“This is where we move from law into politics”: Deleuze and user-groups

Abstract

This paper aims to define the role of the group-users idea within Deleuze's philosophy of law. To this end, it criticizes the hollow state of this concept in secondary literature, as well as its liberal-democratic reductionism. A criticism of the hilemorphic residues of legal thinking leads to retaking the implication between jurisprudence and user groups from Gilbert Simondon, who favors to learn the law as a theory of individuation operations, and Félix Guattari, the author of a theory of groups and institutions. This interlacement advances a user-groups’ definition as individual subjectivations, mobilized by precise problems, and singularities that emerge from meta-stable situations, which evolve within the operations of jurisprudence.

User-groups; Jurisprudence; Deleuze; Guattari; Simondon
