politics of desire « Previous | |Next »
October 9, 2005

The title of the post refers to Gilles Delueze and Felix Guattari, and it signifies their assault on the synthesis of Freudianism and Marxism in the 20th century. They see desire as being implicated in all social and political processes. So all social relations are desire relations as well as power relations. Presumably desire is inseperable from power.

That is a different and more fruitful way of looking at desire.
