(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.
