Desiring-Machines
Deleuze-Guattarian concept of desire as productive force creating reality. Desire is not lack but production and connection. Desiring-machines couple with other machines, cutting flows. Opposed to Freudian lack-based desire. Unconscious is factory, not theater. Schizophrenia as decoded flows versus paranoid coding. Capitalism both unleashes and captures desiring-production. Oedipus as social repression, not universal structure. Anti-Oedipus critiques psychoanalytic familialism. Revolutionary potential in decoded desire.
