'''Pierre-Félix Guattari''' ([[April 30]], [[1930]] – [[August 29]], [[1992]]) was a [[France|French]] [[militant]], institutional [[psychotherapist]] and [[philosopher]], a founder of both [[schizoanalysis]] and [[ecosophy]]. Guattari is best known for his intellectual collaborations with [[Gilles Deleuze]], most notably ''[[Anti-Oedipus]]'' (1972) and ''[[A Thousand Plateaus]]'' (1980).

==HistoryBiography==

=== Clinic of La Borde ===

{{main|History of Tallahassee, Florida}}

Born in Villeneuve-les-Sablons, [[Oise]], [[France]].{{Fact|date=February 2007}} Guattari was encouraged by psychiatrist [[Jean Oury]] towards the practice of [[psychiatry]], becoming impassioned from 1950 towards that field.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} Due to his frustrations with the theories and methods of French [[psychoanalyst]] [[Jacques Lacan]] — who both taught and analysed Guattari in the 1950s – Guattari became convinced that he needed to continue exploring as vast an array of domains as possible ([[philosophy]], [[ethnology]], [[linguistics]], [[architecture]], etc.,) in order to better define the orientation, delimitation and psychiatric efficacy of the practice. Guattari would later proclaim that psychoanalysis is "the best [[capitalist]] drug" because in it desire is confined to a couch: desire, in Lacanian psychoanalysis, is an energy that is contained rather than one that, if freed, could militantly engage itself in something different. He continued this research, collaborating in Jean Oury's private clinic of [[La Borde clinic|La Borde]] at Court-Cheverny, one of the main centers of institutional psychotherapy at the time. La Borde was a venue for conversation amongst innumerable students of philosophy, psychology, ethnology, and [[social work]]. La Borde was Félix Guattari's principal anchoring until he died of a heart attack in [[1992]].

The name "Tallahassee" is a [[Muskogean languages|Muskogean]] Indian word often translated as "old fields," or "old town." This likely stems from the [[Creek (people)|Creek]] (later called [[Seminole (tribe)|Seminole]]) Indians that migrated from Georgia and Alabama into this region during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Upon arrival, they found large areas of cleared lands that had previously been occupied by the [[Apalachee]] tribe.

=== 1960s to 1970s ===

During the [[1600s]], several Spanish missions were established in the [[Apalachee Province|territory of the Apalachee]] with the aim of procuring food and labor for the colony at [[St. Augustine, Florida|St. Augustine]]. The largest of these, [[Mission San Luis de Apalachee]], has been partially reconstructed by the state of Florida.

From 1955 to 1965, Félix Guattari animated the [[trotskyist]] group ''Voie Communiste'' ("Communist Way"). He would then support [[anticolonialist]] struggles as well as the Italian ''[[Autonomists]]''. Guattari also took part in the movement of the psychological G.T., which gathered many psychiatrists at the beginning of the sixties and created the Association of Institutional Psychotherapy in November [[1965]]. It was at the same time that he founded, along with other militants, the F.G.E.R.I. (Federation of Groups for Institutional Study & Research) and its review research, working on philosophy, mathematics, psychoanalysis, education, architecture, ethnology, etc. The F.G.E.R.I. came to represent aspects of the multiple political and cultural engagements of Félix Guattari: the Group for Young Hispanics, the Franco-Chinese Friendships (in the times of the popular communes), the opposition activities with the wars in [[Algerian War of Independence|Algeria]] and Vietnam, the participation in the M.N.E.F., with the U.N.E.F., the policy of the offices of psychological academic aid (B.A.P.U.), the organisation of the University Working Groups (G.T.U.), but also the reorganizations of the training courses with the Centers of Training to the Methods of Education Activities (C.E.M.E.A.) for psychiatric male nurses, as well as the formation of Friendly Male Nurses (Amicales d'infirmiers) (in [[1958]]), the studies on architecture and the projects of construction of a day hospital of for "students and young workers".

