Reflecions on the society of control – Footnotes to the Delezoguattarian machine

Summary/Abstract: The present study revolves around the concept of the Deleuzean machine. It undertakes to introduce the machine from Deleuze’s concept of the societies of control. Thus this paper is nota presentation of the critique of the Freudian and Lacanian notions of desire that the machine is introduced as a late capitalist abstract agent, but a genealogy of the machinic mechanism – as a logic of operation – is outlined from a new perspective. The emphasis of the study is not on psychoanalysis and capitalism, and on psychoanalysis as a critique of them, but on the operational logic of the societies of control: the articulation of controlling freedom. Fort he latter, concepts such as territory, de- and reterritorialization, as well as the operating principles of cybernetic systems are shed light on. By examining this concept, therefore, the ways of understanding the social, economic and political processes of our time can be shed new light.
