Abstract
Deleuzian postulates are located within the context of Deleuze and Guattari’s contemporaries, especially Foucault and Bergson. It was these thinkers’ move away from Cartesian thought and towards a Spinozian paradigm, as encouraged by Deleuze and Guattari, that created a setting appropriate for the practice of social dreaming. This shift in thinking was a refocusing on the process and affective aspects of thought as opposed to its interpretation in terms of linearity, of cause and effect.