[[Image:Florida_Capital.JPG|thumb|200px|left|Florida Capital Building]]

Prior to the arrival of Spanish missionaries, the first European to visit Tallahassee was the Spanish explorer, [[Hernando de Soto (explorer)|Hernando de Soto]], who spent the winter of [[1538]]-[[1539]] encamped at the Apalachee village of [[Anhaica]]. Based on archaeological excavations, this site is now known to have been located about one-half mile east of the present Florida capitol building,

Guattari was involved in the [[events of May 1968]], starting from the [[Movement of March 22]]. It was in the aftermath of 1968 that Guattari met [[Gilles Deleuze]] at the [[University of Vincennes]] and began to lay the ground-work for the soon to be infamous ''[[Anti-Oedipus]]'' (1972), which [[Michel Foucault]] described as "an introduction to the non-fascist life" in his preface to the book. Throughout his career it may be said that his writings were at all times correspondent in one fashion or another with sociopolitical and cultural engagements. In 1967, he appeared as one of the founders of OSARLA (Organization of solidarity and Aid to the Latin-American Revolution). It was with the head office of the F.G.E.R.I. that he met, in [[1968]], [[Daniel Cohn-Bendit]], [[Jean-Jacques Lebel]], and [[Julian Beck]]. In [[1970]], he created C.E.R.F.I. (Center for the Study and Research of Institutional Formation), which takes the direction of the Recherches review. In 1977, he created the CINEL for "new spaces of freedom" before joining in the 1980s the [[ecological]] movement with his "[[ecosophy]]".

From [[1821]] through [[1845]], the rough hewn frontier capital gradually grew into a town during Florida's territorial period.

In 1845, a greek revival masonry structure was erected in time for statehood and eventually become known as the "old Capitol" which stand in front of the current new capitol high rise today. [http://www.cfhf.net/maps/1839.htm]

=== 1980s to 1990s ===

During the [[American Civil War]], Tallahassee was the only Confederate state capital east of the [[Mississippi River|Mississippi]] not captured by Union forces.

In his last book, ''Chaosmose'' ([[1992]]), the topic of which is already partially developed in ''What is Philosophy?'' (1991, with Deleuze), Félix Guattari takes again his essential topic: the question of subjectivity. "How to produce it, collect it, enrich it, reinvent it permanently in order to make it compatible with mutant Universes of value?" This idea returns like a leitmotiv, from ''Psychanalyse and transversality'' (a regrouping of articles from [[1957]] to [[1972]]) through ''Années d'hiver'' ([[1980]] - [[1986]]) and ''Cartographies Schizoanalytique'' ([[1989]]). He insists on the function of "a-signification", which plays the role of support for a subjectivity in act, starting from four parameters: "significative and [[semiotic]] flows, Phylum of Machinic Propositions, Existential Territories and Incorporeal Universes of Reference."

Following the Civil War, much of Florida's industry shifted to the south and east, a trend that continues to this day. The end of [[slavery]] caused the cotton and tobacco trade to suffer, and the state's major industry shifted to citrus, naval stores, cattle ranching, and even tourism, all of which occurred to the south and east due to climate and geography.

In 1995, the posthumous release ''Chaosophy'' featured Guattari's first collection of essays and interviews focuses on the French anti-psychiatrist and theorist's work as director of the experimental La Borde clinic and collaborator of philosopher Gilles Deleuze. ''Chaosophy'' is a groundbreaking introduction to Guattari's theories on "schizo-analysis", a process meant to replace [[Sigmund Freud]]'s interpretation with a more pragmatic, experimental, and collective approach rooted in reality. Unlike Freud, Guattari believes that [[schizophrenia]] is an extreme mental state co-existent with the capitalist system itself. But capitalism keeps enforcing [[neurosis]] as a way of maintaining normality. Guattari's post-Marxist vision of capitalism provides a new definition not only of mental illness, but also of micropolitical means of subversion. It includes key essays such as "Balance-Sheet Program for Desiring Machines," cosigned by Deleuze (with whom he coauthored Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus), and the provocative "Everybody Wants To Be a Fascist."

Throughout much of the 20th century, Tallahassee remained a government and college town, where politicians would meet to discuss spending money on grand public improvement projects to accommodate growth in places such as Miami and Tampa Bay, hundreds of miles away from the capital. By the [[1960s]], there was a movement to move the capital to Orlando, closer geographically to the growing population centers of the state. That motion was defeated, however, and the 1970s saw a long term commitment by the state to the capital city with construction of the new capitol complex and preservation of the old capitol building.

''Soft Subversions'' is another collection of Félix Guattari's essays, lectures, and interviews traces the militant anti-psychiatrist and theorist's thought and activity throughout the 1980s ("the winter years"). Concepts such as "micropolitics," "schizoanalysis," and "becoming-woman" open up new horizons for political and creative resistance in the "postmedia era." Guattari's energetic analyses of art, cinema, youth culture, economics, and power formations introduce a radically inventive thought process engaged in liberating subjectivity from the standardizing and homogenizing processes of global capitalism.

