Gilles Deleuze on Félix Guattari’s Animism, Living Machines, and Sigmund Freud’s Puppet

Computer technologies such as Siri or Alexa often appear as living agents. Against this background, Deleuze discusses the machinic animism of the late Guattari and witnesses a spectacular resurrection of Sigmund Freud! Meanwhile the founder of psychoanalysis explains the animist structure of the childhood mind, referring to the life of puppets as the prime example. Have fun!
