Nomadology

Meta-Anarchism, also known as Deleuzoguattarianism, is a philosophical and political ideology that focuses on an analysis of different social structures based upon ideas such as machines, territories, war machines, etc. It analyzes these structures from a Post-Structuralist and a  Post-Modernist perspective, rejecting any fundamental principle for its ideas, instead relying on what Deleuze and Guattari call  Pragmatics. Their political ideas are broadly based upon Post-Left ideas arising after may 68.

Before The Collaboration
Before meeting each other and collaborating, Deleuze and Guattari had their own personal projects and works. Deleuze taught at the University of Paris and published his first work, Empiricism and Subjectivity, a work on the theories of Hume. After his time there he worked at the French National Center for Scientific Research, during which he wrote Nietzsche and Philosphy, his own personal anti-Hegelian reading of Nietzsche. It was also during his time there that he befriended fellow post-structuralist philosopher Michel Foucault. He then taught at the University of Lyon. During this time the events of may 68' occurred, in which he defended his dissertations by writing two works: Difference and Repetition and Expressionism in Philosophy. He then began teaching at the University of Paris VIII, where he would befriend Guattari.

Guattari became interested in politics and philosophy through his participation in Trotskyist groups as a teenager. He then worked directly under famous psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, who he would later be very critical of. After this he worked at La Borde, an experimental clinic that would greatly influence his later idea of schizoanalysis through their experimental use of group therapy. His earlier Marxist views still influenced him greatly, as he would support anti-colonial struggles and the Italian autonomists. He then founded, along with many other militants, The Federation of Groups for Institutional Study & Research, which engaged in anti-colonial struggle and anti-psychiatry. Guattari was involved in the may 68' movements, the failure of which influencing him and many others thought. After this he met Deleuze and begun planning Anti-Oedipus together.

Deleuze And Guattari's Collaboration
Deleuze and Guattari collaborated on 3 works: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, Kafka: Towards a Minor Literature, and What is Philosophy? These works describe the foundations of schizoanalysis and other shared ideas, though they where expanded individually by Deleuze and Guattari respectively. Their most famous work was Capitalism and Schizophrenia, was an attack upon traditional psychological practice and its dogma. Their attitudes in this work became synonymous with post-structuralism and post-modernism, with them emphasizing the nomadology of knowledge and identity. This work was split into two volumes, those being: Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus. Anti-Oedipus is the fundamental text of schizoanalysis, constructing its practice out of a criticism of classical psychoanalysis. They also recontextualize Marx's dialectical materialism into desiring production. Nietzsche's will to power is very influential to how Deleuze and Guattari describe desiring production. A Thousand Plateaus puts both the ideas arising out of Anti-Oedipus and the new idea of the rhizome into praxis. The rhizome is a group of machines that are connected in the sense that none are prioritized over the other and that a connection is always in the middle, there is no start or end. They use both the basis of schizoanalysis and a rhizomatic way of thinking to analyze various things such as sexuality, linguistics, war machines, etc.

How to Draw

 * 1) draw a ball
 * 2) make the background white
 * 3) draw a few variously colored dots inside the ball
 * 4) draw the eyes and you're done!

Obviously these do not have to be done in order, as that would impose a symbolic strata which restrains the free flow of desire.
