About this book

This book examines Gilles Deleuze's ideas about creativity in the context of lifelong learning, offering an original take on this important contemporary topic using cinematic parallels. Discussing Deleuze's difficult notion of 'counter-actualization' as a form of creative practice, it draws practical consequences for those across a diverse sector.

Reviews

“In his book Deleuze and Lifelong Learning, originally a PhD thesis completed at Canterbury Christ Church University, Christian Beighton attempts to offer an ethics of practice. … The book should provide a reference for those interested in a unique or critical lens to reflect on creativity and lifelong learning development. … reading the text chapter by chapter may provide a sense of the inner logic and essence of the author’s thought.” (Yahui Su, Adult Education Quarterly, Vol. 67 (1), February, 2017)
