“desiring-production is one and the same thing as social production”
― Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia
― Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia
“The violence of Hegel’s writing style consists in not allowing the reader to translate the conflicts of a proposition into the higher synthesis of a stable meaning. It interferes with the reader’s wish to be done with the text…. Hegel frustrates the reader’s desire to withdraw as quickly as possible from the contact with the other into the aloof identity and superior authority of the I. Speculative science asks us to “be with [zusammensein]” being (apprehended and articulated as subject) to sympathize with its self-disruption without losing our own beat, to join hands with it and dance.”
― Tropes of Transport: Hegel and Emotion
