What do we mean when we talk of an 'assemblage' in contemporary theory? Any and every thing, or more precisely, any and every kind of collection of things, could now be called an assemblage. The constant and seemingly limitless expansion of the term's range of applications begs the question, if any and every kind of collection of things is an assemblage, then what advantage is there is in using this term and not some other term, or indeed no term at all? What makes an assemblage an assemblage, and not some other kind of collection of things? This book advances beyond this impasse and offers practical help in thinking about and using assemblage theory for contemporary cultural and social research, in order to:
- Answer the question: what is assemblage theory? - Explain why assemblage theory is necessary - Provide clear instructions on how to use assemblage theory
The first book of it's kind, Ian Buchanan's guide maps the beginnings of a brand new field within the humanities.

Описание: Written by key people in the field, this timely and accessible book argues that treating policy`s movement as an active process of `translation`, in which policies are interpreted, inflected and re-worked as they change location, is of critical importance for studying policy.

Описание: Clarifies and systematises the concepts and presuppositions behind the influential new field of assemblage theory
Read and download the preface, by series editor Graham Harman, and the Introduction to Assemblage Theory for free now
Manuel DeLanda provides the first detailed overview of the assemblage theory found in germ in Deleuze and Guattari's writings. Through a series of case studies DeLanda shows how the concept can be applied to economic, linguistic and military history as well as to metaphysics, science and mathematics.
DeLanda then presents the real power of assemblage theory by advancing it beyond its original formulation - allowing for the integration of communities, institutional organisations, cities and urban regions. And he challenges Marxist orthodoxy with a Leftist politics of assemblages.
Key Features
Critically connects DeLanda with more recent theoretical turns in speculative realism
Makes sense of the fragmentary discussions of assemblage theory in the work of Deleuze and Guattari
Opens up assemblage theory to sociology, linguistics, military organisations and science so that future researchers can rigorously deploy the concept in their own fields

Автор: Tony D. Sampson Название: The Assemblage Brain: Sense Making in Neuroculture ISBN: 1517901162 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781517901165 Издательство: Marston Book Services Цена: 93720.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Once upon a time, neuroscience was born. A dazzling array of neurotechnologies emerged that, according to popular belief, have finally begun to unlock the secrets of the brain. But as the brain sciences now extend into all corners of cultural, social, political, and economic life, a yet newer world has taken shape: \u201cneuroculture,\u201d which goes further than ever before to tackle the profound ethical implications we face in consequence.The Assemblage Brain unveils a major new concept of sense making, one that challenges conventional scientific and philosophical understandings of the brain. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari, Tony D. Sampson calls for a radical critical theory that operates in the interferences between philosophy, science, art, and politics. From this novel perspective the book is structured around two questions: \u201cWhat can be done to a brain?\u201d and \u201cWhat can a brain do?\u201d Sampson examines the rise of neuroeconomics in informing significant developments in computer work, marketing, and the neuropharmaceutical control of inattentiveness in the classroom. Moving beyond the neurocapitalist framework, he then reestablishes a place for proto-subjectivity in which biological and cultural distinctions are reintegrated in an understanding of the brain as an assemblage. The Assemblage Brain unravels the conventional image of thought that underpins many scientific and philosophical accounts of how sense is produced, providing a new view of our current time in which capitalism and the neurosciences endeavor to colonize the brain.
