Description
Deleuze & Fascism: Security: War: Aesthetics, edited by Brad Evans and Julian Reid, utilizes Gilles Deleuze's philosophical concepts to re-examine fascism as a dynamic issue within evolving power structures. The book challenges traditional and critical interpretations of the relationship between fascism and modernity, highlighting the limitations of existing theories. It offers a unique perspective on how fascism interacts with liberalism and modernity, both historically and in today's context. The volume covers a broad spectrum of topics, including the contemporary nature of war, the increasing emphasis on security imperatives, transformations in biopolitical regimes, fascist aesthetics, nihilistic tendencies, the modernist logic of finitude, and the politics of suicide. By exploring the desires that underpin fascism and its persistent quest for power, the book provides insights into the causes and consequences of modern wars and global political conflicts. It also serves as an accessible guide to applying Deleuzian thought within International Relations, filling a gap in current discourse. This work is particularly valuable for students and scholars of international relations, political philosophy, and those interested in the theoretical applications of Deleuze's ideas
