​

In Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, Deleuze and Guattari engaged capitalist flows, Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis via the concept of "desiring-machines" proposing that we use"schizoanalysis" instead. In this conference, we reexamine the question of what are desiring-machines and how are they revolutionary and productive? How does this concept relate to other concepts such as assemblage, bodies-without-organs, immanence, life, rhizomes and the war machine? In this conference, international Deleuze and Guattari scholars from around the world such as the UK, States, Australia, France, Japan, South Korea, South Korea, Taiwan and other regions will gather in Singapore to explore the perennial question of how thinking can still change the world.

Prior to the conference, there will be a two-three days Deleuze Camp. The available spaces are limited, registrations will be accepted on a first-come first-serve basis.
