The Encounter between Guattari and Berardi and the Post-Media Era

Felix and Alice in Wonderland: The Encounter between Guattari and Berardi and the Post-Media Era
by Michael Goddard

This is not to say that Guattari’s post-media era has nothing to do with network culture, whose development can certainly be seen to realise and confirm some aspects of the rhizomatic, machinic thought Guattari developed alone and with Gilles Deleuze. Rather this link will be shown to be more complex and to pass via other fields of media experimentation and thought, especially that which emerged around ‘popular free radio’ in Italy in the 1970’s and which was strongly associated with Guattari’s friend Franco Berardi or Bifo.
