<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>The Subject of Rosi Braidotti: Politics and Concepts</i> brings into focus the diverse influence of the work of Rosi Braidotti on academic fields in the humanities and the social sciences such as the study and scholarship in - among others - feminist theory, political theory, continental philosophy, philosophy of science and technology, cultural studies, ethnicity and race studies. <br/><br/>Inspired by Braidotti's philosophy of nomadic relations of embodied thought, the volume is a mapping exercise of productive engagements and instructive interactions by a variety of international, outstanding and world-renowned scholars with texts and concepts developed by Braidotti throughout her immense body of work.<br/><br/>In Braidotti's work, traversing themes of engagements emerge of politics and philosophy across generations and continents. Therefore, the edited volume invites prominent scholars at different stages of their careers and from around the world to engage with Braidotti's work in terms of concepts and/or political practice.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"As a writer and a person, Rosi Braidotti encountered some of the most significant intellectual forces of the late twentieth century, including feminism, poststructuralism and posthumanist thought. These encounters were always transformative in both directions, nowhere more so than in her engagements with Deleuze's philosophy. The gust of wind that I first encountered in Paris in 1977 became a whirlwind that swept new ideas and activism across the academic landscape and continues to do so. This volume is a fitting tribute to an extraordinary life and work still underway." --<i>Scientia Professor Paul Patton, University of New South Wales</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Bolette Blaagaard</b> is Assistant Professor of Communications at the Department of Communications and Psychology at Aalborg University, Copenhagen, Denmark, and honorary visiting fellow at the Centre for Law, Justice and Journalism at City University, London. <p/><b>Iris van der Tuin</b> is Associate Professor of Gender Studies and Philosophy of Science in the Graduate Gender Programme of Utrecht University, the Netherlands.</p>
