With the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari serving as a vibrant node of immanence, this volume maps a   multiplicity of pathways from Deleuze, Guattari and their theoretical allies  including   Spinoza and Nietzsche  to posthuman thought. As positions that insist,   respectively, on the equal yet distinct powers of mind and body (immanence) and   the urgent need to dismantle human privilege and exceptionality (posthumanism),   each chapter reveals concepts for rethinking established notions of being,   thought, experience, and life.        The authors here take examples from a range of different   media, \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[T]he collection offers an important first step in a discourse ripe for theoretical inquiry, namely Deleuze, Guattari and Posthumanism. These theorists should be applauded for their sustained critique of Humanism and Anthropocentrism. * Rhizomes: Cultural Studies in Emerging Knowledge *\u003cbr\u003eA beautiful, ethically nuanced and radically divergent collection of invigorating contributions to the Deleuzio-Guattarian posthuman arena. This volume makes key concepts and applications relevant, sometimes devastatingly so, to the times in which we live, and in ethically living with these times. * Patricia MacCormack, Professor of Continental Philosophy, ARU, Cambridge, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEmerging from generative precursors of Deleuzian immanence and interconnectivity, this superb collection offers multivalent musings on the theme of posthumanism. Mapping intersecting pathways across philosophy, aesthetics and politics, the essays subvert humanist thinking to reimagine life as an affective force for creative experimentation, diversification and joy\u003c\/i\u003e. * Simone Bignall, Research Professor, Jumbunna Institute, University of Technology Sydney, Australia. *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Posthumanisms   Through Deleuze, \u003ci\u003eChristine Daigle   (Brock University, Canada) and Terrance H.
