In this lecture, we'll look at Sylvere Lotringer's essay "The Dance of Signs", from "Hatred of Capitalism", published by Semiotext(e) in 2001. This essay is very similar to Deleuze and Guattari's critique of Freudian psychoanalysis in both Anti-Oedipus and "One or Several Wolves?" from A Thousand Plateaus. In this essay, Lotringer looks at Freud's interpretation of "Gradiva", a novella based on a Roman relief of the same name. This essay primarily uses Nietzsche's perspectival approach to truth in The Will to Power and uses it to approach dream analysis (very similar in many regards to schizoanalysis). Enjoy!
