Acid Horizon Concepts in Focus: Tensors, Black Holes, and the Unconscious in Deleuze and Guattari (pre-episode content)
Jul 18, 2020
In this pre-episode content, the hosts discuss their plans to explore Deleuze and Guattari's work on the unconscious and highlight key aspects such as its materiality and social connection. They also introduce upcoming seminar discussion with Taylor. The speakers present a typology of different unconsciouses and contrast systems of representation in Freudian, Jungian, and Laconian unconscious with Guattari's approach based on semiotic redundancy. They explore Deleuze and Guattari's concept of black holes as traps for subjectivity and discuss how subjectification can be repurposed for escape. They delve into the impact of German language on Kafka's world and explore tensors as a means of surpassing normative tendencies in language. They discuss the concept of delirium, its connection to social investment, and the idea of the social unconscious as a matrix of investments.
