Summary:

Lorraine (philosophy, Swarthmore College) has pursued the questions that interest her personally via the series of books written by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. Together they tackled the problems of how to be ethical, and how to practice philosophy with a pragmatic conception. After an introduction, five chapters discuss a genealogy of (in)human existence; feminist cartographies and minoritarian subjectivity; bodies, time, and intuition; ethics, trauma, and counter-memory; and politics, subjectivity, and theory.
