The Context of this Reading Group Workshop series on Anti-Oedipus
-
We find Slavoj Zizek writing in his Organs without Bodies of '...the inner tension of Deleuze's thought between Anti-Oedipus and The Logic of Sense, between the Deleuze who celebrated the productive multitude of Becoming against the reified order of being and the Deleuze of the sterility of the incoroporeal of the Sense-Event.' (p. xi) Zizek favours the latter Deleuze. In Alain Badiou's Deleuze: The Clamour of Being, tackled by this research group last Autumn, we find that the two volumes of Capitalism and Schizophrenia are neglected. With Guattari's role and its value downplayed by such readers of Deleuze the time seems ripe for a re-assessment of, and re-engagement with, the first collaboration of Deleuze and Guattari. Does it provide satisfying answers to the philosophical questions and problems that Zizek and Badiou emphasise? Should it provide such answers? These and other questions will be posed over the six weeks of the Reading Group Workshops.
