FORTHCOMING: Rhizomes 16, Deleuze and Film

This special issue of Rhizomes features essays that explore ways in which the works of Deleuze or Deleuze and Guattari in collaboration contribute to the critical analysis, theory, or historical study of film. Of special interest are essays that utilize or investigate concepts from Deleuze’s cinema books, although essays that use any aspect of Deleuze’s work are welcome. We welcome as well papers focused on significant responses to Deleuze’s work on cinema (by Zizek or Badiou, for example) or ones that connect Deleuzian concepts to other important thinkers in ways that bear on how we see film. Other possibilities include essays that respond to the work of prominent Deleuzian theorists who have recently published overviews of his work on film, including Claire Colebrook and Ronald Bogue. Overall, we seek essays that challenge not only the established approaches to cinema studies but also those that propose new and even radical readings of Deleuzian concepts regarding film.

Guest edited by Dyrk Ashton, Department of Theatre and Film, The University of Toledo, and Don Callen, Department of Philosophy, Bowling Green State University.
