Bignall and Patton assemble some of the world’s leading figures in Deleuze studies and postcolonial theory – including Reda Bensmaïa, Rey Chow, Nick Nesbitt, Patricia Pisters, Marcelo Svirsky and Simon Tormey – to explore the rich linkages between these two previously unrelated areas of study. They deal with colonial and postcolonial social, cultural and political issues in Asia, Africa, the Americas, India and Palestine. Topics include colonial government, nation building and ethics in the contemporary context of globalisation and decolonisation, through issues relating to desire, sexuality and agency, to questionsof ‘representation’ and discursive power as practiced through postcolonial art, cinema and literature. This book constitutes a timely intervention to debates in poststructuralist, postcolonial and postmodern studies. It will be of interest to students in cultural studies, cinema and film studies, languages andliterature, political and postcolonial studies, critical theory, social and political philosophy.
