A new land: Deleuze and Guattari and planning

Mark Purcell

Planning Theory & Practice, 2013, vol. 14, issue 1, 20-38

Abstract: This article argues that planning would benefit from greater engagement with the work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. It pays particular attention to their normative political vision, which is a revolutionary agenda that aims at a condition of radical freedom for humans beyond the state and capitalism. The planning literature has only just begun to examine Deleuze and Guattari's work, and so far it has avoided discussion of their normative political vision. I argue that when we confront this vision head-on, it opens up productive existential and normative questions about what planning is and if it should exist at all.
