An expressive dialogue between Gilles Deleuze's philosophical writings on cinema and Samuel Beckett's innovative film and television work, the book explores the relationship between the birth of the event - itself a simultaneous invention and erasure - and Beckett's attempts to create an unrepresentable space within the interstices of language as a (W)hole. While focusing specifically on. Film. (1964), the television adaptations of dramatic works such as. Play, Not I. and. What Where., as well as the made-for-TV productions of. Eh Joe, â€abut the cloudsâ€a, Ghost Trio, Quad I & II. and. Nacht und TrÃñume., this bookis more than an exploration of Beckett's TV work through a specific Deleuzeanfilter. More importantly, it is also an opportunity to re-examine Deleuze's. Cinema 1. and. 2. - specifically the affect- and time-images - through Beckett's specific audio-visual 'peephole.' Given Beckett's obvious compatibility with Kafka and minor literature, this study contextualizes his television work inrelation to Deleuze's writings on cinema as a whole, and by extension, the ontology and semiotics of film and televisual language.
