Book Reviews of Deleuze: The Clamor of Being
Book Review: An important text but not about Deleuze
Summary: 4 Stars
In the 1970s Harold Bloom focused on poetic misprision. This is the intentional or unconscious misunderstanding of a master, poetic or philosophical, who has occupied so much ground that s/he must be distorted in order to create a space for the follower. This distortion, named in the most basic form (after Lucretius) clinamen -- the swerve -- misrepresents the parent text, allowing the subsequent to proclaim a mastery over the parodic picture presented as the original. While Badiou is very important, smart, and interesting in his own right, this re-packaging of Deleuze is a projection of his own program's need for "Lebensraum." While Badiou does not give us Deleuze's own letters to him (perhaps out of "respect"?), he usually quotes D out of context and by leaping from work to work to create a pastiche of the Deleuze he wishes to construct. Even the bit used for his title -- the clamor of being - is only part of the sentence without its modification and ripped from a two page paragraph. All this is interesting but not high fidelity: read it like an Oedipal assault or like Griswold's treatment of Poe. However, I do not think it is a fair, accurate, or even valid treatment of Deleuze.
