Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on contemporary masculinity, the book employs Deleuze's theories to explore its dynamics and impacts. It pragmatically organizes discussions around key Deleuzian concepts, presenting case studies from popular culture and various disciplines influenced by Deleuze. The author highlights how concepts like affect and assemblage enhance the foundational idea of performativity in gender studies. By analyzing Deleuze and Guattari's work on the psychoanalytic boy, particularly through Little Hans, the author reexamines young masculinity's politics, informed by her own fieldwork.
