One pointer Guattari gives with respect to the literature on 'institutional
pedagogy' is the book by René Lafitte, Une journeé dans une classe
coopérative: le désir retrouvé, (Syros, Paris, 1985). I've never read it but
maybe someone out has.
"Today our societies have their backs up against the wall; to survive they
will have to develop research, innovation and creation still further - the
very dimensions which imply an awareness of the strictly aesthetic
techniques of rupture and suture. Something is detached and starts to work
for itself, just as it can work for you if you can 'agglomerate' yourself to
such a process. Such requestioning concerns every institutional domain, e.g.
the classroom. How do you make a class operate like a work of art? What are
the possible paths to its singularisation, the source of a 'purchase on
existence' for the children who compose it?" (Chaosmosis, p.132/3).
Paul.
