<big>'''Schizoanalysis'''</big> | |||
Schizoanalysis is an approach to understanding the human mind and society. It aims to analyze the unique ways in which our desires are connected to economic and political aspects of society. It explores how individuals desire things that might lead to their own repression, often involving psychological and social factors. It's about understanding the complex interplay between desire and the larger social context. Instead of simplifying things, schizoanalysis seeks to make them more complex and enriched with processes. It doesn't reduce complex issues; it embraces and explores their intricacies. It's about making things more diverse and varied in terms of their nature and development. Schizoanalysis was developed as a response to the limitations of traditional [[psychoanalysis]] in France. It emerged from work in institutional psychotherapy, where conventional psychoanalytic practices were challenged. Guattari wanted to find new ways of understanding and analyzing subjective structures, particularly for individuals dealing with psychosis. Its is aligned with a materialist viewpoint, which means it focuses on the material, real-world forces at play in the human mind and society. It doesn't merely deal with abstract concepts but looks at how actual forces and elements shape our experiences. In schizoanalysis, desire is seen as a powerful force that brings together different elements or assemblages. These elements are like the building blocks of our experiences and actions. Desire works to connect these elements and create a more potent way of acting or experiencing. Its interested in the idea that people and things are not static or limited. Instead, it explores the potential for change and becoming something different. It views individuals as multifaceted and ever-evolving, capable of transformation. Schizoanalysis uses a rhizomatic approach, which means it looks at systems and connections in a non-linear, interconnected way. It's about seeing how ideas, desires, and actions spread like the roots of a plant, in multiple directions. | |||
'''<big>Body Without Organs (BwO)</big>''' | |||
The BwO is an abstract idea that describes the unregulated potential of a body, which doesn't have to be a human body. This body operates freely without the usual organization or structure imposed on its parts. Deleuze and Guattari believed that the conscious and unconscious fantasies in psychosis and schizophrenia express the potential forms and functions of the body. These expressions demand liberation from the limitations imposed by organization and organs. | |||
There are three types of BwO: | |||
# the empty BwO- chaotic and undifferentiated | |||
2. the full BwO- both destratified and intensified, allowing it to enter new relationships; | |||
3. the cancerous BwO- too stratified and has predetermined objectives. | |||
The concept is rooted in metaphysical ideas about the body, the unconscious in psychoanalysis, and concepts from philosophers like Spinoza and Immanuel [[Kant]]. It's not about fixed and determined activity but about potential and affective cohesion. | |||
To become a BwO, one must break away from stratification (organizing into groups) and embrace an immanent "becoming" of pure intensity. It encourages transformation beyond existing categories. | |||
The most common example used where Bodies without organs can be found is in the experiences of individuals like schizophrenics, drug addicts, and hypochondriacs. These bodies have abandoned stratification but haven't necessarily intensified, which makes them vulnerable to re-stratification. | |||
Some other examples: | |||
A bird's egg represents life before the formation of strata (organizing structures) because it undergoes changes in its elements that result in a new organism. | |||
