Deleuze and Guattari's " schizoanalysis" is a militant social and political analysis that responds to what they see as the reactionary tendencies of psychoanalysis. [6] It proposes a functional evaluation of the direct investments of desire—whether revolutionary or reactionary—in a field that is social, biological, historical, and geographical. [7] The philosopher Manuel DeLanda, in A New Philosophy of Society (2006), adopts Deleuze's theory of assemblages, taken from A Thousand Plateaus. [23] See also [ edit ] Sellar, Sam (2015). "A Strange Craving to be Motivated: Schizoanalysis, Human Capital and Education". Deleuze Studies. 9 (3): 424–436 . Retrieved 2022-07-03. Schizopanalysis conceives of desire as a productive force that constitutes subjects from multiplicity. [...] [D&G] see the process of decoding, which frees desiring-production from its representational territories, as a positive development[.]

Schizoanalysis

The sociologist John Urry sees Deleuze and Guattari's metaphor of the nomad as having "infected contemporary social thought." [22] The authors posit that dramatic reterritorialization often follows relative deterritorialization, while absolute deterritorialization is just that... absolute deterritorialization without any reterritorialization.

Guattari, speaking in 1974, stressed the genealogical continuity of contemporary fascism with its historical manifestations and precursors: "Thus, we see that the analysis of the molecular components of fascism can deal with quite a variety of areas. It is the same fascism under different forms which continues to operate in the family, in school, or in a trade union. A struggle against the modern forms of totalitarianism can be organized only if we are prepared to recognize the continuity of this machine" (1995, 234-235). Anti-Oedipus became a sensation upon publication and a widely celebrated work that created shifts in contemporary philosophy. It is seen as a key text in the "micropolitics of desire", alongside Lyotard's Libidinal Economy. It has been credited with devastating Lacanianism due to its unorthodox criticism of the movement. Universes of reference (value): virtual incorporeal enunciative alterifications (qv., complexes and sublimation) [27] Are there any commentaries or "read-through" like for Spinoza ? All the content I find only is as obscure if not more.

Capitalism and the political economy of desire

The astonishing thing is not that some people steal or that others occasionally go out on strike, but rather that all those who are starving do not steal as a regular practice, and all those who are exploited are not continually out on strike: after centuries of exploitation, why do people still tolerate being humiliated and enslaved, to such a point, indeed, that they actually want humiliation and slavery not only for others but for themselves?"

Deleuze and Guattari's concept of sexuality is not limited to the interaction of male and female gender roles, but instead posits a multiplicity of flows that a "hundred thousand" desiring-machines create within their connected universe; Deleuze and Guattari contrast this "non-human, molecular sexuality" to "molar" binary sexuality: "making love is not just becoming as one, or even two, but becoming as a hundred thousand," they write, adding that "we always make love with worlds." [22] Reframing the Oedipal complex [ ]

The family is the agent to which capitalist production delegates the psychological repression of the desires of the child. [37] Psychological repression is distinguished from social oppression insofar as it works unconsciously. [38] Through it, Deleuze and Guattari argue, parents transmit their angst and irrational fears to their child and bind the child's sexual desires to feelings of shame and guilt. Psychological repression is strongly linked with social oppression, which levers on it. It is thanks to psychological repression that individuals are transformed into docile servants of social repression who come to desire self-repression and who accept a miserable life as employees for capitalism. [39] A capitalist society needs a powerful tool to counteract the explosive force of desire, which has the potential to threaten its structures of exploitation, servitude, and hierarchy; the nuclear family is precisely the powerful tool able to counteract those forces.

ISBN 978-1-107-64379-6.Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia ( French: Capitalisme et schizophrénie. L'anti-Œdipe) is a 1972 book by French authors Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, the former a philosopher and the latter a psychoanalyst. It is the first volume of their collaborative work Capitalism and Schizophrenia, the second being A Thousand Plateaus (1980). Gaming and electronic literature expert Espen Aarseth draws parallels between Deleuze and Guattari's idea of the rhizome and semiotician Umberto Eco's idea of the net. [19] Unconscious libidinal investments of desire coexist without necessarily coinciding with preconscious investments made according to the needs or ideological interests of the subject (individual or collective) who desires.
