Abstract

The work of Gilles Deleuze (1925–95) spreads over four decades and twenty‐four volumes (and counting). The titular subject‐matter of his books ranges from topics in Western philosophy to psychoanalysis to literature to cinema to painting to the multiple itself (A Thousand Plateaus … and counting). The list of single‐authored works is intersected by a series of high‐profile collaborative projects with Félix Guattari (1930–92). In no two books, solo or duet, does the theoretical vocabulary entirely coincide. Where terms recur, their contours shift. The continual variation in content, voice, and terminology makes a traditional overview impossible.
