Deleuze and the Schizoanalysis of Visual Art

The concept of schizoanalysis merges psychoanalytic theories of the self, libido, and desire with Marxist theories of economy, history, and society. It posits that art serves both political and aesthetic functions by altering perception; without changing perception, political change is impossible. Deleuze and Guattari argue that artists engage with the real rather than the imaginary or symbolic, asserting that aesthetics and politics are intertwined, both influencing social and cultural norms. This exploration reveals that every artist, regardless of skill, impacts society by either reinforcing or challenging these norms. Thus, we all possess the potential for an 'aesthetico-political function' to transform our surroundings or, conversely, to uphold the status quo as if it were freedom. Edited by a prominent scholar in Deleuze Studies and a noted artist, this collection features contributions from academics and practicing artists, serving as a valuable resource for upper-level students and scholars in visual arts, critical theory, continental philosophy, and media.