In recent years, Tallahassee has seen an uptick in growth, mainly in government and research services associated with the state and [[Florida State University]].

Tallahassee is located at {{coor dms|30|27|6|N|84|16|22|W|city}} (30.451800, -84.272770){{GR|1}}. According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the city has a total area of 254.5 [[km²]] (98.2 [[square mile|mi²]]). 247.9 km² (95.7 mi²) of it is land and 6.6 km² (2.5 mi²) of it (2.59%) is water.

*''Molecular Revolution: Psychiatry and Politics'' (1984). Trans. Rosemary Sheed. Selected essays from ''Psychanalyse et transversalité'' (1972) and ''La révolution moléculaire'' (1977).

Tallahassee is noted for its hilly terrain, and the state capitol is located on one of the highest hills in the city. The elevation varies from near sea level to 190 feet in places. The flora and fauna are more typical of that found in the mid-south and low country regions of [[South Carolina]] and [[North Carolina]]. Although palm trees do grow in the city, they are limited to the more cold-hardy varieties such as the state tree, the [[Sabal Palm|Sabal Palmetto]]. Pines and oaks are the dominant trees. Summers in Tallahassee are typically hotter than in the rest of peninsular Florida, and it is one of the few cities in the state to occasionally record temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38°C). The average summertime high temperature is 92°F(32°C). Conversely, the city is much cooler in the winter. In December and January, the average high temperature is 64°F(18°C) and the average low is 42°F(6°C). On occasion, the temperatures fall into the 20s and teens at night, and during some extreme occasions temperatures in the single digits have been recorded. Tallahassee recorded the state's lowest temperature of -2°F (-20° C), on [[February 13]], [[1899]]. Over the last 100 years, the city has also recorded several snowfalls, the heaviest of which was 3 inches on [[February 13]], [[1958]]. Historically, the city usually records at least observed flurries once every four years, but on average, measurable amounts of snow (1" or more) occur only once every 15 years. The natural snow line (regular yearly snow falls) ends 200 miles to the north at [[Macon, Georgia]]. Springtime is the most pronounced season, with citywide blooms of [[azalea]] and [[dogwood]] occurring in late February and early March. Autumn is not as pronounced as it is farther north, but fall foliage can be seen from mid-November to mid-December. Tallahassee has the widest range of temperatures from summer to winter in all of Florida, and experiences seasonal weather.{{fact}}

==Urban planning and expansion==

*Gary Genosko, ''Félix Guattari: An Aberrant Introduction'' (2002).

The first plan for the Capitol Center was the 1947 Taylor Plan, which consolidated several of the government buildings in one downtown area. In 1974, the Capitol Center Planning Commission for the City of Tallahassee, FL responded to the growth of its urban center with a conceptual plan for the expansion of its Capitol Center. [[Hisham Ashkouri]], working for [[The Architects' Collaborative]], led the urban planning and design effort. Estimating growth and related development for approximately the next 25 years, the program projected the need for 213,677 [[m²]] (2.3 million [[feet²]]) of new government facilities in the city core, with 3,500 dwelling units, 0.4 [[km²]] (100 acres) of new public open space, retail and private office space, and other ancillary spaces. Community participation was an integral part of the design review, welcoming Tallahassee residents to provide input as well as citizens’ groups and government agencies, resulting in the creation of six separate Design Alternatives. The best elements of these various designs were combined to develop the final conceptual design, which was then incorporated into the existing Capitol area and adjacent areas.

*Gary Genosko (ed.), ''Deleuze and Guattari: Critical Assessments of Leading Philosophers, Volume 2: Guattari'' (2001).

Available land to the North was used for new Government and private development, with vacant and underused sites along Adams, Monroe and Tennessee Street used for new construction. Overhead “Air-Rights” passages connect Government buildings across streets and public easements, increasing their communication and efficiency. The Central Business District area contains public and private offices intermixed with medium density housing areas, with community facilities, galleries, specialty shops, and restaurants to encourage use of the area on a 24-hour basis.

Located behind the Capitol Building, a seven-block section of Adams Street was closed to through traffic to become a wide pedestrian mall, with a Government plaza containing the City Hall, County Courthouse, and House of Representatives on its Southern end, and the Governor’s Mansion and The Grove to the North. Buildings with early 20th Century facades were preserved as retail spaces, creating a downtown shopping mall area with sidewalk bazaars, outdoor cafes, exhibition areas and an outdoor bandstand. Green spaces were enhanced and extended, connecting the government center with the two local universities.
