Machinic Enslavement: Deleuze and Guattari's 'Apparatus of Capture'


Listen Later

On this episode, Craig, Adam, Matt, and Will recap and reflect on the reading group’s discussion of Deleuze and Guattari’s “Apparatus of Capture”. What does “capture” mean in the work of Deleuze and Guattari? How is the subject of capital captured? In what ways does the cybernetic present redefine the nature of our social subjection? How can we resist capture? This discussion ranges from pontifications about neoliberal theories of “human capital” to the function of Nielsen ratings at the advent of a society defined by its mechanisms of control. This episode tackles issues of interests to those dedicated to biopolitical critique, ontologies of flight and political resistance, philosophical anthropology, and the cybernetic hypothesis.
