Desire as a Force: Clinic and Politics
摘要
This chapter develops the relationship between desire and forces, our “units of analysis.” It theorizes about how desire is apprehended in schizoanalysis, in its articulation with the relations of forces and power, in a different way from psychoanalysis. It presents a typology of forces referenced mainly in the work of the philosopher Nietzsche, in which reactive forces and resentment are symptoms of contemporary malaise. In its second half, it presents the klinic of difference-repetition, created by Gregorio Baremblitt, as a schizodrama intervention procedure that aims to deconstruct the nihilism and reactivity experienced today. The chapter ends with a definition of clinic-politics.
