Alija 📚🏴 started reading Anti-Oedipus by Gilles Deleuze
Okay, so, this is going to be a bit of a problem to get through, but it seems potentially highly relevant.. If anyone knows what "oedipalized territorialities" mean, DM me 🥲

i honestly wouldnt even try reading the antioedipus if you dont have any understanding of Spinoza, Hegel and Marx as a start, and even if you would id recommend you to read a D&G introductory book first, but hey thats just my two cents

@suzyxwvu Bah, how hard could it be? 🤷 Nah, but I've got some acquaintences whit philosophy degrees who apparently started a book circle with this recently, so I plan on bothering them when I get stuck.
Although, if you have any prerec. recommendations, hit me up 😌

@alija Well, as an example on how hard this book can be, D&G wrote it as the representation of rhizomatic (in the D&G sense, not in the botanical sense), so Deleuze wrote a few lines, then Guattari wrote a few lines, and so on, it's the schizophrenic (another term D&G's adapted from psychology) taken form unto text.
I do have some recommendations but all the stuff I've used as a pre-read are in Spanish/French and I think there are no English translations for most of what I've read. If you're really into preparing for it Beth Lord's has some good introductions to Kant and Spinoza, and if you think that's just way too much for you [this book]https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15007407-the-deleuze-and-guattari-dictionary) provides a good place to at least look up for their terminology.
Still, you're going to have the help of people who studied them so it's going to be a lot …

Still, you're going to have the help of people who studied them so it's going to be a lot easier for you, I hope in the future you can explain it to me, lol.
