Explores the nature and relation of history and becoming in the work of Gilles DeleuzeHow are we to understand the process of transformation, the creation of the new, and its relation to what has come before? In History and Becoming, Craig Lundy puts forward a series of fresh and provocative responses to this enduring problematic. Through an analysis of Gilles Deleuze's major solo works and his collaborations with Félix Guattari, he demonstrates how history and becoming work together in driving novelty, transmutation and experimentation. What emerges from this exploration is a new way of thinking about history and the vital role it plays in bringing forth the future.Key featuresProvides a novel approach to and appreciation of Deleuze's philosophy of creativityDemonstrates the importance of history to Deleuze's conception of becomingCharts the relation of history and becoming throughout Deleuze's corpusShows how history can be creative, virtual and nonlinear
