The essential work on Proust--now in paperback In a remarkable instance of literary and philosophical interpretation, the incomparable Gilles Deleuze reads Marcel Proust's work as a narrative of an apprenticeship--more precisely, the apprenticeship of a man of letters. Considering the search to be one directed by an experience of signs, in which the protagonist learns to interpret and decode the kinds and types of symbols that surround him, Deleuze conducts us on a corollary search--one that leads to a new understanding of the signs that constitute A la recherche du temps perdu. In Richard Howard's graceful translation, augmented with an essay that Deleuze added to a later French edition, Proust and Signs is the complete English version of this work. Admired as an imaginative and innovative study of Proust and as one of Deleuze's more accessible works, Proust and Signs stands as the writer's most sustained attempt to understand and explain the work of art.

In Kafka Deleuze and Guattari free their subject from his (mis)interpreters. In contrast to traditional readings that see in Kafka's work a case of Oedipalized neurosis or a flight into transcendence, guilt, and subjectivity, Deleuze and Guattari make a case for Kafka as a man of joy, a promoter of radical politics who resisted at every turn submission to frozen hierarchies.

這項研究並不是一套電影史，而是嘗試對屬於電影的影像與符徵進行分類。我們在此對第一類型的影像──即運動－影像，還有它的主要變化──感知－影像、動情－影像與動作－影像，以及構成上述影像特徵的各種(非語言學)符徵等等進行思考，有時是光與陰影的抗爭，有時又是光與白色的關係。這些質性與力量有時表現在容貌上，有時又展示在「任意空間」裡；有時揭示出原創世界，又有時實現於假定為真的地點裡。電影裡的偉大作者各有所長地發明並構成了這些影像與符徵，他們不只得以媲美畫家、建築師與音樂家，甚至可與思想家並駕齊驅。光是經由視聽效果而批判或讚揚是不夠的，而是應該說明思想如何用運動－影像，以及最深刻的時間－影像的聲光符徵來進行，以求偶爾能生產出偉大的作品。

時間－影像如何產生？無疑地，就是戰後隨著電影的轉變，因為感官機能情境讓位給(新寫實主義的)純聲光情境而產生。但這樣的轉變以各種不同的模式已醞釀多時(如小津、還有曼奇維茲，甚至於歌舞片)。時間－影像不會消弭運動－影像，而是反轉之間的從屬關係。時間不再是運動的一個數值或量測，即某種間接再現，同時運動也只是時間直接呈現的結果：即使是造假運動、錯接。錯接是「無理斷裂」的例子，況且當運動的電影利用有理斷裂進行影像串聯時，時間的電影則致力於無理斷裂上的再串聯(特別是聲效影像與視效影像之間)。
認為電影影像確實就是當刻是錯誤的。直接的時間－影像並非屬於當刻，也不單純就是回憶。它與經驗性的接續時間以及心理記憶決裂，而得以呈現為某種時間的次序或系列(如奧森•威爾斯、雷奈、高達……)。這些時間的符徵跟思維符徵和話語符徵之間密不可分。但思維又如何在電影中自顯？而什麼才是專屬電影的話語行動呢？

A Thousand Plateaus continues the work Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari began in Anti-Oedipus and has now become established as one of the classic studies of the development of critical theory in the late twentieth century. It occupies an important place at the center of the debate reassessing the works of Freud and Marx, advancing an approach that is neither Freudian nor Marxist but which learns from both to find an entirely new and radical path. It presents an attempt to pioneer a variety of social and psychological analyses free of the philosophical encumbrances criticized by postmodern writers. A Thousand Plateaus is an essential text for feminists, literary theorists, social scientists, philosophers, and others interested in the problems of contemporary Western culture.

A major work in the development of critical theory in the late twentieth century, Anti-Oedipus is an essential text for feminists, literary theorists, social scientists, philosophers, and others interested in the problems of contemporary Western culture.
In his preface, Michel Foucault calls Anti-Oedipus an introduction to non-fascist life, referring not just to political fascism but to the fascism within us--- the desire to be led. To address that problem, Deleuze and Guattari propose a political analysis of desire as it is expressed or repressed in Western culture. They find the seeds of society's sickness in contemporary psychoanalysis, especially in the powerful figure of Oedipus.

This brilliant exposition of the critique of identity is a classic in contemporary philosophy and one of Deleuze's most important works. Of fundamental importance to literary critics and philosophers,Difference and Repetition develops two central concepts--pure difference and complex repetition--a;and shows how the two concepts are related. While difference implies divergence and decentering, repetition is associated with displacement and disguising. Central in initiating the shift in French thought away from Hegel and Marx toward Nietzsche and Freud, Difference and Repetition moves deftly to establish a fundamental critique of Western metaphysics.
