CAPITALISM & SCHIZOPHRENIA. Observations on Anti-Oedipus.
Lecture by Prof. Dr. Marc Rölli (HGB Leipzig, Germany)

Inscriptions: face-to-face & on-line

Would it be possible to find in the “schizo” a minority becoming that resonates in contemporary queer-feminist and decolonizing controversies? It may be that there is an Anti-Oedipal actuality at this point, which results from Guattari and Deleuze’s critique of capitalism and their descriptions of machines. In this lecture, first some of the conceptual prerequisites of the desiring machine essential for the understanding of their subjectivation processes will be explained. Their materialistic aspect is the focus. Second, relationships that link the history of madness or psychiatry to that of capitalism are investigated. Finally, an attempt is made to capture something of the descriptive arts of schizophrenic subjectivation that cannot simply be located in the critical identity zones of currently established inequalities of class and gender relations, as well as in transmitted colonial structures.

SEPARATISM AS A METHOD
Lecture by Ilse Lafer (curator of the gallery at HGB Leipzig) and Marc Rölli

Inscriptions: face-to-face & on-line

The political strategies of the present are permeated by identity conflicts. In the dispute for more right-wing or left-wing populisms, in the defense of a minority position, in the rejection of dominant discourses, colonial or patriarchal structures – identities are always claimed or rejected.
In this situation, it will be helpful to critically examine separatist strategies to understand their meaning, scope, and limits. The differential feminist approach of Italian art critic Carla Lonzi offers a suitable starting point for this, insofar as artistic and political perspectives relate in an exemplary way. These considerations are deepened in the context of contemporary art and especially in the recent work of Legacy Russell, Catherine Malabou and Donna Haraway. The lecture ends with some reflections on “classless” people and the “inhuman gender”, two concepts in Guattari and Deleuze’s Anti-Oedipus.
