Deleuze and Guattari's a Thousand Plateaus: A Critical Introduction and Guide

By Brent Adkins

Book Overview

The sheer volume and complexity of Deleuze and Guattari's A Thousand Plateaus can be daunting. What is an assemblage? What is a rhizome? What is a war machine? What is a body without organs? What is becoming-animal? Using clear language and numerous examples, each chapter of this guide analyses an individual plateau and examines the tendencies toward both stasis and change for each assemblage found there - be it social, political, psychological, musical, biological or linguistic.
