Beskrivning
Hanjo Berressem establishes the notion of a schizoanalytic ecology as the most consistent conceptual spine of Felix Guattari's work. To look at a situation ecologically means to analyze and administer it with the practical aim of creating a space in which it is possible to actualize viable modes of life. To create a multiplicitous, open and elastic milieu that is conducive to processes of both individuation and singularization.Berressem covers the whole range of Guattari's solo work, as well as the books co-authored with Gilles Deleuze. But the core of his argument is developed by a comprehensive explication and analysis of Guattari's Schizoanalytic Cartographies. This reveals an ecological ontology, developed out of key concepts such as the informal diagram, the abstract machine and transversality, that is based on the conceptual complementarity of the world (the given) and its creatures (the giving).

Recensioner i media

This volume is a demanding but very rewarding reading of Félix Guattari’s multifaceted schizoanalytic thought—a unique and timely enrichment, in its scope and comprehensiveness, to the growing interpretive and critical literature surrounding the work of the La Borde clinic analyst and activist. Hanjo Berressem, having chosen Schizoanalytic Cartographies as his text-key to the explication of the entire work of Guattari, shows convincingly that analysis, philosophy, activism, as well as art and cultural criticism are different versions of Guattari’s ecology and explores fruitfully Guattari’s question, how to be adequate to the world, that is, how to develop an overall ecological attitude that would permeate every moment of our lives.
