Table of Contents

Preface by Michel Foucault
Introduction by Mark Seem

1. THE DESIRING-MACHINES

1. Desiring-Production

The schizo's stroll ♦ Nature and industry ♦ The process ♦ Desiring-machine, partial objects and flows: and . . . and . . . ♦ The first synthesis: the connective synthesis or production of production ♦ The production of the body without organs ♦

2. The Body Without Organs

Abti-production ♦ Repulsion and the paranoiac machine ♦ Desiring-production and social production: how anti-production appropriates the productive forces ♦ Appropriation or attraction, and the miraculating-machine—The second synthesis: the disjunctive synthesis or production of recording ♦ Either . . . or . . . ♦ The schizophrenic genealogy ♦

3. The Subject and Enjoyment

The celibate machine ♦ The third synthesis: the conjunctive synthesis or production of consumption-consummation ♦ So it's . . . ♦ Matter, egg, and intensities: I feel ♦ The names in history ♦

4. A Materialist Psychiatry

The unconscious and the category of production ♦ Theater or factory? ♦ The process as production process ♦ The idealist conception of desire as lack (fantasy) ♦ The real and desiring-production: the passive syntheses ♦ One and the same production, social and desiring ♦ The reality of the group fantasy ♦ The differences in regime between desiring-production and social production ♦ The socius and the body without organs ♦ Capitalism, and schizophrenia as its limit (the counteracted tendency) ♦ Neurosis, psychosis, and perversion ♦

5. The Machines

Desiring-machines are machines, no metaphor ♦ The first mode of break: flows and selection from flows ♦ The second mode: chains or codes, and detachments from them ♦ The third mode: subject and residue ♦

6. The Whole and Its Parts

The status of multiplicities ♦ The partial objects ♦ The critique of Oedipus, the Oedipal mystification ♦ Already the child . . . ♦ The orphan-conscious ♦ What is wrong with psychoanalysis? ♦

2. PSYCHOANALYSIS AND FAMILIALISM: THE HOLY FAMILY

1. The Imperialism of Oedipus

Its modes ♦ The Oedipal turning-point in psychoanalysis ♦ Desiring-production and representation ♦ The abandonment of the desiring-machines ♦

2. Three texts of Freud

Oedipalization ♦ The flattening-out of Judge Schreber's delirium ♦ How pyschoanalysis is still pious ♦ The ideology of lack: castration ♦ Every fantasy is collective ♦ The libido as flow ♦ The rebellion of the flows ♦

3. The Connective Synthesis of Production

Its two uses, global and specific, partial and non-specific ♦ The family and the couple, filiation and alliance: triangulation ♦ The triangulation's cause ♦ The first paralogism of psychoanalysis: extrapolation ♦ The transcendent use and the immanent use ♦

4. The Disjunctive Synthesis of Recording

Its two uses, exclusive and restrictive, inclusive, and nonrestrictive ♦ The inclusive disjunctions: genealogy ♦ The exclusive differentiations and the nondifferentiated ♦ The second paralogism of psychoanalysis: the Oedipal double-bind ♦ Oedipus wins at every turn ♦ Does the borderline pass between the Symbolic and the Imaginary?

5. The Conjunctive Synthesis of Consumption-Consummation

Its two uses, segregative and biunivocal, nomadic and polyvocal ♦ The body without organs and intensities ♦ Voyages, passages: I am becoming ♦ Every delirium is social, historical and political ♦ Races ♦ The meaning of identification ♦ How psychoanalysis suppresses sociopolitical content ♦ An unrepentant familialism ♦ The family and the social field ♦ Desiring-production and the investment of social production ♦ From childhood ♦ The third paralogism of psychoanalysis: Oedipus as a biunivocal "application" ♦ The disgrace of psychoanalysis with regard to history ♦ Desire and the infrastructure ♦ Segregation and nomadism ♦

6. A Recapitulation of the Three Syntheses

Oedipus would make fools of us all ♦ Oedipus and "belief" ♦ Meaning is use ♦ The immanent criteria of desiring-production ♦ Desire knows nothing of the law, lack, and the signifier ♦ "Were you born Hamlet . . . ? ♦

7. Social Repression and Psychic Repression

The law ♦ The fourth paralogism of psychoanalysis: the displacement, or the disfiguration of the repressed ♦ Desire is revolutionary ♦ The delegated agent of psychic repression ♦ It is not psychoanalysis that invents Oedipus ♦

8. Neurosis and Psychosis

Reality ♦ The inverse relation ♦ "Undecidable" Oedipus: resonance ♦ The meaning of actual factors ♦ The fifth paralogism of psychoanalysis: the afterward ♦ The actuality of desiring-production ♦

9. The Process

Leaving ♦ The painter Turner ♦ The interruptions of the process: neurosis, psychosis, and perversion ♦ The movement of deterritorialization and territorialities ♦

3. SAVAGES, BARBARIANS, CIVILIZED MEN

2. The Primitive Territorial Machine

The full body of the earth ♦ Filiation and alliance: their irreducibility ♦ The village pervert and local groups ♦ Filiative stock and blocks of alliance debt ♦ Functional disequilibrium: surplus value of code ♦ It only works by breaking down ♦ The segmentary machine ♦ The great fear of decoded flows ♦ Death which rises from within, but comes from without ♦

3. The Problem of Oedipus

Incest ♦ The inclusive disjunctions on the full body of the earth ♦ From intensities to extension: the sign ♦ In what sense incest is impossible ♦ The limit ♦ The conditions of coding ♦ The in-depth elements of representation: the repressed representative, the repressing representation, the displaced represented ♦

4. Psychoanalysis and Ethnology

Continuation of the Oedipal problem ♦ A process of treatment in Africa ♦ The conditions of Oedipus and colonization ♦ Oedipus and ethnocide ♦ Those who oedipalize don't know what they're doing ♦ On what is psychic repression brought to bear? ♦ Culturalists and universalists: their common postulates ♦ In what sense Oedipus is indeed universal: the five meanings of limit, Oedipus as one of them ♦ Use, or functionalism in ethnology ♦ The desiring-machines do not mean anything ♦ Molar and molecular ♦

5. Territorial Representation

Its surface elements ♦ Debts and exchange ♦ The five postulates of the exchangist conception ♦ Voice, graphism, and eye: the theater of cruelty ♦ Nietzsche ♦ The death of the territorial system ♦
