Hi everyone Sorry long time no record. I'm back with a reading of a recent article I did for BISH (my website aimed at a younger / general audience) about Foreplay. As I have done in the past, I'm reading it and then interjecting myself with further thoughts and ideas - this time explaining the Body Without Organs (BwO). Here's the article at BISH What Is Foreplay https://www.bishuk.com/sex/what-is-foreplay/ please share it around for to help alert the algorithm to its existence. If you look in the episode art you'll see a little drawing that might help you to understand the becoming, here it is from the BISH article too. https://i0.wp.com/www.bishuk.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/what-is-foreplay-bish-a-becoming.png?w=600&ssl=1 Through paying attention to the difference a thing makes (and the difference that difference makes) is how we unfold, or 'become', through time.

Tom Manning's 2018 graphic novel Eric is that rarest of gems: the self-published masterpiece. Available only on the author's website, it's the story of a washed-up surf rocker who stumbles into a cosmic conspiracy involving elite cultists, post-apocalyptic cowboys, renegade magicians, and three-eyed djinn. In this episode, Manning's work serves as a shining example of what makes comics such a unique and potent art form. There's no need to have read the book before listening—but know that you'll probably want to do when you're done. You're welcome.

Michel Maffesoli, sociologue émérite à la Sorbonne et auteur du livre (entre autre) Le temps des peurs (Éditions du Cerf).Il y a des conversations qui te font réaliser que des choses que tu observais confusément depuis des années ont un nom, une généalogie, une logique. C'est exactement ce qui s'est passé avec Michel. On se connaît depuis un moment, et à chaque fois qu'on se retrouve, j'ai l'impression qu'il me tend un miroir sur ce que je vois dans les entreprises sans réussir à le formuler clairement.Dans cet épisode, nous parlons du glissement silencieux qui est en train de recomposer le leadership, le rapport au travail, et même l'idée qu'on se fait du sens. J'ai questionné Michel sur la différence entre pouvoir et puissance, sur ce que le mot "travail" cache vraiment (et c'est assez brutal), sur pourquoi l'idéologie du soin peut conduire à la soumission, et sur ce qu'il entend par "enracinement dynamique" une expression qui m'a longtemps travaillé. On parle aussi de prophétie, d'écosophie, de tribus, et de ce que les patrons les plus lucides ont compris avant tout le monde.3. Citations marquantes"La peur de la mort n'empêche pas de mourir, mais empêche de vivre.""Vous n'obtiendrez de la compétence que si vous mettez l'accent sur l'appétence.""Ne plus perdre sa vie à la gagner. Voilà la sensibilité générale actuellement.""Le prophète ne dit pas avant. Il dit devant. C'est-à-dire, avec les autres, en réversibilité.""Le care, c'est protection-soumission. Je te protège, tu te soumets. Et ça conduit inéluctablement à son contraire."4. Big Ideas1. Le leader moderne est mort, vive le grand frère [00:38 - 04:28] La modernité a produit un leader vertical, celui qui sait et qui tire les autres vers lui. Ce modèle, dit Maffesoli, est structurellement épuisé. Ce qui émerge, c'est quelqu'un qui accompagne plutôt qu'il n'impose. Pas le père de la loi, mais le grand frère. L'autorité au sens latin du terme : autoritas, ce qui fait croître ce qui est déjà là. Pourquoi ça compte : des générations entières ne répondent plus aux structures pyramidales. Le chef qui "sait à la place" perd ses équipes avant même d'avoir commencé.2. Pouvoir vs puissance : le décalage qui produit des soulèvements [07:09 - 09:40] Maffesoli distingue le pouvoir institué (les institutions, l'État, les élites) et la puissance instituante (ce qui vient du bas, du vivant, du populaire). Les moments de crise ne sont pas des accidents : ils surviennent quand ces deux forces se désynchronisent trop longtemps. On y est. Pourquoi ça compte : les mobilisations sociales, les démissions massives, le "bore-out" ne sont pas des caprices. Ce sont des signaux de puissance qui cherche à s'exprimer sans trouver de cadre.3. Le tripalium : on a transformé un supplice en valeur [23:50 - 28:51] Le mot "travail" vient de tripalium, un instrument de torture romain. Jusqu'à la fin du XIXe siècle, travailler faisait déroger la noblesse. C'est Marx qui en a fait une valeur, reprise ensuite partout, y compris à droite. Pour Maffesoli, cette construction est en train de s'effondrer. Ce qui monte à sa place, c'est la créativité. Pourquoi ça compte : vouloir "redonner du sens au travail" en gardant le même mot et le même cadre, c'est repeindre les murs d'une maison qui brûle.4. Le prophète parle devant, pas avant [28:59 - 33:37] L'étymologie grecque de "prophète" (pro-phémi) ne signifie pas prédire l'avenir, mais parler devant les autres, avec eux, en interaction. Un prophète post-moderne, c'est quelqu'un qui renvoie du vécu commun plutôt qu'un savoir surplombant. Pourquoi ça compte : ce que les forums, les newsletters de niche, les communautés en ligne font naturellement, c'est ça. Ils "prophétisent" dans ce sens. Les médias mainstream, eux, ont tout faux.5. L'écosophie contre l'écologie [43:29 - 49:34] L'économie, c'est la loi de la maison. L'écologie, c'est le savoir sur la maison. L'écosophie, terme proposé après Guattari, c'est la sagesse de la maison commune. Pas un programme politique, pas un savoir expert. Une sensibilité. Ses voisins cévenols ne se réclament d'aucune idéologie verte, mais vivent cette écosophie chaque jour. Pourquoi ça compte : les entreprises qui intègreront cette dimension ne le feront pas par vertu mais parce que ça marche mieux, comme s'ajuster à un changement climatique.6. Homéopathiser le mal plutôt que le nier [34:44 - 40:41] Le carnaval, le bizutage, le duel au premier sang : autant de rituels que la modernité a voulu supprimer au nom de l'hygiène sociale. Aristote appelait ça la catharsis. Pour Maffesoli, une société qui refuse ses rituels de décharge transforme la violence en violence perverse. Pourquoi ça compte : l'obsession du risque zéro ne protège pas. Elle déplace. Ce qu'on voit dans les banlieues, dans les addictions, dans l'effondrement psychologique, c'est souvent la réponse du corps social à une asepsie forcée.5. Questions posées dans l'interviewPour toi, qu'est-ce qu'un leader? Et si tu devais remplacer ce mot anglais, tu dirais quoi en français?Comment distingues-tu concrètement le pouvoir de la puissance, et pourquoi ce décalage entre les deux produit-il des soulèvements?Est-ce que le "big quit" américain, le bore-out, la démotivation des équipes, c'est la puissance instituante qui cherche à s'exprimer?Tu parles d'appétence avant la compétence. Comment les chefs d'entreprise accueillent ce discours quand tu le leur tiens?Le mot "care", prendre soin, est très à la mode dans le management. Pourquoi tu t'y opposes?Quelle est la vraie étymologie du mot travail, et qu'est-ce que ça dit de notre rapport contemporain à l'emploi?Tu dis que le vrai prophète parle devant et non avant. Qu'est-ce que ça change concrètement dans la manière de diriger ou de communiquer?Comment tu définis l'écosophie, et en quoi elle diffère de l'écologie au sens politique du terme?Ce que tu appelles "enracinement dynamique", c'est une réponse à quoi exactement?L'entreprise a-t-elle un rôle à jouer dans la réinvention des imaginaires collectifs?6.

