AKRONOS Publishing is pleased to announce
that it has just added to its website,
http://www.aetherometry.com
an article entitled:
A Monist View of the Relation between
Libidinal and Political Economies
and the Problem of Fascism
The article appears as monograph AS1-05 in the Philosophy of Science
series, and can be accessed directly at
http://www.aetherometry.com/AS1-05.html
In this article, the question of the connection between desire and society,
in particular with respect to fascism, is examined by contrasting two
intimately linked but very different approaches - that of Reich in his
pre-American or Freudo-Marxist period, and that of Deleuze and Guattari's
biosocial theory. The two viewpoints correspond to dualist versus monist
conceptualizations of the connection between libidinal and political
economies. As the hydra of fascism once again raises its ugly head,
the issues brought up by this 1979 lecture remain more pressing than ever.
And from any viewpoint that seeks expansion of aetherometric knowledge,
the monist notion of the connection between desire and political economy
is an opening to understanding our natural and social histories as
biophysical productions that obey two distinct energy regimes.
Yours,
Laura McFinlay,
