This issue of new formations reflects on the 'turn to Deleuze' in the English-speaking world in recent years (looking in particular, but not exclusively, at his work with Felix Guattari). The writings of Deleuze and Guattari can be seen as natural resources and allies for those working in the tradition of cultural studies - in their efforts to delineate a fully materialist ontology and a fully social and political theory of the psychic, and to give expression to a politics which is at once libertarian and radically collectivist in its orientation; and in the radical and militant interdisciplinarity which is characteric of their work. The essays in this volume represent a range of work that demonstrates, and occasionally questions, the usefulness of Deleuzian ideas for addressing key cultural theoretical questions in novel and politically productive ways. The issue includes an extensive critical review of the work of Deleuze by Jeremy Gilbert, and a round-table discussion between four leading commentators on 'Deleuzian politics'.