Timestamps clés (YouTube)00:13 - Le leader post-moderne n'impose pas, il accompagne De "sachant" à "grand frère" : Maffesoli introduit le glissement le plus profond du leadership contemporain. La modernité a valorisé celui qui sait et tire les autres. Ce qui émerge, c'est l'autorité au sens latin : faire croître ce qui est déjà là. La différence entre éducation (imposer) et initiation (accompagner).04:28 - Autorité vs autoritarisme : l'étymologie qui change tout Le mot autoritas vient du verbe "augere", faire croître. "Auteur" vient de là. Un bon auteur fait croître tes idées. Un bon leader fait croître ce qui est dans chacun. Maffesoli insiste : ce retour de l'autorité (pas de l'autoritarisme) est ce que les jeunes générations cherchent.07:09 - Pouvoir et puissance : le concept central Sa thèse d'État de 1978, l'idée de toute une vie. Le pouvoir institué (institutions, élites) et la puissance instituante (ce qui vient du bas). Une société équilibrée les tient ensemble. Quand elles se désynchronisent, les soulèvements commencent.12:17 - Appétence avant compétence : ce que les patrons commencent à comprendre Maffesoli résume son discours aux comités directeurs : vous n'obtiendrez de la compétence que si vous misez d'abord sur l'appétence. Prendre en compte le ludique, l'émotionnel, le festif. Google comme exemple. Un virage que les plus lucides ont déjà amorcé.23:50 - Le tripalium : le travail était un supplice Le mot "travail" vient d'un instrument de torture romain. Jusqu'à fin du XIXe, travailler faisait déroger la noblesse. Marx en a fait une valeur. Pour Maffesoli, cette valeur est historiquement très récente et déjà en train de s'effondrer. Ce qui monte : la créativité, faire de sa vie une œuvre d'art.28:59 - Le vrai prophète ne prédit pas, il parle devant Étymologie grecque de pro-phémi : dire devant, pas avant. Le prophète post-moderne, c'est celui qui échappe au conformisme logique et renvoie du vécu commun. Internet, les forums, les communautés font ça naturellement. Les médias officiels, de moins en moins.33:54 - Pourquoi le "care" peut mener à la soumission Maffesoli se positionne à contre-courant : le prendre soin aboutit logiquement à protection-soumission. Je te protège, tu te soumets. L'hygiénisme du pouvoir nie la finitude au lieu de la ritualiser. Ce qui provoque des excès et des violences perverses, faute de catharsis.43:29 - Écosophie : ni économie ni écologie, mais sagesse de la maison commune Distinction tranchante entre les trois mots. L'économie impose la loi. L'écologie prétend détenir le savoir. L'écosophie, elle, est une sensibilité. Ses voisins cévenols la vivent sans jamais prononcer le mot. C'est ce que les entreprises les plus subtiles commencent à intégrer.47:59 - Enracinement dynamique : la spirale contre la flèche Marx voulait qu'on se déracine de la glèbe pour être libre. La post-modernité, dit Maffesoli, c'est l'inverse : trouver de la force dans les racines. L'histoire n'est pas une flèche hégélienne mais une spirale. Ce qui revient n'est pas exactement ce qu'on avait quitté. Synergie de l'archaïque et du technologique.52:28 - Imaginaire, tribus et marketing des désirs L'imaginaire, ce sont les mythes, les fantasmes, les symboles qui constituent une société. Les entreprises qui le comprennent ne pensent plus en termes de besoin global mais de désirs de communautés. Le marketing des tribus, qu'il a théorisé dès Le temps des tribus, est l'application directe de ce glissement.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

What if following the clinical guideline is sometimes the wrong call? Not occasionally. In the kinds of MSK situations that come up regularly. That's the argument physiotherapy researcher Matt Low makes in Part 2 of this conversation, and it's worth sitting with.About Matt: Matt Low is a physiotherapy clinician and researcher based in the UK whose work sits at the intersection of philosophy, epistemics, and clinical practice. He asks uncomfortable questions about what physical therapy actually is and where it's going.In this episode:Why rigid guideline adherence can be an ethical problem, not a clinical safety net (SIJ fusion as a concrete case)How value-based care's four pillars create friction rather than harmony in practiceWhat AI is already doing to MSK services right now (Cambridge UK is procuring AI for MSK management today)Why ambient documentation tools change more than just note-takingThe contextual architect: what the PT role looks like when AI handles algorithmic pathwaysWhat decentering the human in PT curriculum would actually mean in practiceResources mentioned:Chad Cook's paper on value-based care in MSK practiceDave Nicholls' work on the future of physiotherapyDeleuze and Guattari (rhizome concept applied to clinical thinking)Part 1 of this conversationWant to keep developing this kind of reasoning? Modern Pain Pro is the community where clinicians work through exactly this.--> Trial for 15 daysIf this episode was useful, leaving a review helps more clinicians find it.*********************************************************************

