Across 13 essays – 12 of which were previously unavailable in English – Deleuze specialist Anne Sauvagnargues reveals the continuing potential of Deleuze, Guattari and Simondon to invent new concepts and new modes of creativity and existence. She redeploys their work, together with other key philosophers including Bergson, Lacan, Deligny and Ruyer, to create new concepts including geophilosophy, the artmachine, the ritornello, schizoanalysis and the machinic assemblage. Anne Sauvagnargues is one of Deleuze’s best interpreters because she is also one of Guattari’s best interpreters, a combination that makes Artmachines one of the most significant books ever written on Deleuze and Guattari. In this wide-ranging set of essays, Sauvagnargues analyzes a host of Deleuze and Guattari’s most vital concepts. Along the way, she discusses the work of various thinkers who had a profound influence on Deleuze and Guattari, such as Simondon, Ruyer, Leroi-Gourhan, and Deligny. But above all, Artmachines reveals Sauvagnargues to be a pioneering thinker in her own right, forging a powerful philosophy of variation and individuation that is destined to make Sauvagnargues one of the preeminent figures in French philosophy. -- Daniel W.
