The book "Dark Deleuze. For the death of this world" written by Andrew Culp in 2020 offers a new perspective on Deleuze's work, criticizing the positive and joyful vision that has been created around it. The author explores themes such as hatred for the world and the creation of new concepts through negativity, and criticizes the use that capitalists make of Deleuze's thinking. He proposes questioning connectivity and digital integration as the construction of a homogeneous world. The objective is to break the circuits of communication and destroy the forces that produce reality instead of simply contemplating them, cultivating hatred towards the current world and proposing a dark conspiracy as a way out of class exploitation.

Acknowledging the smattering of articles on "anti-fandom" that existed before its publication, this collection emphasises the crucial importance of studying anti-fandom as a general phenomenon. It covers a range of questions concerning anti-fandom - from the theorisation of an "affective turn", the identity politics of anti-fandom, to the lived experience and public expression of anti-fandom. Instead of exploring anti-fandom from a single case or a single context, this collection valuably addresses the questions of "what is anti-fandom?". [Extracted from the article]
