Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct option is B and C only.

Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s seminal work, Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia (published in 1972), is a landmark text in continental philosophy that critique-fuses two primary theoretical paradigms: Poststructuralism (represented by Option B) and Psychoanalysis (represented by Option C).
Let us explore why these two paradigms form the core of the text's theoretical framework:

1. Psychoanalysis (Option C): The text is fundamentally a critique of traditional Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis, particularly the Oedipus complex. Deleuze and Guattari argue that psychoanalysis family-izes and internalizes desire, confining it within the familial structure (mother-father-me). Instead, they propose "schizoanalysis," which views desire as a productive, social force (desiring-machines) that connects directly to the wider social, political, and economic field rather than just familial dynamics.

2. Poststructuralism (Option B): Deleuze and Guattari are key figures of poststructuralist thought. Anti-Oedipus employs poststructuralist methods by destabilizing fixed structures of subjectivity, language, and meaning. It rejects grand narrative totalities and instead emphasizes multiplicity, decentralization, flow, and the fragmentation of the unified subject (the "schizo" as a model of resistance against rigid systemic coding).

While the book is also deeply concerned with capitalism and draws heavily on Marxist concepts (such as production, alienation, and class structures), the underlying theoretical synthesis that constructs its unique philosophical methodology is the radical deconstruction of Psychoanalysis through a Poststructuralist lens. Therefore, the combination of Poststructuralism and Psychoanalysis (B and C) is the most accurate description of the core theoretical paradigms fused in the text.
