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.
