Anti-Oedipus (plateau/references)

In 'Anti-Oedipus', Deleuze and Guattari present schizoanalysis as an alternative to Freudian-Oedipal models, arguing desire is productive, social, and embedded in assemblages rather than centered on familial lack.

They critique psychoanalytic reductionism and capitalist subject formation, introducing concepts like desiring-machines, deterritorialization, and micropolitics.

The book rethinks repression, libidinal investments, and social production of subjectivity, influencing poststructuralist thought and radical political theory.

It is paired with 'A Thousand Plateaus' to form their two-volume 'Capitalism and Schizophrenia' project.
