Descrizione The Psychoanalysis of Sense
A new reading of The Logic of Sense emphasising Deleuze's philosophical engagement with the Lacanian school Guillaume Collett poses the question: to what extent can we locate Deleuze within the Lacanian school itself, during the late-1960s and prior to Guattari? He offers the first in-depth study of Deleuze's engagement with the debates animating the Lacanian school during the 1960s, showing how he was not merely aware of but sought to contribute to them. Emphasising his appropriation of the work of the post-Lacanian Serge Leclaire, Collett shows how he aimed to construct a more singular and immanent theory of the linguistic structure of the unconscious - granting the erogenous body a larger structuring role. By understanding it as a 'psychoanalysis of sense', the result is an integrated reading of Deleuze's major yet fragmented work The Logic of Sense (1969) and a reconsideration of its ontology and conception of philosophy. Guillaume Collett is Research Fellow at the Centre for Critical Thought, University of Kent. Cover image: Möbius strip (c) David Benbennick.
