Hétérogenèse et consistance ontologique chez Deleuze et Guattari

Within Deleuzian studies, the concept of heterogenesis has received little comment. No doubt, because it has been more worked by Félix Guattari than by Deleuze himself. It finds its full use in schizoanalysis, a theory where desire is no longer conceived as a lack or as a theater, but as a machine to produce, and where the unconscious is no longer the psychoanalytic unconscious circumscribed in a psychic space “familialized”, but a machinic unconscious which proceeds from interactive processes of a series of machines, or according to the Guattarian vocabulary, from a series of “collective assemblages of enunciation”. As we will see here, it is in the topological sharing of the quadrialtere of assemblages that the heterogenesis between “existential territories” and “universe constellations” is born.
