Establishes the notion of a schizoanalytic ecology as the most consistent conceptual spine of Félix Guattari’s workAffirms Guattari as an important voice in contemporary ecology and as a not-yet-fully acknowledged nodal point in the creation of that ecologyWith case studies of Guattari’s reading of Balthus paintings, his theory of architecture and his reading of ProustTraces the potential of schizoecology for the fields of architecture, the visual arts, literature, politics and ethicsTo look at a situation ecologically means to analyse and administer it with the practical aim of creating a space in which it is possible to actualise viable modes of life. To create a multiplicitous, open and elastic milieu that is conducive to processes of both individuation and singularisation. Hanjo Berressem covers the whole range of Guattari’s solo work, as well as the books co-authored with Gilles Deleuze. The core of his argument is developed through a rigorous explication and analysis of Guattari’s Schizoanalytic Cartographies. This reveals an ecological ontology developed from key concepts such as the informal diagram, the abstract machine and transversality, which is based on the conceptual complementarity of the world (the given) and its creatures (the giving).
