Felix Guattari by Gary Genosko

This is the first detailed assessment of the life and work of Felix Guattari--Mr. Anti as the French press labelled him--the friend of and collaborator with Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Lacan and Antonio Negri, and one of the 20th Century's last great activist-intellectuals. Guattari is widely known for his celebrated writings with Deleuze, but these writings do not represent the true breadth and impact of his thinking, writing and activism. Guattari's major work as a clinical and theoretical innovator in psychoanalysis was closely linked to his participation in struggles against European right-wing politics. Felix Guattari introduces the reader to the diversity and sheer range of Guattari's interests, from anti-psychiatry, to Japanese culture, political activism and his theorizing of subjectification.Highlighting why Guattari's work is of increasing relevance to contemporary political, psychoanalytical and philosophical thought, Felix Guattari: An Aberrant Introduction presents the reader with an adventurous and provocative introduction to this radical thinker.
"The first comprehensive introduction to the thought of Felix Guattari to appear in any language, by the world's foremost expert on his workGenosko skillfully presents the semiotic, psychiatric, and political underpinnings of Guattari's philosophy and activism. A most helpful initiation for new Guattari readers, and an indispensable companion volume for those already familiar with his writing." Brian Massumi
