Marx and the question of production
Anti-Oedipus investigates production beyond manufacturing saleable objects, relating social organization to desire. Marx’s analysis of capitalist production is a central source.
Desiring-production is not a term simply transferred from Marx. The relation between production and libidinal investments is reconstructed as a question. Links distinguish this reconstruction from Marx’s alienation.
