SOFT SUBVERSIONS

By Félix Guattari

Edited by Sylvère Lotringer
Translated by David L. Sweet and Chet Wiener


This collection of Felix Guattari’s essays, lectures, and interviews traces the militant anti-psychiatrist and theorist’s thought and activity throughout the 1980s ("the winter years"). Concepts such as "micropolitics," "schizoanalysis," and "becoming-woman" open up new horizons for political and creative resistance in the "postmedia era." Guattari’s energetic analyses of art, cinema, youth culture, economics, and power formations introduce a radically inventive thought process engaged in liberating subjectivity from the standardizing and homogenizing processes of global capitalism.
