1. A User's Guide To Capitalism And Schizophrenia
Deviations from Deleuze and Guattari
A concise, reader-oriented guide to the key concepts and political implications of a major poststructuralist project, clarifying ideas such as desiring-production, deterritorialization, rhizomatic assemblages, and critiques of psychoanalysis and capitalist social formations; it explains how flows of desire and affect produce subjectivities and social machines and outlines possibilities for creative resistance and alternative collective arrangements, translating difficult continental theory into more accessible analyses for students, scholars, and activists.
