Taylor Adkins of Theory Talk joins the show to explicate a seminar by Felix Guattari entitled “The Four Unconsciouses”. Taylor recently translated this seminar into English, which is available on his blog, Fractal Ontology. He has also recently translated a two-volume set of works by Gilbert Simondon. Individuation in Light of Notions of Form and Information I & II are available for purchase on University of Minnesota Press’ website. In the episode, we discuss the concepts of faciality, white walls, black holes, diagrams, tensors, and a host of other terms familiar to Guattari’s schizoanalysis. Simondon and Laruelle also appear variously throughout our discussion.
Taylor Adkins is a translator of French philosophy. He has translated influential books by Félix Guattari, such as Machinic Unconscious (Semiotext(e) 2010), and lesser known works by Jean-François Lyotard and François Laruelle. He’s a philosophy/theory blogger at Speculative Heresy and Fractal Ontology, and co-hosts the podcast Theory Talk with Joe Weissman.
