Synopsis

In this groundbreaking work, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari challenge conventional psychoanalysis, redefining the unconscious not as a stage for familial dramas but as a dynamic "desiring-machine." They argue that the Oedipus complex has mistakenly confined the revolutionary power of desire within the family unit. Through "schizoanalysis," the authors explore how these desiring-machines operate within social and historical contexts, aiming to liberate the unconscious and offer a radical new understanding of schizophrenia.
