In this session of the Anti-Oedipus Files, Dr. Bob Langan joins
the reading group to explore Carl Jung’s theory of libido,
particularly as it appears in Symbols of Transformation, where
Jung challenges Freud’s strictly sexual definition of libido. The
conversation examines how Jung’s model of psychic energy may have
influenced Deleuze and Guattari’s reconceptualization of desire
in Anti-Oedipus, particularly in the shift from a repressed,
Oedipal unconscious to a dynamic model of desiring-production.
Jung’s tensions with Freud, his engagement with myth, and the
role of archetypes as energetic processes rather than static
typologies are central to the discussion, as is the way his work
has been co-opted and misrepresented by figures like Jordan
Peterson. The group also unpacks Jung’s connections to Spinoza,
his late-career interest in synchronicity, and how his Red Book
offers a more radical and experiential engagement with the
unconscious than his later, more systematized theories suggest.
