Hanjo Berressem establishes the notion of a schizoanalytic ecology as the most consistent conceptual spine of Felix Guattari's work. He covers the whole range of Guattari's solo work, as well as the books co-authored with Gilles Deleuze. The core of his argument is developed through a rigorous explication and analysis of Guattari's 'Schizoanalytic Cartographies'. This reveals an ecological ontology developed from key concepts such as the informal diagram, the abstract machine and transversality, which is based on the conceptual complementarity of the world (the given) and its creatures (the giving).
Hanjo Berressem establishes the notion of a schizoanalytic ecology as the most consistent conceptual spine of Felix Guattari's work. To look at a situation ecologically means to analyze and administer it with the practical aim of creating a space in which it is possible to actualize viable modes of life. To create a multiplicitous, open and elastic milieu that is conducive to processes of both individuation and singularization.Berressem covers the whole range of Guattari's solo work, as well as the books co-authored with Gilles Deleuze.

Nell'originale di lingua tedesca si colgono gli aspetti tipici della personalit di un adolescente sveglio, forse un poco pi maturo dei suoi coetanei e che Matthias Czarnetzki ha saputo esprimere con maestria. Felix viene subito catapultato in un mondo strano e in un'avventura che richiede purezza di cuore, non facile da trovare in un adulto. L'autore, ispirandosi a quei filoni della narrativa moderna intrisa di avventure, favole e mitologia (Indiana Jones, i Centauri, le foreste animate ecc.) e tanto cara ai giovani lettori contemporanei, c'immerge nel mondo magico di una quarta dimensione, che poco si allontana dal reale. Un mondo dove autostima e subcosciente hanno un ruolo predominante e dove Felix suo malgrado deve muoversi avendo accettato una sfida. Tra il serio ed il faceto, tra l'ironico e l'austero, il dramma e la farsa, la vicenda segue da vicino il nostro eroe che apprender a vincere quando, cosciente e consapevole delle proprie capacit , non teme di prendere l'iniziativa. Solo cos egli si pu riscattare, evitare la distruzione di Zam ra e assicurare la pace tra nemici millenari. La traduzione italiana, arricchita di qualche scena aggiuntiva, esalta la forza della creativit alla quale possiamo attingere quando crediamo fermamente in uno scopo che in tal modo raggiungeremo con certezza.
