Anti-Oedipus I: Logic of Flows, Lecture 5, 25 January 1972

<p><em>The Deleuze Seminars</em> is a collection of audio recordings, transcriptions, and English translations of, and supplemental materials from, the lectures French philosopher Gilles Deleuze gave during his career at the University of Paris 8.</p>

<p>During his first year at Vincennes, where Deleuze began in fall 1970, he taught two seminars, back-to-back in the same three-hour weekly sessions, one titled “Logic and Desire”, the other titled “Spinoza’s Logic” (with no documents on either currently available). Hence, the first transcripts available correspond to Deleuze’s second year at Vincennes as he continues to expand the concepts developed for <em>Anti-Oedipus </em>(published in March 1972) but also with the long view of the second volume, <em>A Thousand Plateaus</em>, in progress with Félix Guattari. Focusing on this forthcoming book, Deleuze with Guattari develop only one text for publication corresponding directly to the seminar, their first jointly published essay titled “La synthèse disjonctive”, in the journal <em>L’Arc</em> 43 (1970), an issued dedicated to Pierre Klossowski.</p>

<p>In session 5, 25 January 1972, in yet another fragmentary session, Deleuze again mainly responds to students’ questions, first, regarding contrasts between community psychiatry versus institutional analysis, which includes group psychotherapy, shifting the focus briefly to reflect on which writers present a perverted text (Raymond Roussel, who invents a territoriality and group) versus a psychotic text (Antonin Artaud). Deleuze sidesteps another query about what authentic reterritorialization would be, asking instead whether deterritorialization might create a new earth, the transcript omitting his complete response. To another student who seems to see “the real as sexed”, Deleuze responds in agreement but also opens this possibility to bisexuality. To a proposal that one can still think difference as life and death, as real otherness, Deleuze considers the death drive as a Freudian trick, but he also argues that one would need to discuss the relationship of death and desiring machines. Ultimately Deleuze interprets the various student comments as agreeing with his own, i.e., desexualization as the operation whereby some portion of the libido is desexualized and moves over to the death drive, hence a middle term through which the libido passes while moving toward other investments. The session’s fragmentary nature is confirmed as it ends in mid-sentence with a student speaking.</p>

<p>No recording of this session is available currently. The original French transcript provided here, in Open Data Text (odt) format, is from the WeDeleuze site, also with the revised French transcription and new English translation in odt format. [WebDeleuze was founded by Richard Pinhas -- a student in Deleuze's seminars -- who, with the Deleuze family's support, developed transcripts and translations of many of the seminars.]</p>

<p>Les Séminaires de Deleuze sont une collection d'enregistrements audio, de transcriptions et de traductions en anglais et de documents complémentaires des conférences que le philosophe français Gilles Deleuze a donné lors de sa carrière à l'Université de Paris 8.</p>

<p>Cette séance 5, le 25 janvier 1972, est toujours fragmentaire s’adressant à la schizo-analyse psychanalytique, et faisant donc implicitement référence à la deuxième et à la quatrième section de <em>l’Anti-Œdipe</em>. Deleuze interprète les différents commentaires des étudiants comme concordant avec ses perspectives, à savoir la désexualisation comme l’opération par laquelle une partie de la libido se désexualise et passe à la pulsion de mort, d’où un terme moyen par lequel la libido passe en se dirigeant vers d’autres investissements. Le caractère fragmentaire de la séance se confirme puisqu’elle se termine en pleine phrase par la prise de parole d’un étudiant.</p>

<p>《德勒兹研讨会文集》（*The Deleuze Seminars*）是法国哲学家吉尔·德勒兹（Gilles Deleuze）在巴黎第八大学（University of Paris 8）任教期间所做讲座的音频录音、转录文本、英译本及补充材料合集。</p><p>1970年秋，德勒兹在万塞纳开启教职的第一年，每周开设两场连续的三小时研讨会，分别题为《逻辑与欲望》与《斯宾诺莎的逻辑》，目前两场均无留存文献。因此，目前可获取的首批转录文本对应德勒兹在万塞纳的第二年授课内容：此时他正拓展《反俄狄浦斯》（*Anti-Oedipus*，1972年3月出版）中提出的概念，同时也在与费利克斯·加塔利（Félix Guattari）合著第二卷《千高原》（*A Thousand Plateaus*）。围绕这部即将出版的著作，德勒兹与加塔利仅创作了一篇直接对应研讨会内容的发表文本——他们联合发表的首篇论文《析取综合》（*La synthèse disjonctive*），刊载于1970年第43期《弧》（*L’Arc*）期刊，该期专刊致敬皮埃尔·克洛索夫斯基（Pierre Klossowski）。</p><p>1972年1月25日的第5次研讨课同样是一场不完整的片段式课堂，德勒兹仍以回应学生提问为主。首先讨论的议题包括社区精神病学与制度分析（含团体心理治疗）的差异，随后短暂转向探讨：哪些作者的文本带有畸变特质（如雷蒙·鲁塞尔[Raymond Roussel]，其创作了一种领地性与群体模式），哪些则带有精神病特质（如安东宁·阿尔托[Antonin Artaud]）。德勒兹回避了另一个关于“真正的再领地化为何”的问题，转而询问“去领地化是否会催生新的大地”，转录文本未完整记录他的回应。针对一位认为“实在具有性属性”的学生，德勒兹表示认同，但同时将这一可能性延伸至双性恋视角。针对“仍可将差异视为生命与死亡、作为真实的他者”的观点，德勒兹将死亡驱力视作弗洛伊德的一种策略，但同时指出，应当探讨死亡与欲望机器的关系。最终，德勒兹将学生们的各类发言解读为与自身观点契合，即“去性化”是一部分力比多脱离性属性并转向死亡驱力的运作过程，借此力比多得以过渡至其他投注对象。本场研讨课以学生中途发言、句子未完结的方式收尾，进一步印证了其片段化的特征。</p><p>目前暂无本场研讨课的录音留存。此处提供的原始法文转录文本采用开放文档文本（Open Data Text, ODT）格式，源自WebDeleuze网站，该网站同时提供修订版法文转录文本与新译英译本，格式均为ODT。[WebDeleuze由理查德·皮纳斯（Richard Pinhas）创立，他曾是德勒兹研讨课的学生，在德勒兹家族的支持下，整理并翻译了大量研讨课的转录文本。]</p><p>--</p><p>《德勒兹研讨会文集》（*Les Séminaires de Deleuze*）是法国哲学家吉尔·德勒兹（Gilles Deleuze）在巴黎第八大学（Université de Paris 8）任教期间所做讲座的音频录音、转录文本、英译本及补充材料合集。</p><p>本场1972年1月25日的第5次研讨课仍为片段式内容，主题聚焦精神分析式精神分裂分析，因此暗指《反俄狄浦斯》（*Anti-Oedipus*）的第二与第四章节。德勒兹将学生们的各类发言解读为与自身观点契合，即“去性化”是一部分力比多脱离性属性并转向死亡驱力的运作过程，借此力比多得以过渡至其他投注对象。本场研讨课以学生中途发言、句子未完结的方式收尾，进一步印证了其片段化的特征。</p>
