"Kenneth Surin's work represents a sustained engagement with the thought of Deleuze and Guattari over more than two decades, on a wide range of topics, from aesthetics and literature to capitalism and Marxism. The thematic thread of this collection is politics, tackling both central political issues, such as the State, globalization and the citizen, as well as the political qualities of topics generally considered outside this realm, such as the animal, the image and the literary. Surin pursue theoretical interventions inspired by Deleuze and Guattari's scholarship in relation to Marxism and specifically materialism and notions of political solidarity, which they did not engage with extensively or explicitly themselves, but which extend their critique along new lines of flight. Lastly, Surin demonstrates the breadth and lasting relevance of Deleuze and Guattari's legacy by tracing the affinities between Deleuze and Marxist sociologist Antonio Negri and Raymond Williams, one of the founders of cultural studies as a discipline"--Bloomsbury Collections.
