Machinic Unconscious Happy Hour

This will be part 6 in a series of discussions on Felix Guattari's work. Taylor Adkins & DC (@4Q248) both return to discuss chapter 8 of Felix Guattari's The Machinic Unconscious: Essays in Schizoanalysis and the first half of Gilles Deleuze's Proust and Signs. Taylor actually translated this edition, so we are very lucky to have him share his insights. The discussion has a great dynamic, with DC on his way to becoming a psychoanalyst, and Alfonso Williams (@theoryanalysis) joining the Assemblage as well.
