Who Would You Kill to Save the World?: https://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/nebraska/9781496234988/who-would-you-kill-to-save-the-world/

Craig sits down with Claire Colebrook to discuss the basics of 'minor becomings' through the concepts of 'becoming-woman' and 'becoming-imperceptible' in the work of Deleuze and Guattari. How do becomings challenge notions of liberal feminism and unsettle the forces that recuperate capitalism? Can there be a 'becoming-man' in the minoritarian sense? What do Deleuze and Guattari's views on becoming mean for the current escalations global crises?
