초록

This transversal and transdisciplinary thought-experiment aims to explore the following: 1) in and through specific fragments of literature to explicate upon the complicated notion of the Body without Organs (BwO); 2) to present a reconsideration of the idea of love in Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy; and 3) through several instances of science fiction to map out an ontology and ecosophy of machinic desire or eros. The examples of construable science fiction which have been chosen are Tong Enzheng’s The Death of the World's First Robot; and Félix Guattari's film screenplay A Love of UIQ. These have been chosen as they explore in their way the possibility of inhuman or nonhuman forms of love. We shall also reflect on the possibility and nature of the neologism – the machine without organs (MwO) – that is to say, a sense of robot or machinic love beyond the collapsed or exhausted body without organs. The MwO is invoked to question the limits of explanation of the BwO in the post-human milieu. The focus on the MwO connects with Tong Enzheng's fourth law of robotics: A robot may not fall in love.