The Fool, the zero card of the tarot, isn't a symbol of naïveté so much as a break from the system itself—a figure who stands both inside and outside the structures that try to define a life. Drawing on Byung-Chul Han, Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, and Plato, I explore the Fool as a different kind of subject—what I'm calling the ortovert: someone oriented toward autonomy and individuality without collapsing into individualism or rejecting the shared world altogether.Along the way, I think through the Fool's wandering, rhizomatic path, its resistance to optimization and forced belonging, and its connection to what Plato might call a kind of holy madness. And with David Abram in the background, I turn to the often-overlooked presence of the animal in the card, not as a minor detail but as something essential—a reminder that whatever freedom the Fool represents is not disembodied, but grounded in instinct, sensation, and a return to forms of life that aren't governed by constant performance or self-optimization.
This week Coop and Taylor discuss chapters 7, 8, and 9 of Moishe Postone's Time, Labor, and Social Domination. We discuss ties to our manuscript, Deleuze & Guattari, and Baudrillard.

CERFI – the Centre for Institutional Study, Research, and Training – wasn't your typical think tank. Co-founded by Félix Guattari, it set out to bring the disruptive insights of institutional psychotherapy into the heart of militant and professional organizing. Their wager? That every collective needs a form of analytic militancy: a way to navigate the unconscious forces that shape power, desire, and resistance from within.This was the birth of schizoanalysis outside of the clinical setting: a practice that shifts focus from the individual psyche to the collective assemblages that compose our lives. What are the deeper machinic drives shaping our actions? What forms of desire power our institutions? CERFI's work took these questions seriously, designing communal infrastructures, building popular research teams, and launching Recherches, a journal that amplified voices from revolutionary struggles, childcare centres, classrooms, psychiatric wards, and beyond. Analysis Everywhere dives into the rich archive of CERFI's radical experiments: conceptual, editorial, and lived. It invites us to imagine a practice where the unconscious isn't repressed but mobilized. Where analysis isn't an afterthought but a vital tool for political transformation.Susana Caló is an independent researcher and lecturer at the Open University. Her research focuses on neglected radical histories of psychiatry, exploring their intersections with wider social, political and urban struggles, as well concepts' social and political lives.Godofredo Enes Pereira is an architect, theorist and environmental activist. He is a senior researcher at the Royal College of Art. His work investigates architecture's role in the composition of existential territories.Support the showSupport the podcast:AHRCCurrent classes at Acid Horizon Research Commons (AHRC): acidhorizonresearchcommons.comAHRC Course Archive: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-course-archivesSubmit your course proposal: acidhorizonresearchcommons@gmail.comMore LinksWebsite: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastBoycott Watkins Media: https://xenogothic.com/2025/03/17/boycott-watkins-statement/Subscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438Merch: http://www.crit-drip.comSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast platform: https://pod.link/1512615438LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.comSplit Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/

In this solo episode of Psyche, I reflect on a provocative article by Manu Bazzano titled Against Integration. Bazzano challenges one of the deepest assumptions in modern psychotherapy—the idea that the goal of therapy is to integrate the self into a unified whole. Drawing on philosophical currents influenced by thinkers like Friedrich Nietzsche as well as Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, he invites us to consider whether the human psyche might be better understood as a multiplicity rather than a singular identity.In this episode, I explore why I find Bazzano's work so compelling while also sitting with the tension it creates for me as a practicing therapist. On one hand, I resonate deeply with the critique of reducing a person to a single, unified self. Anyone who has spent time in a therapy room knows that human beings are complex, contradictory, and often composed of multiple voices pulling in different directions.At the same time, I also wrestle with a practical question that emerges both in my own life and in the lives of my clients: is a radically multiple self actually livable? When identity becomes too fragmented, people often experience anxiety, instability, and the unsettling feeling that they are not really a self at all.Rather than choosing between the ideal of perfect integration and the chaos of pure multiplicity, I explore the possibility that psychological health might lie somewhere in between. Perhaps the task of therapy is not to eliminate our inner plurality but to learn how to negotiate among the different parts of ourselves—creating enough coherence to live meaningfully while still honoring the multiplicity that makes us human.This episode is less about settling the debate and more about dwelling inside the tension. Because sometimes the most important conversations in psychology are the ones that refuse to offer easy answers.

