The legendary 1975 ¿Schizo-Culture¿ conference, conceived by the early Semiotext(e) collective, began as an attempt to introduce the then-unknown radical philosophies of post-¿68 France to the American avant-garde. The event featured a series of seminal papers, from Deleuze¿s first presentation of the concept of the ¿rhizome¿ to Foucault¿s introduction of his History of Sexuality project. The conference was equally important on a political level, and brought together a diverse group of activists, thinkers, patients, and ex-cons in order to address the challenge of penal and psychiatric institutions. The combination proved to be explosive, but amid the fighting and confusion ¿Schizo-Culture¿ revealed deep ruptures in left politics, French thought, and American culture. This slip-cased edition includes The Book: 1978, a facsimile reproduction of the original Schizo-Culture publication, and The Event: 1975, a previously unpublished and comprehensive record of the conference that set it all off.
