Schizoanalysis and desire in Deleuze and Guattari

Schizoanalysis is a materialist psychiatry that appeared as a consequence of the project of Capitalism and Schizophrenia that was started in 1972 by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. It basically considers the relation between capitalism and psychoanalysis from a critical point of view. Schizoanalysis is mainly seen in the intellectual and political milieu created by 68 events in France. In terms of its general outlook, schizoanalysis argues that psychoanalysis is an invention of capitalist power. In this study, through the elaboration of Deleuze and Guattari?s work, the main concern is the schizoanalytical critique of capitalist power through the notion of desire.Keywords: Schizoanalysis, Psychoanalysis, Desire, Power, Capitalism.