Matt Low, Consultant Physiotherapist at University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust, is one of the authors (along with Roger Kerry, Fiona H. Moffatt & David A. Nicholls) of the 2025 paper 'Physioethology: A Post-Humanist Perspective On Physiotherapy'. The paper argues that modern physiotherapy, and indeed all hands‑on MSK professions, still rely too heavily on a mechanical, human‑centred view of the body. Using ideas from philosopher Gilles Deleuze and psychoanalyst Félix Guattari, the authors propose “Physioethology,” which sees bodies as dynamic, relational, and shaped by interactions with people, environments, and non‑human factors. In this episode of the STA Clinician Podcast, Matt Low & Anna Maria Mazzieri, Director of the ST School and a PhD student at Health Sciences University, join host Matt Phillips to discuss elements of the 2025 paper, focusing on what bodies can do in context, and recognising affect, relationality and events as central to health. The discussion covers practical implications for manual therapists — from therapeutic room design and outdoor or community settings to seeing non‑human factors as part of care — and how small changes can broaden clinical impact. Listen now (or watch the live recording on YouTube) to reflect on the philosophical assumptions behind your practice, consider simple environment‑centred adjustments you can try now, and follow the episode notes for links to the open‑access paper and related resources.

Mercredi 28 janvier 2026SCIENCES HUMAINESDivenire rivoluzionari-e. Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari e noi |Roberto Ciccarelli in dialogo con Federica GiardiniDerive Approdi editoriNel centenario della nascita (1925) e nel trentennale della scomparsa (1995) di Gilles Deleuze, il libro di Roberto Ciccarelli propone una nuova lettura di uno dei filosofi più influenti al mondo e affronta in modo sistematico ciò che ha pensato con lo psicoanalista Félix Guattari. Dalla filosofia alla religione, dai media agli studi culturali, dal teatro all'architettura, dalla pittura al cinema e alla letteratura, il loro folgorante pensiero collettivo continua a produrre effetti. Questo libro permette di conoscerlo di nuovo attraverso un confronto appassionato con il dibattito che incrocia femminismo e pensiero queer, postcolonialismo e decolonialità, ecologia e politica. Il progetto è usare le idee de L'anti-Edipo o di Mille piani come una cassetta degli attrezzi utili per rispondere al trumpismo e all'offensiva reazionaria, mentre il fascismo muta pelle e ridiventa molecolare in un nuovo regime di guerra. Ciò avviene già dal titolo del libro che riprende il divenire rivoluzionari.e — un concetto elaborato in testi che parlano del futuro — e lo declina in una prospettiva trasversale ai dualismi di genere, alle gerarchie di classe e di razza, alle frontiere e alla proprietà. Anche quando le rivoluzioni falliscono, è possibile divenire rivoluzionari. e un'altra volta, nel tempo rovesciato che viviamo.Roberto Ciccarelli è giornalista del quotidiano «il manifesto» ed è ricercatore associato al Laboratoire d'études et de recherches sur les Logiques Contemporaines de la Philosophie dell'Università Parigi 8.
