Chaosophy - autonomous learning

is permeable to environmental forces and exterior influences. Collective
infrastructures, like the media and advertising, never cease
to interfere with the most intimate levels of subjective life. The
unconscious is not something that exists by itself to be gotten hold of
through intimate discourse. In fact, it is only a rhizome of machinic
interactions, a link to power systems and power relations that surround
us. & such, unconscious processes cannot be analyzed in terms of specific
content or structural syntax, but rather in terms of enunciation,
of collective enunciative arrangements, which, by definition, correspond
neither to biological individuals nor to structural paradigms. Unconscious
subjectivity engendered by these arrangements is not "ready
made." It locates its processes of singularization, its subjective ensemble,
within orders which differ greatly from each other (signs,
incorporeal universes, energy, the "mechanosphere," etc.), according to
open configurations, in the way that we speak today of opening up creative
possibilities in the visual arts, in materials, substances, forms ...
The customary psychoanalytical family-based reductions of the
unconscious are not "errors." They correspond to a particular kind of
collective enunciative arrangement. In relation to unconscious formation,
they proceed from the particular micropolitics of capitalistic
societal organization. An overly diversified, overly creative machinic
unconscious would exceed the limits of "good behavior" within the
relations of production founded upon social exploitation and segregation.
This is why our societies grant a special position to those who
specialize in recentering the unconscious onto the individuated
subject, onto partially reified objects, where methods of containment
prevent its expansion beyond dominant realities and significations.
The impact of the scientific aspirations of techniques like psychoanalysis
and family therapy should be considered as a gigantic industry
for the normalization, adaption and organized division of the socius.
The workings of the social division of labor, the assignment of
individuals to particular productive tasks, no longer depend solely
