Soft Subversions (Semiotext(e) / Foreign Agents)

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.
