Preferred term

Gilles Deleuze  

Definition

  • After a career as a relatively conventional historian of philosophy at the Sorbonne and in Lyon, Deleuze was among the first prominent academics to respond at a conceptual level to the impact of the student and workers' uprising of May 1968. He moved to the University of Vincennes, Paris in 1969 and took the lead in trying to tie together work in philosophy, politics, psychoanalysis and literature. [Source: The SAGE Dictionary of Sociology; Deleuze, Gilles (1925–95)]
