How might we produce our subjectivity differently? Indeed, what are
we capable of becoming? This book addresses these questions with a
particular eye to ethics, understood as a practice of living, and
aesthetics, understood as creative experimentation and the
cultivation of a certain style of life. Central to the enquiry are
the writings of Felix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze (separately and
in collaboration), as well as their philosophical precursors,
Baruch Spinoza, Friedrich Nietzsche and Henri Bergson. Each of
these, it is argued, offers powerful resources for thinking
subjectivity beyond its habitual and typical instantiations -
specifically in relation to opening up a different temporality of
and for the subject today. Alongside this Deleuze-Guattarian
trajectory the book also brings into encounter the writings on
aesthetics and ethics of Michel Foucault and Jacques Lacan, and
pitches Deleuze against Alain Badiou's own theory of the subject.
At stake in this philosophical and psychoanalytical exploration is
the drawing of a series of diagrams of the finite-infinite
relation, and a development of Guattari's ethico-aesthetic paradigm
for thinking the production of subjectivity as speculative, but
also a pragmatic and creative practice."
