Felix Guattari 
Lines of Flight [PDF ebook] 
For Another World of Possibilities

As an analyst, philosopher and militant, Félix Guattari anticipated decentralized forms of political activism that have become increasingly evident around the world since the events of Seattle in 1999.

Lines of Flight anticipates Guattari”s later work on Integrated World Capitalism and on ecosophy.



Providing a detailed and clearly documented account of his micropolitical critique of psychoanalytic, semiological and linguistic accounts of meaning and subjectivity, this work offers an astonishingly fresh set of conceptual tools for imaginative and engaged thinking about capitalism and effective forms of resistance to it.
