Review
Though Deleuze and Guattari once famously wrote, "The world does not exist outside of its expressions," scholars have paid scant attention to their philosophy of expression. This intriguing new collection offers a series of incisive essays that discern the meanings of Deleuze and Guattari's views on expression, communication, and "transcendental empiricism." The contributors look at the philosophers' writings in a variety of contemporary contexts: beauty vs. the sublime in postmodernism, sensation and politics, and the virtual in politics, poetry, dance, music, and dance. A Shock to Thought is an important and helpful addition to the growing literature on Deleuze and Guattari with implications for the contemporary study of philosophy and aesthetics.
