Anti-Oedipus & Deconstruction
Chapter Summary (Overview of Key ideas)
1) Desiring Machines
-Partial Objects and Flows:
desire must first be understood as a key element of the subconscious. This assumption allows 'desire' to be introduced into the mechanism and introduce production into desire. (desire being the key element in producing reality) the desiring machine is at the heart of the production. It has been described as partial machines, connecting, breaking and flowing between all others, yet always being a fragmented piece, never a whole.
-anti-production
In reference to Capitalism, anti production is the primary attractor for desire, whereas past belief has focused clearly on the element of production.
-The Body Without Organs
The Body without Organs is the limit where all the flows which constitute the world flow completely freely, so that no distinctions exist among them any longer. The desiring machines constitute a world in which everything flows. water, air, magma, blood, paint, electricity, not only grass, earth, sun, but ideas, people, culture, books, conversations flow. Every flow is made by cutting off another flow. (machine)
This desire, the desire of a flow to flow unconstrained, is described as "the body without organs". The body without organs is real, since the desire is real, in fact, the body without organs just is desire. flows are never free, but always interrupted. Without the interruption and the desire, the flow and its break, there would be no world at all.

-Passive Synthesis
"Passive synthesis" is Edmund Husserl's descriptive phrase for the epistemological mortar that comprehensively binds experience such that it is conceptually coherent: "As long as we constantly have sheer experience as our basis... we are constantly guided by that passive synthesis in which precisely the multiplicity of experience yields a unity of an experiential object as something consistently existing."

Placed within a deconstruction context, these ideas presented within Anti-Oedipus explore and question preconceived undesterstandings and assumptionsa made mostly within Psychoanalysis and the role between human and society.
