This collection of essays from a range of philosophers and art practitioners offers tools through which we can action change across art and philosophy, across a range of media and across the theory/practice divide.
Przedpełski and Wilmer have brought together a remarkably wide-ranging collection of essays by top-notch scholars that explore both the philosophical trajectory of Deleuze’s concept of multiplicity as well as its ramifications in domains such as art and politics The volume will become a standard reference work for anyone interested in the complexities and implications of Deleuze’s philosophical concepts. – Daniel W. Smith, Purdue University
Pulsating, vibrating and intensive, this collection does not just discuss the concept of multiplicity but also enacts it through the rich array of its multidisciplinary contributions. With topics ranging from film, theatre and sculpture through to Indigenous ritual, talismanic magic and Eastern European neo-avant-garde, it offers a significant contribution to the philosophy of creativity, while itself becoming a work of art. – Joanna Zylinska, Goldsmiths, University of London
