A new, expanded, and reorganized edition of a collection of texts
that present a fuller scope to Guattari's thinking from 1977 to
1985. This new edition of Soft Subversions expands, reorganizes,
and develops the original 1996 publication, offering a carefully
organized arrangement of essays, interviews, and short texts that
present a fuller scope to Guattari's thinking from 1977 to 1985.
This period encompasses what Guattari himself called the "Winter
Years" of the early 1980s-the ascent of the Right, the spread of
environmental catastrophe, the rise of a disillusioned youth with
diminished prospects for career and future, and the establishment
of a postmodernist ideology that offered solutions toward
adaptation rather than change-a period with discernible echoes
twenty years later. Following Semiotext(e)'s release last season of
the new, expanded edition of Chaosophy: Texts and Interviews
1972-1977, this book makes Guattari's central ideas and concepts
fully available in the format that had been best suited to
Guattari's temperament: the guerrilla-styled intervention of the
short essay and interactive dialogue. This edition includes such
previously unpublished, substantive texts as "Institutional
Intervention" and "About Schools," along with new translations of
"War, Crisis, or Life" and "The Nuclear State," interviews and
essays on a range of topics including adolescence and Italy, dream
analysis and schizo-analysis, Marcel Proust and Jimmy Carter, as
well as invaluable autobiographical documents such as "I Am an
Idea-Thief" and "So What."
