Deleuze and Guattari Quarantine Collective

Now, let us discuss the first synthesis through the eyes of Oedipus, and allow the critique to begin. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is not about anything critical theory. It's been a year since we started this whole thing, and we wanted to take a minute to talk about that journey and some good moments. It's been wild. Thank you all for helping us get here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

So. Freud. I know you're as excited as we were, which is fine because we dove deep into his texts, the meanings, and a lot more when it comes to the man who 'found' Oedipus. In this section D&G outline their reasons for involving psychoanalysis and the geneology of how they got here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Why Oedipus? Why be Anti-Oedipus with all that is wrong with things? The authors dive right in to explaining how Oedipus itself is an imperialist and fascistic thing - that the very nature of representation as Oedipus exists to create itself. Hosted on Acast.

Have you brushed up on your Proust? Here we dive into a good amount of it, as the authors start down the path of trying to describe how to move from the traditional 'many' versus 'one' and instead think of all things as both the whole, as well as its part.

Where does repression get created, how do we interact with it, and how does it change who we are? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What makes us unique is we don't go into these things having discussed before hand. Everyone ahs their take. You get to join us as we hash through thoughts and differences. This one starts rough. I'll admit. But we end so well. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In The Machines we break down the first level of what the machines are, and we disabouse anyone of the notion that they are virtual, an allegory, or a metaphor. This shit is real. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In Chapter 1.4, the critiques of those who came before is out in full force. First, they come out swinging at Freud (shocker I know) but then Klein takes a few hits and then Lacan. Et Tu, Guattari?The big points here? How repression takes hold and the actual palce that Neurosis, Psychosis and more actually come from. Hint - it's not from you. Hosted on Acast.

Before we dive into Chapters 3 & 4, we wanted to cover anything left over. And there is a lot. This was basically run like a huge Ask-us-Anything, and we did our best to take on all the questions we got. No questions was stupid. It was wonderful. Hosted on Acast.
