‘The plane of immanence is entirely made up of Light’, Deleuze writes in Cinema 1: The Movement-Image. Engaging the whole body of Deleuze’s work, including less rehearsed texts such as The Actual and the Virtual, Lucretius and the Simulacrum and his lectures on Spinoza, Hanjo Berressem traces the ‘line of light’ that runs through Deleuze’s thought. The focus on the philosophical luminism that suffuses Deleuze’s work delivers a novel reading of Deleuzian philosophy from the perspective of the complementarity of the photon. Berressem reveals a wealth of surprising and brilliant insights for anyone with an interest in Deleuze and in the implications of Deleuze’s philosophical photonics for historiography, literary studies, painting and film.

Hanjo Berressem is Professor of American Studies at the University of Cologne. He is the author of On the Gradual Contraction of Media in Movement (Bloomsbury, 2018), Lines of Desire: Reading Gombrowicz's Fiction with Lacan (Northwestern University Press, 1998) and Pynchon's Poetics: Interfacing Theory and Text (University of Illinois Press, 1992). He is co-editor of Near Encounters: Festschrift for Richard Martin (Peter Lang 1995) and several journal special issues.

Berressem’s provocative reading of Deleuze argues for a single focus from the earliest to the final texts, and in pursuing this argument he offers a number of fresh and perceptive analyses of Deleuze’s principal volumes as well as a number of his secondary essays and interviews. There is a wealth of surprising and brilliant insights here for anyone with an interest in Deleuze’s thought and in contemporary philosophy as a whole.
