Breaking up with Deleuze: desire and valuing the irreconcilable

摘要

In this article, Eve Tuck grapples with Gilles Deleuze’s conceptualization of desire, finding it simultaneously generative and unsatisfying. Recognizing that Deleuze will not ‘say’ what Tuck wants him to say about desire - that it is smart, and constitutes expertise - Tuck reasons that there is only one thing she can do: break up with Deleuze. The article is organized into several break‐up rituals, and in each of the rituals, the author works to understand, interrogate, expand, and extend conceptualizations of desire. In these ways, an articulation of what it means to value the irreconcilable is presented.View full textDownload full textKeywordsDeleuze, desire, valuing the irreconcilable, theory use, indigeneityRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09518398.2010.500633
