The concept of schizoanalysis is Deleuze and Guattari's fusion of
psychoanalytic-inspired theories of the self, the libido and desire
with Marx-inspired theories of the economy, history and society.
Schizoanalysis holds that art's function is both political and
aesthetic - it changes perception. If one cannot change perception,
then, one cannot change anything politically. This is why Deleuze
and Guattari always insist that artists operate at the level of the
real (not the imaginary or the symbolic). Ultimately, they argue,
there is no necessary distinction to be made between aesthetics and
politics. They are simply two sides of the same coin, both
concerned with the formation and transformation of social and
cultural norms. Deleuze and the Schizoanalysis of Visual Art
explores how every artist, good or bad, contributes to the
structure and nature of society because their work either
reinforces social norms, or challenges them. From this point of
view we are all artists, we all have the potential to exercise what
might be called a 'aesthetico-political function' and change the
world around us; or, conversely, we can not only let the status quo
endure, but fight to preserve it as though it were freedom itself.
Edited by one of the world's leading scholars in Deleuze Studies
and an accomplished artist, curator and critic, this impressive
collection of writings by both academics and practicing artists is
an exciting imaginative tool for a upper level students and
academics researching and studying visual arts, critical theory,
continental philosophy, and media.
