Thought and Image (Deleuze Cinema)

Iconophobic Jewish Philosophy
I’ll do without mentioning any names here at the blog, because it’s not a nice thing to have posted to one’s name forever online. Complete citations will go in the book. For now I’d like to point out some basic fault lines … Continue reading
