Most commentators judge Deleuze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus as
either a Medusa into whose face psychoanalysis cannot but stare and
suffer the most abominable of deaths or a well-intentioned but
thoroughly misguided flash in the pan. Fadi Abou-Rihan shows that,
as much as it is an insightful critique of the assimilationist vein
in psychoanalysis, Anti-Oedipus remains fully committed to Freud's
most singular discovery of an unconscious that is procedural and
dynamic. Moreover, Abou-Rihan argues, the anti-oedipal project is a
practice where the science of the unconscious is made to obey the
laws it attributes to its object. The outcome is nothing short of
the "becoming-unconscious" of psychoanalysis, a becoming that
signals neither the repression nor the death of the practice but
the transformation of its principles and procedures into those of
its object. Abou-Rihan tracks this becoming alongside Nietzsche,
Winnicott, Feynman, Bardi, and Cixous in order to reconfigure
desire beyond the categories of subject, lack, and tragedy. Firmly
grounded in continental philosophy and psychoanalytic practice,
this book extends the anti-oedipal view on the unconscious in a
wholly new direction.
