### Explores Deleuze and Guattari’s own diverse conceptions of anarchism and expands it in the spirit of their philosophy
This collection of 13 essays addresses and explores Deleuze and Guattari’s relationship to the notion of anarchism: in the diverse ways that they conceived of and referred to it throughout their work, and also more broadly in terms of the spirit of their philosophy and in their critique of capitalism and the State.
Both Deleuze and Guattari were deeply affected by the events of May ’68 and an anarchist sensibility permeates their philosophy. However, they never explicitly sustained a discussion of anarchism in their work. Their concept of anarchism is diverse and they referred to in very different senses throughout their writings. This is the first collection to bring Deleuze and Guattari together with anarchism in a focused and sustained way.
### Key Features
* The only book to focus exclusively on the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari and anarchism
* Includes an anthropological perspective, a line of enquiry pioneered by Pierre Clastres, referred to by Deleuze and Guattari and recently renewed by contemporary anthropologists such as Eduardo Vivieros de Castro and Eduardo Kohn
* Provides historical overviews alongside current anarchist applications of Deleuze and Guattari’s work
