What does contemporary French poetry do to the subject? This book examines the means and effects of the subject's transmutation into various processes of (de-)subjectivation by looking at the works of four contemporary writers: Christian Prigent, Dominique Fourcade, Olivier Cadiot and Hubert Lucot. The author explores their work in the context of Gilles Deleuze's philosophy, building a critical apparatus - a 'poetics of becoming' - that informs close readings of poems and prose. Moving beyond established criteria of classical literary criticism, the book both offers a comparative discussion of Deleuze's notions of literature and provides new insights into French writing, addressing the political dimension of contemporary poetry from the perspective of current theoretical radicalism.

Jérôme Game is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Film Studies at the American University of Paris and Associate Researcher at Université Paris 8 and the Ecole Normale Supérieure-Lettres et Sciences Humaines. After receiving his PhD in French from the University of Cambridge, he spent two years as Andrew W. Mellon Post-Doctoral Fellow at University College London. He is the editor of the volumes Porous Boundaries: Texts and Images in Twentieth-Century French Culture (2007), Jacques Rancière : Politique de l'esthétique (2009), Images des corps/Corps des images au cinéma (2010) and Le Récit aujourd'hui : Art et littérature (2011).

«Game's book is wholly original and well-argued, and a rich source of ideas for any scholar in the field. It should also be of interest to a public curious about sources of recent developments in French writing.» (Nathalie Wourm, French Forum 37, 2012/3)
