Summary
An original philosophical approach to one of the 20th century's most important literary figures. Creative Involution: Bergson, Beckett Deleuze focuses on a force, on a philosophical trajectory that not only had a profound impact on critical thought of the 20th and now 21st centuries, but on cosmopolitan, contemporary culture more broadly and on artistic experiment and expression in particular. It explores how the work of Samuel Beckett intersects with such preoccupations of time as a double headed monster," of memory and multiplicity, of being and becoming that continue in an involutionary turn through the work of Gilles Deleuze. Key Features Deploys new critical approaches (e.g., a return to Bergson and Bergsonism) Addresses underexplored works in the Beckett canon Presents new critiques of representation and Beckett's relationship to philosophy Attentive to critical thinking around affect theory and/in literature.
