"Bringing together Deleuze, Blanchot, and Foucault, this book provides a detailed and original exploration of the ideas that influenced Deleuze's thought leading up to and throughout his cinema volumes and, as a result, proposes a new definition of art. Examining Blanchot's suggestion that art is "outside" of power, as imagination has neither rules nor truth, and Foucault s theory that power forms knowledge by valuing life, Eugene B. Young relates these to both Deleuze s theories of cinematic time and his work with Guattari on art. In doing so, he uses case studies from popular film and literature, such as American Psycho, Black Swan, and Inception. Providing important new insights for those working in literary and cinematic theory, this book advances a new definition of art as that which eclipses the totalizing effects of power to express obscure ideas and values that are foreign to the world as we know it."--
