Abstract
This article aims at demonstrating how, in the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, the replacement of the notion of “structure” by the notion of “desiring machine” radically modifies the understanding and practice of literature. A detailed study of the critical consequences of this conceptual shift on the interpretation of the works of Marcel Proust and Franz Kafka by Gilles Deleuze opens a new perspective on Deleuze's conception of the specificity of the relation between philosophy and literature. The notion of “desiring machine”—reinterpreted as a “collective assemblage of enunciation” in the Anti-Oedipus—leads to a new conception of language, society, power, and desire.
