Deleuze and Desire Summary

Deleuze and Desire: Analysis of "The Logic of Sense" by Piotrek Swiatkowski

The engagement of Gilles Deleuze with psychoanalysis has led to the development of a remarkable and highly influential theory about human desire. The most systematic account of this theory, crucial for anyone interested in the work of Deleuze and Felix Guattari, can be found in the discussion of the dynamic genesis of sense, a pivotal part of Deleuze's The Logic of Sense. In Deleuze and Desire Piotrek Swiatkowski picks up the challenge to provide a commentary on this text. Swiatkowski makes use of a broad range of examples, from psychoanalytic case studies to art, literature, and film, and systematically analyzes in an accessible and clear way the impact of the work of psychoanalysts such as Melanie Klein on Deleuze.

Deleuze and Desire Reviews

Systematische analyse van 'The Logic of Sense', Gilles Deleuzes psychoanalytische theorie over het menselijk verlangen. Hierin weerlegt de Franse filosoof Deleuze Jacques Lacans structuralistische psychoanalyse diestelt dat het menselijk verlangen kan geanalyseerd worden door middel van een universele structuur. De analyse van het menselijk verlangen betekende voor Deleuze het begin van zijn samenwerking met de Franse psychoanalyticus Felix Guattari. Academicus Swiatkowski voorziet in een letterlijke commentaar van deze tekst en illustreert met gevalsbeschrijvingen uit de psychoanalyse en voorbeelden uit kunst, literatuur en film.
