Desiring-production is a term coined by the French thinkers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in their book ''Anti-Œdipus'' (1972). They oppose the Freudian conception of the unconscious as a representational "theater", instead favoring a productive "factory" model: desire is not an imaginary force based on lack, but a real, productive force. They describe the mechanistic nature of desire as a kind of "desiring-machine" that functions as a circuit breaker in a larger "circuit" of various other machines to which it is connected. Meanwhile, the desiring-machine is also producing a flow of desire from itself. Deleuze and Guattari imagine a multi-functional universe composed of such machines all connected to each other: "There are no desiring-machines that exist outside the social machines that they form on a large scale; and no social machines without the desiring machines that inhabit them on a small scale." Desiring-production is explosive, "there is no desiring-machine capable of being assembled without demolishing entire social sectors" of the socius that inscribed it. The concept of desiring-production is part of Deleuze and Guattari's more general appropriation of Friedrich Nietszche's formulation of the Will to Power. In both concepts, a pleasurable force of appropriation of what is outside oneself, incorporating into oneself what is other than oneself, characterizes the essential process of all life. Similarly, a kind of reverse force of "forgetting" in Nietzsche and the body without organs in Deleuze and Guattari disavows the Will to Power and desiring-production, attempting to realize the ideal of an hermetic subject. Thenceforth, while very interested by Wilhelm Reich's fundamental question — ''why did the masses desire fascism?'' — they criticized his dualist theory leading to a rational social reality on one side, and an irrational desire reality on the other side. ''Anti-Œdipus'' was thus an attempt to think beyond Freudo-Marxism; and Deleuze and Guattari tried to do for Freud what Marx had done for Adam Smith. Published in the same year as ''Anti-Œdipus'', Guy Hocquenghem's ''Homosexual Desire'' re-articulated desiring-production within the emergent field of queer theory. == See also == *Erewhon *Plane of immanence 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Desiring-production」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
