RÉSUMÉ
This excitingcollection of work introduces a major shift in debates on sexuality: ashift away from discourse, identity and signification, to a radical newconception of bodily materialism. Moving away from the established pathknown as queer theory, itsuggests an alternative to Butler's matter/representation binary. Itthus dares to askhow to think sexuality and sex outside the discursive and linguisticcontext that hascome to dominate contemporary research in social sciences andhumanities.
Deleuze and Queer Theoryis a provocative and often militant collection that explores a diverserange of themes including: the revisiting of the term 'queer'; arethinking of the sex-gender distinction as being implied in QueerTheory; an exploration of queer temporalities; the non/re-reading ofthe homosexual body/desire and the becoming-queer of theDeleuze/Guattari philosophy. It will be essential reading for anyoneinterested not just in Deleuze's and Guattari's philosophy, but also inthe fields of sexuality, gender and feminist theory.
