Creative Involution: Bergson, Beckett Deleuze focuses on a force, on a philosophical trajectory that not only had a profound impact on critical thought of the 20th and now 21st centuries, but on cosmopolitan, contemporary culture more broadly and on artistic experiment and expression in particular. It explores how the work of Samuel Beckett intersects with such preoccupations of time as a "double headed monster," of memory and multiplicity, of being and becoming that continue in an involutionary turn through the work of Gilles Deleuze.
This series focuses on underexplored approaches to Samuel Beckett's work, examining those of Beckett's interests that were more arcane than mainstream, quirky, or strange, even, and those of his works that are less thoroughly explored critically, such as the poetry, the criticism, the later prose and drama.
