This is a unique examination of the writing of Felix Guattari, one
of France's most important intellectuals of the twentieth
century.Felix Guattari was a French political militant, practicing
psychoanalyst and international public intellectual. He is best
known for his work with the philosopher Gilles Deleuze on the
two-volume "Capitalism and Schizophrenia", one of the most
influential works of post-structuralism. From the mid-1950s onward,
Guattari exerted a profound yet often behind-the-scenes influence
on institutional psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, radical politics
and philosophy. "Guattari's Diagrammtic Thought" examines the
writings that Guattari authored on his own, both before and during
his collaboration with Deleuze, providing a startlingly fresh
perspective on intellectual and political trends in France and
beyond during the second half of the twentieth century.Janell
Watson acknowledges the historical and biographical aspect of
Guattari's writing and explores the relevance of his theoretical
ideas to topics as diverse as the May 1968 student movement,
Lacanian psychoanalysis, neo-liberalism, ethnic identity,
microbiology, quantum mechanics, chaos theory, ecology, the mass
media, and the subjective dimensions of information technology. The
book demonstrates that Guattari's unique thought process yields a
markedly Guattarian version of many seemingly familiar Deleuzean
notions.

This book addresses the issues of collecting, consuming,
classifying and describing the curiosities, antiques and objets
d'art that proliferated in French literary texts during the last
decades of the nineteenth century. After Balzac made such issues
significant in canonical literature, the Goncourt brothers,
Huysmans, Mallarme and Maupassant celebrated their golden age.
Flaubert and Zola scorned them. Rachilde and Lorrain perverted
them. Proust commemorated their last moments of glory. Focusing on
the bibelot (the modern French term for knick-knack, curiosity or
other collectible), Janell Watson shows how the sudden prominence
given to curiosities and collecting in nineteenth-century
literature signals a massive change in attitudes to the world of
goods, which in turn restructured the literary text according to
the practical logic of daily life, calling into question
established scholarly notions of order. Her study makes an
important contribution to the literary history of material culture.
