Essays pay tribute to French philosopher
UGA professor of comparative literature Ronald Bogue wrote the
first book in English on French philosopher Gilles Deleuze. In Deleuze’s
Wake, his second book about the philosopher, Bogue brings
together eight of his essays written since Deleuze’s death
in 1995. The essays serve as tributes to Deleuze’s thought
and contribute to the wider dissemination of his ideas, especially
as they relate to the aesthetic dimension of his work.
Bogue explores how Deleuze views philosophy and the arts as complementary
spheres of creative activity that produce new ways of thinking,
perceiving and feeling. Discussing the broader implications of Deleuze’s
texts, the book addresses questions of style, writing, language,
cinema, painting, music, politics, religion and philosophy.
Constantin V. Boundas, co-editor of Gilles Deleuze and the Theater
of Philosophy, says that “Bogue’s book is lucid,
his interpretive insights are sharp and he shows how passages in
Deleuze’s texts that were considered impenetrable make excellent
sense.”
Villanova’s John Carvalho says, “Bogue gives interpretations
of Deleuze’s work on music and religion that have not been
explored fruitfully elsewhere.”
