Description
Book SynopsisProvides an account of 'practising', its mechanisms and implications, in conversation with Deleuze's Difference and Repetition.
Trade Review"Antonia Pont's achievement in this book is difficult to quickly summarise. This is a thinking-through practicing, displaying an extremely sensitivity to its manifold complexities; a meticulous, illuminating and fresh working-through of Gilles Deleuze's baroque philosophy of time; a consideration of rest and posture, injury and pain in their proper texture Pont does not simply reconstruct that familiar bridge between the clich of blind practice and sovereign, panoptic philosophy. In place of application, this astonishing book instead presents a weaving, an intertwining, in the course of which the discrete places of philosophy and practice are themselves undone and redone over and over again, their original names lost in the difficult joy of their ceaseless transformation." -Jon Roffe, Melbourne School of Continental Philosophy
