C.olin Gardner

Beckett, Deleuze and the Televisual Event

Peephole Art

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

An expressive dialogue between Deleuze's philosophical writings on cinema and Beckett's innovative film and television work, the book explores the relationship between the birth of the event - itself a simultaneous invention and erasure - and Beckett's attempts to create an incommensurable space within the interstices of language as a (W)hole.
