Deleuze and Guattari's twin volumes, Capitalism and Schizophrenia, have often generated questions about desire, bodies without organs, and schizophrenia, but very few scholars have studied the numerous political problems these intellectuals attempt to resolve through their analyses of concepts such as de-/re-territorialization, coding and re-coding, and others. In other words, the specter Karl Marx, which haunts the work of Deleuze and Guattari, has yet to be explored and debated.
This volume analyzes the relationship between Deleuze, Guattari, and Marx in their respective works. Constituting an intervention into the fields of Deleuze studies, Marxist and Marxian philosophy, political economy, and critiques of capitalism, this volume addresses such themes as hegemony and theories of imperialism, the role of philosophy in changing the world, surplus, tensions between the virtual and the potential, ideology and noology, modes of production, and the very nature of anti-capitalist politics in Deleuze's work.
The collection will interest scholars of Deleuze who study questions of politics and critiques of capitalism, Marxist theory, and philosophy, as well as those focused on questions of political economy.
