Book synopsis

Anticipating the decentralised forms of political activism that have become increasingly evident around the world since the events of Seattle in 1995, Lines of Flight offers an exciting and accessible introduction to the often difficult thinking of Felix Guattari, the analyst, philosopher and militant. Providing a detailed and clearly documented account of his micropolitical critique of psychoanalytic, semiological and linguistic accounts of meaning and subjectivity, this comprehensive work offers an astonishingly fresh set of conceptual tools for imaginative and engaged thinking about capitalism and effective forms of resistance to it. An editorial introduction by Andrew Goffey, the translator, situates the text in relation to the work of CERFI, the interdisciplinary research group with which Guattari worked since the 1960s; Guattari's own concerns (as evidenced in the IMEC archive of his papers in Normandy); his work with Deleuze - and the 'Guattari effect' this makes manifest; and some of the social, political and cultural concerns arising in France at the start of what Guattari would later call the 'winter years'.
