This book is an original exploration of Deleuzes dynamic philosophies of space, time and language, bringing Deleuze and futurism together for the first time. Helen Palmer investigates both the potential for creative novelty and the pitfalls of formalism within both futurist and Deleuzian linguistic practices. Through creative and rigorous analyses of Russian and Italian futurist manifestos, the futurist aspects of Deleuzes language and thought are drawn out. The genre of the futurist manifesto is a literary and linguistic model which can be applied to Deleuzes work, not only at times when he writes explicitly in the style of a manifesto but also in his earlier writings such as Difference and Repetition (1968) and The Logic of Sense (1969). The way in which avantgarde manifestos often attempt to perform and demand their aims simultaneously, and the problems which arise due to this, is an operation which can be perceived in Deleuzes writing. With a particular focus on Russian zaum, the book negotiates the philosophy behind futurist nonsense language and how Deleuze propounds analogous goals in The Logic of Sense. This book critically engages with Deleuzes poetics, ultimately suggesting that multiple linguistic models operate synecdochically within his philosophy.
