Du Bois, Gertrude Stein, Jean Toomer, and William Falkner","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores the significant intellectual impact the philosopher Jean Wahl had on the directions Gilles Deleuze took as a philosopher and writer of a philosophy of experimentation. The study of this influence also brings to light the significance of Deleuze's emphasis on \u003cem\u003ela pragmatique\u003c\/em\u003e, inspired by Wahl's writings and teachings and his fascination with American pluralism and pragmatism, particularly that of William James. This book also attempts to put Deleuze's theories into action, to write in a \u003cem\u003edeleuzian\u003c\/em\u003e way about American 'minor' literature and thought which Deleuze deemed 'superior.' This text inherently challenges and potentially provides an alternative way of reading\/writing to standard critical approaches which Deleuze tells us necessarily reduce and distort a 'minor' work's most lively, subtle and micro-politically efficient elements as they abort them from their 'minoritarian' fields of meaning to coerce them into already existing, standard and standardizing concepts that belong to and reinforce the 'Major Order's' organizational grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Zamberlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415975352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415975353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.34w x 0.68d","brand":"Mary Zamberlin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064979566847,"sku":"9780415975353","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f46badbe-3494-4dcb-acbe-f4d997528156.jpg?v=1768672328","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rhizosphere-mary-zamberlin-9780415975353","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
