description: Robinson (philosophy, Grand Valley State University) re-casts familiar understandings of Foulcauldean concepts like "knowledge," "power," and "self," by infusing them with key aspects of Deleuze's thought. By focusing on the "space" occupied by thought, Robinson opens a discussion of the possibility of freedom represented by thoughts "outside" that "space," or at the very least, "thought of the outside." Chapters focus on literature and madness, the exterior limits of knowledge, events of thought, the space-time of power, the interiorities of thought, and thinking-otherwise. Annotation c.
