Foucault's suggestion that this century would become known as "Deleuzian," was considered by Deleuze himself to be a joke "meant to make people who like us laugh, and make everyone else livid." Whether serious or not, this prediction has had enough of an impact to raise concerns about the potential deification of this enormously influential French philosopher. Warning against any tendency toward hagiography, especially as exemplified in the many special issues of Anglo-American journals devoted to Deleuze since his death, editor Ian Buchanan has assembled a collection of essays that constitute a critical engagement with Deleuze—not a fanzine.The contributors to this special issue include some of the most prominent American, Australian, British, and French scholars and translators of Deleuze's work, such as Ronald Bogue, Andre Pierre Colombat, and Tom Conley. A Deleuzian Century? also features Fredric Jameson's analysis of "Marxism and Dualism in Deleuze" as well as other essays that, in ranging from film, television, art, and literature to philosophy, psychoanlysis, geology, and cultural studies, reflect the wide interests of Deleuze himself.
