Anti-Oedipus: From Psychoanalysis to Schizoanalysis
Event Information
Description
Freud invented psychoanalysis out of his symptom of the Oedipus Complex, but later questioned its neurotic foundations. Further revisions in psychic structure by Reich and Lacan re-centered psychoanalysis on new ground. In Anti-Oedipus, the first volume of Capitalism and Schizophrenia, Deleuze & Guattari completed the analytic re-orientation of psyche and socius in terms of the schizoid flows of differentiation and integration. Reading like a work of futurism, their efforts to move beyond neurosis and alienation are more crucial today than ever for issues of class, race, and gender. At its 50th anniversary we will re-engage with the power and potential of Anti- Oedipus in the work of a new wave of emergent analysts, and present clinical research from 20 years of psychoanalysis and schizoanalysis at Analytica and New Clinic.
Organizer Analytica
Organizer of Anti-Oedipus: From Psychoanalysis to Schizoanalysis
Analytica is a research and training association linked to the New Clinic, both founded in 2000 by Dr. Scott Von and associates for the production of clinical and theoretical work in integral medicine, psychiatry, psychoanalysis, philosophy, and related fields of the arts and sciences. Analytica is unique in developing a project to produce a clinic and place for medicine and psychiatry to be practiced in conjunction with and as preliminary to pure analysis. We seek to further Freud and Lacan’s project of taking psychoanalysis out of the medical and therapeutic paradigm and into a new form of psychic transformation and social relation. Analytica exists for the production of analysis not for the production of analysts. The question of whether one wants to further one’s professional practice – for example as a doctor, teacher, artist, scientist, or otherwise – with their analytic work is unique to each person. Analytica does not require or provide degrees, licenses, or exams, which are relevant to the university or state of each member. Analytica is concerned with the production of analysis in extension as a form of transmission and transformation of social relations by means of the analytic discourse, and thus it functions as a school, clinic. laboratory, gallery, theatre, and publisher for the production of its members.
