Thomas Lamarre teaches East Asian studies, art history, and communication studies at McGill University.
“Combining superb scholarship, a palpable passion for his subject,
and a singular sensibility for the art of the moving image, Thomas
Lamarre has produced a landmark work in cultural theory and media
history. The Anime Machine navigates the intercultural and
transmedia complexities of the worlds of anime with expertise and
originality. Everyone from the anime enthusiast to the philosopher
will come away with a heightened appreciation of one of the
defining art forms of our era.” —Brian Massumi, author of Parables
for the Virtual
“With the help of thinkers such as Deleuze and Guattari, Thomas
Lamarre identifies in anime an originary machinic force, one that
traverses both animation and cinema, with a capacity for
heteropoeisis through technological practices. This is an
inspiringly sophisticated and imaginative book.” —Rey Chow, author
of Sentimental Fabulations, Contemporary Chinese Films
