Rezensionen

"There may be no more pressing matter for the emerging world of 21^st century capitalism than the question of addiction. Up until now, the current array of theoretical formulations for addiction as a concept and social set of practices, both remediative and explanatory, have been of limited utility. This volume offers an innovative and convincing intervention into how we might think of addiction as an integral aspect of contemporary capitalist logic and as a way of understanding emerging modes of alternative engagements that may offer new worlds and new peoples. Utilizing Deleuzo-Guattarian schizoanalytics the book offers both overdue new methodological tactics of inquiry as well as introducing addiction as a social configuration rather than an individual pathology. The proposals for new forms of sociality and subjectivity offer life affirming alternatives to the death drive of late stage capitalism."- Hans Skott-Myhre, Professor of Human Services, Kennesaw State University, USA
