Deleuze byrne

5 WAYS TO UNDERSTAND DELEUZE THROUGH THE WORK OF DAVID BYRNE AND THE TALKING HEADS Freudian psychoanalysis sees schizophrenia as a condition in which the libidinal energy is detached from objects, causing the subject to lose his grip on reality, and resulting in incoherent speech, confused action and anxiety. For Deleuze, on the other hand, the hallucinations of the schizophrenic are not a poor image of reality, but are in fact the creative productions of a new reality, in which desire is not repressed by the standard social structures.
