It is on this very topic of the war that Guattari's course was
brutally cut short by his death. At the instigation of his friend Sacha
Goldman, in the aftermath of the Gulf War, while the ex-Yugoslavia
was tearing itself apart, Guattari began a dialogue in several stages
with Paul Virilio. These three sessions took place on May 4, June
22, and August 4, 1992: "The Spanish War was a laboratory ... The
Gulf War and the war in Yugoslavia are laboratories of something to
come ... What has just happened in the '90s is the end of the
weapons of mass destruction replaced by the weapon of communication.
"58 In this dialogue, Guattari never stopped coming back to
what remained for him the major question: the transformation of
subjectivity, binding new military technologies and new strategies to
the "conditions of the production of subjectivity to which they are
adjacent."59 Sacha Goldman sent the transcription of this dialogue
to both partners in August. As Virilio was correcting the text he got
a telephone call from Antoine de Gaudemar: "Gaudemar told me:
'Paul, did you hear what happened to Felix' I answered: no, is he
cross Because he was a little miffed after we had an argument and
I thought that he didn't want to do this book with me any more.
And Gaudemar said: 'No, he's dead."'GO
