A ESQUIZOFRENIA DE DIFERENÇA E REPETIÇÃO À LÓGICA DO SENTIDO

We have opted here to analyze the way Artaud, the schizophrenic, shakes Deleuze”s thought before Anti-Oedipus (1972) and his encounter with Guattari, more specifi cally, in the transition from Difference and Repetition to the Logic of Sense. The overall project of Difference and Repetition (1968) trembles in the precise moment when, in the 13th series of the Logic of Sense (1969), Deleuze begins to admit the “initially imperceptible threat” of a schizophrenic nonsense and the sort of destructivity or bodily schizophrenic sans fond it presupposes. It is from this point of view that we shall consider how the “problem of schizophrenia” such as it appears in the Logic of Sense is at the basis of a new conception of immanence in Deleuze”s thought, of his critical and clinical project and, fi nally, of a new theory of the unconscious which, wagering everything on a supposed sexual origin of language, reorients psychoanalysis itself in the direction of a “psychoanalysis of sense”.
