(Introduction and Chapter one available to preview online)

?Martin-Jones writes with clarity and verve, bringing lucidity to Deleuze?s difficult texts and offering provocative insights into a variety of cinematic traditions and practices. A superb contribution to Deleuze studies and essential reading for anyone interested in world cinemas"

Ronald Bogue, University of Georgia, USA.



Deleuze?s Cinema books continue to cause controversy. Although they offer radical new ways of understanding cinema, his conclusions often seem strikingly Eurocentric. Deleuze and World Cinemas explores what happens when Deleuze?s ideas are brought into contact with the films he did not discuss, those from Europe and the USA (from Georges Méliès to Michael Mann) and a range of world cinemas ? including Bollywood blockbusters, Hong Kong action movies, Argentine melodramas and South Korean science fiction movies. These emergent encounters demonstrate the need for the constant adaptation and reinterpretation of Deleuze?s findings if they are to have continued relevance, especially for cinema?s contemporary engagement with the aftermath of the Cold War and the global dominance of neoliberal globalization.
