Anti-Oedipus

Book • 1972

Author

Félix Guattari

Author

Gilles Deleuze

In 'Anti-Oedipus,' Deleuze and Guattari critique the Freudian/Lacanian psychoanalytic model of the ego, particularly the Oedipus complex.

They argue that human desire is not rooted in familial relationships but in broader socio-political contexts.

The book introduces the concept of 'schizoanalysis,' a method aimed at freeing desire from capitalist and familial repression.

It delves into the relationship between capitalism and schizophrenia, suggesting that capitalism exploits and commodifies desires rather than repressing them.

The authors propose a radical analysis that synthesizes political economy and psychology, introducing concepts such as desiring-machines, deterritorialization, and the body-without-organs.
