First published in 1969, shortly after Difference and Repetition, it prefigures the hybrid style and methods he would use in his later writing with Felix Guattari. In an early review Michel Foucault wrote that Logic of Sense 'should be read as the boldest and most insolent of metaphysical treatises'. The book is divided into 34 'series' and five appendices covering a diverse range of topics including, sense, nonsense, event, sexuality, psychoanalysis, paradoxes, schizophrenia, literature and becoming and includes fascinating close textual readings of works by Lewis Carroll, Sigmund Freud, Seneca, Pierre Klossowski, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Emile Zola.

After discussing my relation to Cajun culture and the research I undertake, I study (chapter 2) some stereotypes of Cajun life in relation to the music, then (chapter 3) in relation to selected cinema images, and then (chapter 4) in relation to this "thisness" of the Cajun dance-and-music event. I consider aspects of cultural "disenchantment" (or alienation) in chapter 5, distinct ways in which the various images previously discussed have been coopted and eroded, but I conclude on a conciliatory note by considering how all this constitutes a cultural dialogism most evident in the call-and-response of the music and dance.

After situating the "two-fold thought", I open part I by creating an intersection between Deleuze and Guattari's schizo-analysis and Coppola's Apocalypse Now, and then shift to consider "The Rhizomatics of Cyberspace."* Part II includes: "New Cartographies of the Literary: From Kafka to A Thousand Plateaus", "Mille/Punks/Cyber/Plateaus: Becomings-x",* "Nomad Love and the War Machine: Michel Tournier's Gilles et Jeanne",* "Of Hecceities and Ritournelles: 'Spaces of Affect' and the Cajun Dance Arena",* and Part III includes "Pragmatic/Machinic: Discussion with Felix Guattari (19 March 1985)",* "Comments on a Meeting with Gilles Deleuze",* and "Comment peut-on 'etre deleuzien'?: The Gift of Pedagogy".* The appendix consists of my translation with Melissa McMahon of Deleuze's 1972 essay, "How Do We Recognize Structuralism?", the same translation included in the edition of Deleuze's occasional pieces, Two Regimes of Madness, ed. David Lapoujade (New York and Cambridge, MA: Semiotext(e)/MIT Press, 2006).

Like Forbes and Kelly's book, this new edited collection highlights the current centrality of Francophone Studies within French departments, although the status of the relationships between French and Francophone Studies remains an open question. Le Hir and Strand's book offers an excellent graduate-level text that everyone interested in Cultural Studies, within and outside French departments, will read with much benefit.

The daily praxes of individual authorial and artistic pursuits are what have drawn us close to these selected texts. Individual authors’ obsessions and obsessive interests highlight the immense variation in how aesthetics operates as a determinant mode for those individuals and the communities with which they choose to engage. Aesthetic pursuits might be found to be a guilty pleasure in this moment of the history of the world. Yet through diverse articulations of such pursuits and pleasures the situations of the world might come into clearer relief, to be able to be seen, heard, and understood more readily, through another’s observations, through another’s perspectives, through another’s aesthetic forms. Many essays in this issue call for the utilization of the knowledge that creative forms can pass to us, and through their historical witness, and subjective confession, they become artefacts of processes operating the creation of thought. Many essays make connections across theoretical and practical lines, creating vectors of creativity themselves and showing how writers and artists have done so in contemporary writing and art. Above all, it is the play with language, and the functions of language – walking the lines of the text – that enable these stories of creative forces to unfold most fully. At the heart of this pursuit might lie the descriptions and allegories these authors bring to bear upon their interests – their passionate and vested interests in exploring worlds and expressing them in diverse ways that attempt to reach beyond the standard metaphysics of much contemporary philosophical writing. The ontologies expressed within are not insensitive to life’s pleasures – stimulation of the senses as well as intellect through our landscapes, architecture, music, art, friendship, love, the cinema, the novel, communication of intellectual and sensory pursuits, pleasures and pains. To pursue the often inadvertent construction that constitutes the creative process without finality or absolute status, Zsuzsa Baross provides several examples of how creativity is not necessarily governed by the power of subjectivity. In this way, she establishes a context for discussing a subjective displacement par excellence, innovative cinematic creation through found footage.

introductory pages, Massumi's "Notes on the Translation" provide a brief, yet
much needed glossary of particular terms encountered in the work. Furthermore, his translator's notes and bibliography provide clear references to writings by Deleuze and Guattari as well as to the many works on which they base their insights. Finally, the index (compiled by Hassan Melehy) is a precious tool for cross-referencing the writers and concepts in play throughout A Thousand Plateaus.
