Helen Palmer examines the Russian formalist concept of defamiliarisation from a contemporary critical perspective, bringing together new materialist feminisms, experimental linguistic formalism and queer theory.She explores how we might radically restructure this gesture of ''making-strange'' to create a dialogue with the affirmations of ''deviant'', ''errant'', ''alternative'' and ''multiple'' modes of being which have become synonymous with queer theory. Queer theory harnesses the creative potential of indeterminacy in order to celebrate and affirm infinite dimensions of sexuality and gender, creating space for all human beings to express themselves without the classification or judgement of prescriptive terminologies. Linguistic at its source, but going beyond this limit just like defamiliarisation, the liberating force of queer theory is derived from the removal of terminological boundaries. Palmer asks what a 21st-century queer defamiliarisation might look like and examines the extent to which these affirmative or emancipatory discourses escape the paradoxes of normativity or historicisation.

This book is an original exploration of Deleuze''s dynamic philosophies of space, time and language, bringing Deleuze and futurism together for the first time. Helen Palmer investigates both the potential for creative novelty and the pitfalls of formalism within both futurist and Deleuzian linguistic practices. Through creative and rigorous analyses of Russian and Italian futurist manifestos, the ''futurist'' aspects of Deleuze''s language and thought are drawn out. The genre of the futurist manifesto is a literary and linguistic model which can be applied to Deleuze''s work, not only at times when he writes explicitly in the style of a manifesto but also in his earlier writings such as Difference and Repetition (1968) and The Logic of Sense (1969). The way in which avant-garde manifestos often attempt to perform and demand their aims simultaneously, and the problems which arise due to this, is an operation which can be perceived in Deleuze''s writing. With a particular focus on Russian zaum, the book negotiates the philosophy behind futurist ''nonsense'' language and how Deleuze propounds analogous goals in The Logic of Sense. This book critically engages with Deleuze''s poetics, ultimately suggesting that multiple linguistic models operate synecdochically within his philosophy.
