October 1, 1973 to January 21, 1974

With Anti-Oedipus published the previous year, this seminar clearly develops more consistently toward concepts in the different plateaus in A Thousand Plateaus, and corresponding to this academic year are several publications linked to this development: in late 1973, Deleuze and Guattari present another chapter, plateau 2 in A Thousand Plateaus, on Freud’s case of ‘The Wolf Man’, and several months later, they publish an essay on Kafka’s novel The Castle, developing a separate project that will result in Kafka. Towards a Minor Literature.

Finally, with no available transcripts for academic year 1974-75, two more texts will be published during that missing year: material from another chapter which will become plateau 6 in A Thousand Plateaus, on the Body without Organs, and publication of Kafka. Towards a Minor Literature (1975).
