This workThis edition is the University of Minnesota Press reprint (1983, tenth printing 2000) of the 1977 Viking translation by Robert Hurley, Mark Seem, and Helen R. Lane, originally published in French as L'Anti-Oedipe by Les Éditions de Minuit in 1972. The first volume of Deleuze and Guattari's two-part Capitalism and Schizophrenia project, Anti-Oedipus mounts a sweeping critique of psychoanalytic orthodoxy—especially the Oedipus complex—and argues that desire is fundamentally productive, machinic, and social rather than structured by lack or familial triangulation. The work draws on ethnography, political economy, literature, and clinical psychiatry to theorize "desiring-machines," "the body without organs," and the relationship between capitalist deterritorialization and schizophrenic process, positioning schizoanalysis as both a diagnostic of late capitalism and a practice of revolutionary liberation.
