Collapse

Collapse #3

by Robin Mackay

Collapse III contains explorations of the work of Gilles Deleuze by pioneering thinkers in the fields of philosophy, aesthetics, music and architecture. In addition, we publish in this volume two previously untranslated texts by Deleuze himself, along with a fascinating piece of vintage science fiction from one of his more obscure influences. Finally, as an annex to Collapse Volume II, we also include a full transcription of the conference on 'Speculative Realism' held in London in 2007.The contributors to this volume aim to clarify, from a variety of perspectives, Deleuze's contribution to in what does his philosophical originality lie; what does he appropriate from other philosophers and how does he transform it? And how can the apparently disparate threads of his work to be 'integrated' - what is the precise nature of the constellation of the aesthetic, the conceptual and the political proposed by Gilles Deleuze, and what are the overarching problems in which the numerous philosophical concepts 'signed Deleuze' converge?

not as stunning as 2, also I feel less approachable being both an extension of thinking on Deleuze and on the previous volume. That said, still an excellent and insightful kaleidoscope of Deleuze scholarships paired with the wonderful speculative realism conversations. Coming around on Meillassoux, still a Brassier hater, learning IHG, and loving Harman more and more.

Two thirds analysis of obscure phases of Deleuze, one third popular speculative realist authors thinking they dunked on Messalioux for being more complex than can be tolerated.
