Collapse Volume III: Unknown Deleuze

Collapse Volume III: Unknown Deleuze (Reissued Edition) Robin Mackay (Ed.) December 2012Urbanomic Associate Editors: Dustin McWherter Paperback 107x175mm, 458pp ISBN 978-0-9567750-5-4 Collapse III contains explorations of the work of Gilles Deleuze by pioneering thinkers in the fields of philosophy, aesthetics, music and architecture. In addition, we publish in this volume two previously untranslated texts by Deleuze himself, along with a fascinating piece of vintage science fiction from one of his more obscure influences. Finally, as an annex to Collapse Volume II, we also include a full transcription of the conference on 'Speculative Realism' held in London in 2007. The contributors to this volume aim to clarify, from a variety of perspectives, Deleuze's contribution to philosophy: in what does his philosophical originality lie; what does he appropriate from other philosophers and how does he transform it? And how can the apparently disparate threads of his work to be 'integrated' - what is the precise nature of the constellation of the aesthetic, the conceptual and the political proposed by Gilles Deleuze, and what are the overarching problems in which the numerous philosophical concepts 'signed Deleuze' converge?   Contents ROBIN MACKAY - Editorial Introduction THOMAS DUZER - In Memoriam: Gilles Deleuze 1925-1995 GILLES DELEUZE - Responses to a Series of Questions ARNAUD VILLANI - "I Feel I Am A Pure Metaphysician": The Consequences of Deleuze's Remark QUENTIN MEILLASSOUX - Subtraction and Contraction: Deleuze, Immanence and Matter and Memory HASWELL & HECKER - Blackest Ever Black GILLES DELEUZE - Mathesis, Science and Philosophy INCOGNITUM - Malfatti's Decade JOHN SELLARS - Chronos and Aion: Deleuze and the Stoic Theory of Time ÉRIC ALLIEZ & JEAN-CLAUDE BONNE - Matisse-Thought and the Strict Ordering of Fauvism MEHRDAD IRAVANIAN - Unknown Deleuze J.-H.
