Never-before-published lectures, Q&As, and squabbles from the
conference that introduced French theory into America, with a
facsimile of the journal issue that emerged from it. I think
"schizo-culture" here is being used rather in a special sense. Not
referring to clinical schizophrenia, but to the fact that the
culture is divided up into all sorts of classes and groups, etc.,
and that some of the old lines are breaking down. And that this is
a healthy sign. -William Burroughs, from Schizo-Culture The
legendary 1975 "Schizo-Culture" conference, conceived by the early
Semiotext(e) collective, began as an attempt to introduce the
then-unknown radical philosophies of post-'68 France to the
American avant-garde. The event featured a series of seminal
papers, from Deleuze's first presentation of the concept of the
"rhizome" to Foucault's introduction of his History of Sexuality
project. The conference was equally important on a political level,
and brought together a diverse group of activists, thinkers,
patients, and ex-cons in order to address the challenge of penal
and psychiatric institutions. The combination proved to be
explosive, but amid the fighting and confusion "Schizo-Culture"
revealed deep ruptures in left politics, French thought, and
American culture. The "Schizo-Culture" issue of the Semiotext(e)
journal came three years later. Designed by a group of artists and
filmmakers including Kathryn Bigelow and Denise Green, it
documented the chaotic creativity of an emerging downtown New York
scene, and offered interviews with artists, theorists, writers, and
No Wave and pre-punk musicians together with new texts from
Deleuze, Foucault, R. D. Laing, and other conference participants.
This slip-cased edition includes The Book: 1978, a facsimile
reproduction of the original Schizo-Culture publication; and The
Event: 1975, a previously unpublished and comprehensive record of
the conference that set it all off. It assembles many previously
unpublished texts, including a detailed selection of interviews
reconstructing the events, and features Felix Guattari, William
Burroughs, Kathy Acker, Michel Foucault, Sylvere Lotringer, Guy
Hocquenghem, Gilles Deleuze, John Rajchman, Robert Wilson, Joel
Kovel, Jack Smith, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Ti-Grace Atkinson,
Francois Peraldi, and John Cage.
