Description

Combines contemporary scholarship on children’s literature with Deleuzian concepts to reinvigorate readings of children’s literatureReads children’s literature from a Deleuzian perspectiveLooks in depth at Deleuze’s own children’s book with Jacqueline Duhême, L'oiseau philosophie (The Bird Philosophy)Includes chapters on central Deleuzian concepts: pure repetition, becoming, cartographies, stuttering and nonsenseJane Newland explores how Deleuzian concepts can enhance and invigorate our readings of children's literature, whose implied readership masks much paradox. She focuses on children’s texts by some of the authors who fascinate Deleuze, including Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Lewis Carroll, André Dhôtel, Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio and Michel Tournier. These authors recur across Deleuze’s work and shaped his literary writings.
