Özet:
Although Felix Guattari extensively
incorporated the terminology from the Freud-Lacan line of
psychoanalysis, he employs those terms in a revolutionary way in his
philosophical outlook. Besides central concepts such as desire, libido
and Oedipus, he employed the machine as a core concept to form an
original perspective. A term reflecting the multiplicity and political
novelty, its psychoanalytic background is an indispensable aspect for
Guattari’s machines’ origins, their function and temporal progression.
Through Freud’s and Lacan’s theories, psychoanalytic political line and
related criticisms are investigated in this thesis to provide a
background for Guattari’s machines. Then, the particularities of the
machine concept are followed in Guattari’s texts to see what kind of
problems and original solutions it addresses. Those insights indicate
that the machinic approach itself functions in a machinic fashion to
develop the multiplicity in the relatively rigid field of
psychoanalysis. Additionally, the thesis strives to answer the question
“How does Guattari and his machine concept manage to construct an
original perspective?” To answer these questions, the final part of the
thesis will investigate the theoretical approaches to physics
corresponding to Freud’s, Lacan’s and Guattari’s peculiarities along
with their views on time and temporality. The ultimate aim of the study
is to discuss the background of philosophically original perspectives
brought about by Guattari’s machine concept and its machinic function
through the field of psychoanalysis.
