In this installment of The Anti-Oedipus Files, we welcome translator and theorist Taylor Adkins for a wide-ranging conversation on Lacan’s “Position of the Unconscious.” Beginning with a historical primer, we trace Lacan’s fraught institutional legacy and his confrontation with psychoanalytic orthodoxy. From the topology of the lamella to the philosophical rift between Guattari and Lacan, we explore the transformations of subjectivity, desire, and analytic practice. Taylor also shares insights into his collaborations on Machinic Unconscious Happy Hour and the broader landscape of Deleuze and Guattari studies.
