Between the radical energies of the 1960s and the shifting
terrains of the 1980s, a group in France quietly detonated the
boundaries of politics, psychiatry, and collective life. CERFI –
the Centre for Institutional Study, Research, and Training –
wasn’t your typical think tank. Co-founded by Félix Guattari, it
set out to bring the disruptive insights of institutional
psychotherapy into the heart of militant and professional
organizing. Their wager? That every collective needs a form of <i>analytic
militancy</i>: a way to navigate the unconscious forces that
shape power, desire, and resistance from within. <br>
<br>
This was the birth of schizoanalysis outside of the clinical
setting: a practice that shifts focus from the individual psyche
to the collective assemblages that compose our lives. What are the
deeper machinic drives shaping our actions? What forms of desire
power our institutions? CERFI’s work took these questions
seriously, designing communal infrastructures, building popular
research teams, and launching <i>Recherches</i>, a journal that
amplified voices from revolutionary struggles, childcare centres,
classrooms, psychiatric wards, and beyond. Analysis Everywhere
dives into the rich archive of CERFI’s radical experiments:
conceptual, editorial, and lived. It invites us to imagine a
practice where the unconscious isn’t repressed but mobilized.
Where analysis isn’t an afterthought but a vital tool for
political transformation. <br>
<br>
“‘Only Desire Can Read Desire,’ wrote Félix Guattari, and this
quote, which Caló and Pereira use as the title of their
introduction, expresses the precious specificity of this book.
Caló and Pereira’s desire to revive the passionate adventure of
CERFI testifies to the fact that this adventure has become
contemporary again, something like a resurgence, the reappearance
of what had been eradicated and which is returning, transformed
but alive.” – Isabelle Stengers <br>
<br>
“Very important work has been done by Susana Caló and Godofredo
Pereira on the historical and visual reconstruction of a cultural
experiment whose practical and theoretical effects have not yet
been fully evaluated. – Franco ‘Bifo’ Berardi<br>
<br>
<b>Bios:</b> Susana Caló is an independent researcher and lecturer
at the Open University. Her research focuses on neglected radical
histories of psychiatry, exploring their intersections with wider
social, political and urban struggles, as well concepts’ social
and political lives. <br>
<br>
Godofredo Enes Pereira is an architect, theorist and environmental
activist. He is a senior researcher at the Royal College of Art.
His work investigates architecture’s role in the composition of
existential territories. <br>