En este episodio, Jorge Diego conversa con Lios y Mac de Pālida Studios desde su estudio en Neza, CDMX, para entender cómo se construye una marca creativa que nace del barrio, la calle y la comunidad, y cómo esa energía se traduce a una colaboración con Nike alrededor del Air Max 95. Hablamos de su origen entre graffiti, dibujo, rap, paca y proyectos autogestionados; del momento en que el trabajo deja de ser solo activación y se vuelve estructura; y de lo que significa mantener la esencia cuando una plataforma internacional te presta el micrófono. Desde el “estado flujo” como narrativa hasta la exploración de materialidades tácticas para habitar la ciudad, Pālida comparte su proceso, sus aprendizajes —sobre todo no desconectarse de quién eres— y por qué su proyecto se entiende mejor como una red de relaciones humanas que como una etiqueta de “moda urbana”.Escucha este episodio si estás…• Armando una marca/proyecto creativo desde tu contexto y quieres mantenerlo auténtico.• Buscando cómo crear comunidad antes que “estructura perfecta”.• Interesadx en streetwear, upcycling, procesos DIY y construcción de prendas.• Curiosx por cómo se negocia identidad creativa al colaborar con una marca global.• Trabajando con narrativa, materialidad y función: ropa táctica para la ciudad.Show Notes y Links relacionados a este episodioObjeto favorito• Lios: libros de diseño.• Mac: sus audífonos.Recomendación• Lios: documental “Everythyng is a Remix” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7-DlOaCsjU + libro “El acto de Crear” de Rick Rubin https://www.amazon.com.mx/El-acto-crear-Rick-Rubin/dp/6073909004• Mac: “Un Cuerpo Sin Órganos” de Guattari y Deleuze https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_without_organsConsejo• Lios: Dejar de pensar como otras generaciones anteriores, y como humanos sensibilizarnos y conectar un poco más en colectivo.• Mac: La autenticidad, ser muy fiel a tus ideales, y hacer comunidad.Pālida Studios → [https://palida-studios.com/](https://palida-studios.com/)Sigue a Pālida Studios en Instagram → [https://www.instagram.com/palida_studios/](https://www.instagram.com/palida_studios/)• Faro de Oriente → [https://farooriente.org.mx/](https://farooriente.org.mx/)• La Esmeralda → [https://www.esmeralda.edu.mx/](https://www.esmeralda.edu.mx/)• Centro de Cultura Digital → [https://www.centroculturadigital.mx/](https://www.centroculturadigital.mx/)• Nike x Pálida → colaboración en cápsula con Air Max 95 [https://www.instagram.com/p/DVAOCkaE0uO/](https://www.instagram.com/p/DVAOCkaE0uO/)No te pierdas nuestros episodios, publicamos todos los Martes.Síguenos en: Instagram https://www.instagram.com/designaholic.mxFacebook https://www.facebook.com/designaholicmx/X https://x.com/designaholicmxSuscríbete a nuestro newsletter semanal “Las 5 de la Semana” aquí: https://embeds.beehiiv.com/b98191c1-e91e-4e8c-bf49-e4ff0603f851Nuestra página web es: http://designaholic.mxTambién te dejo mi cuenta personal donde además de publicar sobre mi estudio y los proyectos que hacemos, comparto mucho más sobre Arte, Arquitectura y Diseño.

