Preface: What is Currere? The Conceptual Powers of Currere The Illusion of Transcendence and the Ontology of Immanence Powers of the False and the Problematics of the Simulacrum Becoming-Nomad Becoming-Music: The Refrain, Rhizome, Improvisation and Instrumentalism Uncertain Games I'm Not There: The Cinematic Time-Image, Cultural Curriculum Studies, and the Political Arts of an Untimely Subject Making a Holey Curriculum: Untimeliness, Unhomeliness and the Schizophrenic Potential of the ANOMAL Strange Contraptions and Queer Machine

This work examines the impoverished image of life presupposed by the legacy of transcendent and representational thinking that continues to frame the limits of curricular thought. Analyzing the ways in which modern institutions colonize desire and overdetermine the life of its subject, this book draws upon the anti-Oedipal philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, revolutionary artistic practice, and an unorthodox curriculum genealogy to rethink the pedagogical project as a task of concept creation for the liberation of life and instantiation of a people yet to come. This book invites academics, artists, and graduate students to engage the contemporary struggles of curriculum theory, educational philosophy, and pedagogical practice with a new set of conceptual tools for thinking radical difference.
