need to understand the pandemic rhizomatically. Construed as an event that deterritorializes the globe, the crisis of the pandemic contains within it the potential for creating new assemblages, alliances, and solidarities to offset the power of the state in building regimes of exclusion, insulation and control. Deleuzo-Guattarian attention towards non-human life finds new meaning in the context of the virus, and our understanding of what constitutes life and inorganic life.Crisis, capitalism, and revolution are read anew through the pandemic and core Deleuzo-Guattarian concepts help to situate the proliferation of new models of mutual aid, sustainability, and care in the context of anti-capitalist critique.

Review

Using the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari, this collection of chapters grapples, in various ways, with what it means to engage a revolutionary praxis in the face of a global pandemic, and how to do so without falling prey to our little Oedipuses, our own dogmatic images of thought. * Chantelle Gray, Associate Professor of Philosophy, North-West University, South Africa *Deleuze, Guattari and the Schizoanalysis of the Global Pandemic is a timely book which gathers together a truly international set of perspectives on our current social, political and environmental milieu. * Hannah Stark, Associate Professor of English, University of Tasmania, Australia *Does the pandemic signal the rise of new forms of technological surveillance, capitalist transhumanism, and forced medical interventions? Or does the pandemic inspire us to create positive transversal communities and mutual aid groups? This book stages a lively debate among Deleuze scholars about the pandemic and what comes next. * Nicholas Tampio, Professor of Political Science, Fordham University, USA *
