Deleuze and the Social

This is the first book to focus on the implications of Deleuze and Guattari's thinking on the social sciences and organisation. This book is concerned with the most basic notions of 'the social'. It seeks both to comprehend the 'multiplicity' of the social - in Deleuzian terms, the 'becoming' of the social itself; and it seeks to develop a new social analytical practice. Each of the newly commissioned chapters shows the strength and practises the radicalism of a Deleuzian and Guattarian approach to social science and organisation studies. The five parts of the book are organised around central concepts within the social sciences: 'order', 'subjectivity', 'art', 'capitalism' and 'social ontology'. The international team of authors includes Eric Alliez, Maurizio Lazzarato, Eugene Holland, Paul Patton, Manuel DeLanda, and Ian Buchanan.
