It charts Deleuze's corpus according to aesthetic concepts such as the map, the sketch and the drawing to bring out a comprehensive concept of the diagram.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘A  magnificent treatment of the relation of the diagram to what Deleuze calls le devenir: For Zdebik the diagram, like the fold, is a  creative function that shapes the entirety of the philosopher's writing.It is a hybrid machine, an amphibious device,  an elastic mechanism in which geography and anatomy, like art and science or  form and force, are of the same order.Zdebik offers a clear, compelling, indeed dazzling reading of a body of  work integral to what John Bender and Michael Marrinan have astutely called the  culture of diagram.Thanks to this book we can now see how and  why Deleuze excels in areas that extend from philosophy to cinema, from geology  to biology, from literature to topology, and from painting to poetry. The  author brings us a rich, sensuous, and decisive contribution that stands high  and strong in the industry of Deleuze studies.' -- Tom Conley, Abbot Lawrence Lowell Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies  and of Romance Languages and Literatures, Harvard University, USA.\u003cbr\u003e‘Finally, a book has arrived that brilliantly delineates how  the diagram indirectly reveals the untraceable, yet mappable, philosophical  system of Deleuze and Guattari. Zdebik delicately explains the diagram's  dynamism, productive constraints, and its abstract and material dimensions.Drawing on a philosophical lineage stretching  from Kant to Heidegger, Foucault and Simondon, as well as examples from natural  history, architecture, and contemporary art, the diagram's hybridity and,  ultimately, its carnality for Deleuze in his study of Francis Bacon, is  masterfully displayed. This is a bold work of transdisciplinary scope that  rightfully places the diagrammatic at the core of Deleuzean philosophy.' -- Gary Genosko, Professor and Canada Research Chair, Lakehead University, Canada\u003cbr\u003e‘Zdebik's  book fills handsomely a glaring gap in the literature on diagrammatic thinking  in general and the role the diagram plays in Gilles Deleuze's ontology and  aesthetics. It is thoughtful, well written, informative and will be of immense  interest to those who want to understand the recent prominence of diagrammatic  thinking and the way in which it rivals semiotic thinking. It will also show  Deleuze scholars how exactly the diagram—a concept at the center of Deleuze's  work—was meant to work.' -- Constantin V.
