From the
Green Apple Books Newsletter:
Anti-Oedipus Book Group
Join us for a discussion of the first title of Green Apple's reading group: Anti-Oedipus by philosopher Gilles Deleuze and psychoanalyst Felix Guattari.
Published in 1972, Anti-Oedipus offers a reconceptualization of both the approaches to as well as the vocabulary of contemporary psychoanalytic and philosophic thought.
Predicated upon the rejection of the Freudian Oedipal triangle ("mommy-daddy-me"), Deleuze and Guattari introduce schizoanalysis, their new conceptual apparatus that attempts to account for affective forces beyond the psychoanalytic familial bond: the deterritorialization and reterritorialization of flows, analysis of the social production of desire beyond psychic fantasy, and the structure of capitalism itself.
The group will meet on a bi-weekly basis at the Bitter End on Clement Street between 5th and 6th Avenues at 7pm, beginning in August. To participate or learn more, contact Stephen Sparks (sparks@greenapplebooks.com) or call him at the store for more information. (415-387-2272).
The first meeting is scheduled for August 13 at 7:00 p.m.
