Books by Gary Genosko

Offers an original analysis of the role of journals in the institutionalization of critical and cultural theory in Canada and the USA.

In this major new work, Gary Genosko, the world's leading English interpreter of Guattari, offers critical methodological reflections and applications that bring to life Guattari's thought in contemporary social contexts. The volume explores his collaborations with Deleuze and Negri, and brings into focus his friendship with Franco Bifo Berardi.

This assessment of the life and work of Felix Guattari, one of the 20th century's last great activist-intellectuals, introduces the reader to the diversity and range of Guattari's interests, from anti-psychiatry to Japanese culture, political activism and his theorizing of subjectification.

In McLuhan and Baudrillard, Gary Genosko traces McLuhan's influence on one of the most famous gurus of the cultural theory - the French postmodernist thinker, Jean Baudrillard

Providing a dynamic, forward-looking reorientation towards a new universe of reference, Remodelling Communication makes a significant, productive contribution to communication theory.

Argues that the vital questions in social theory are interdisciplinary. The work contains rigorous analyses of the writings of Baudrillard, Deleuze, Guattari, McLuhan, Freud and St Augustine, showing the way to credible forms of undisciplined theory.

This is an introduction to the thought of the radical French thinker Felix Guattari.*BR**BR*Guattari's main works were published in the 1970s and 1980s. His background was in psychoanalysis -- he was trained by Lacan and he practised as a psychoanalyst for much of his life. He developed a distinctive psychoanalytic method informed always by his revolutionary politics.*BR**BR*Guattari was actively involved in numerous political movements, from Trotskyism to Autonomism, tackling ecological and sexual politics along the way. A true believer in collectivity, much of his work was written in collaboration, most famously with Gilles Deleuze.*BR**BR*This is also an introduction to key concepts such as schizoanalysis, transversality, a-signifying semiotics and various kinds of machine.

'Genosko's book addresses "the semiotic problem" in Baudrillard's work and provides a discussion of its development in relation to semiology, structuralism and poststructuralism .. interesting and informative.' - B Smart, Auckland University
