Anti-Oedipus & Deconstruction
Chapter 2 Summary: Psychoanalysis and Familialism: The Holy Family
Imperialism of Oedipus:
Psychoanalysis suggests that everything refers back to an Oedipal standard. It totalizes field by reference to a single standard, then introduces the "three fold": pre-Oedipus, group Oedipus (extended family explains psychosis) and structural Oedipus (Lacan)
The imperialistic tendancies of oedipus allow for a distinction between imagination and symbolism, and allows Oedipus to become a reference axis beyond Freudian thought.
The family of the social field:
The family is seperate completely from the influence of the social field, yet it is a microcosm of relationships and interdependancies found within social fields. Oedipus acting both as the bond, catalyst and the seperatin factor in the comparative relationships.
Social Repression and psychic repression:
The real forces of the Oedipal relationship, according to Deleuze and Guattari lies in social repression. There are two apparent problems with previous thought, the specific relation of psychic and social repression, the prior use of Oedipus in this system, and a link if psychic repression worked on [real] incestuous desire. This would assume it would be condition of society, where "social repression" deals only with return of this repression in society.
This chapter has evolved in both Deluze's and Guattari's theory on the relationship of the family and society. The text is significantly more abstract with less application to living examples, and therefore very difficult to grasp as a coherent concept. The only evidence that i have found in this chapter regarding deconstruction is the example of the family in relation to oedipus, in relation to the social field. (exclusively bonded by the Oedipalization of different groups)
Interesting link explaingin the links between these authors (Delueze) to Derridaean theory and deconstruction:
