Abstract

What is a "body without organs"? Another difficult philosophical concept that we try to understand by referring to Antonin Artaud, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, and enjoying the passionate speech of Pietro Barbetta.

Theatre and Art come to help us. Once again, we are enchanted... Life is rhizomatic, Barbetta tells us in his... "rhizomatic" way, translating the rhizomes into clinical thought/action. We get lost in the noncompliance of rhizomatic reasoning…

We thank our beloved Prof. Pietro Barbetta, who spoke (twice) to the members of the Editorial Board: Dimitris Mouzas, Gianna Karanikolaou and Fani Triantafillou.
