Critique of Oedipal Desire
- Deleuze and Guattari critique psychoanalysis for reducing all desire to the Oedipal family structure.
- They seek to expand the concept of desire as a productive multiplicity beyond psychoanalytic limits.
Desire as Production, Not Lack
- Desire is conceived by Deleuze and Guattari as productive and explosive, demolishing existing social orders.
- This contrasts psychoanalysis's view of desire as stemming from a lack.