Why do the most profound learning experiences often feel like getting lost in a good game?In this episode, Brian sits down with Christopher Icks, a philosopher, applied linguist, and experiential learning designer, to explore why "play" isn't just for kids—it's a vital engine for deep, transformative learning. From his work at the University of Oregon's CASTLES to his stewardship of Eugene's eclectic Resonance Building, Christopher reveals how we can design spaces and experiences that foster genuine connection, wayfinding, and what he calls "vital surplus."They dive into the tension between rigid institutional metrics and the messy, beautiful reality of how we actually learn. Get ready to question the classroom circle, embrace a little vertigo, and discover why a "Bring Your Own Puppet Party" might just be the future of professional development.
We're joined by Rosi Braidotti, Distinguished University Professor Emerita at Utrecht University and founding director of the Centre for the Humanities, for a wide-ranging conversation on posthumanism as both a philosophical project and a political orientation.Braidotti's work has constructed one of the most sustained and consequential accounts of what comes after the collapse of Eurocentric 'humanism.' The conversation traces the long arc from her early intervention on nomadic subjectivity, a materialist corrective to postmodernism's drift into linguistic relativism, through the ethical and ontological turn that her posthumanist project represents. Where poststructuralism gave us the critique of the subject as origin, nomadism gave us a subject that is grounded, embodied, multiple, and in motion.Central to the episode is the missing link in the American reception of French theory: the radical materialist tradition of Deleuze and Guattari, which diagnosed capitalism's schizophrenic logic (its ability to deterritorialize and adapt faster than any opposition) long before it became common sense. Braidotti traces the suppression of that critique through the French Communist Party's blacklists, the invention of "French theory" as an exportable product stripped of its political economy, and the consequences for a left that lost the ability to think technogenesis, cognitive capitalism, or the mutation of subjectivity under media saturation.The conversation then turns to fascism as concept rather than historical event: the philosophical move that Deleuze and Guattari made and that Foucault named in his preface to Anti-Oedipus. This allows Braidotti to connect micro-fascism (the cult of negativity, the eroticization of power-as-humiliation, the viral spread of impotence) to the coherent neo-fascist philosophical tradition running from Alain de Benoit through the Heritage Foundation and Budapest to Peter Thiel's Yale dissertation on sacrifice. While the left blocked its own analytical capacities, the right was doing serious philosophical work.Against all of this, Bradiotti proposes affirmative ethics: a Spinozist praxis of activating what a body can do. The episode ends thinking through scale, how affirmative ethics operates from the city to the planetary, and the urgency of the European federalist project as the only existing institutional attempt to participate in decisions about what we could possibly become.Some references:Rosi BraidottiPatterns of Dissonance, Polity Press, 1991Nomadic Subjects: Embodiment and Sexual Difference in Contemporary Feminist Theory, Columbia University Press, 1994Metamorphoses: Towards a Materialist Theory of Becoming, Polity Press, 2002Transpositions: On Nomadic Ethics, Polity Press, 2006The Posthuman, Polity Press, 2013Gilles Deleuze & Félix GuattariAnti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, 1972 (English trans. 1977, preface by Michel Foucault)A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, 1980Félix GuattariThe Three Ecologies, 1989 (English trans. 1991)Michel FoucaultPreface to the American edition of Anti-Oedipus, 1977SpinozaEthicsTheological-Political TreatiseAntonio NegriThe Savage Anomaly: The Power of Spinoza's Metaphysics and Politics, 1981Genevieve LloydPart of Nature: Self-Knowledge in Spinoza's Ethics, University of Minnesota Press, 1994Spinoza and the Ethics, Routledge, 1996Antonio DamasioDescartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain, 1994Looking for Spinoza: Joy, Sorrow, and the Feeling Brain, 2003Simone de BeauvoirThe Second Sex, 1949Frantz Fanon — mentioned in relation to decolonial thought and the anti-fascist generation Herbert MarcuseOne-Dimensional Man, 1964Eros and Civilization, 1955Rosa Luxemburg — cited as an ecological thinker; the dialogue with Lenin in Zurich narrated by Isaiah Berlin Isaiah Berlin — on Spinoza and radical enlightenment; on Rosa LuxemburgAltiero SpinelliThe Ventotene Manifesto, 1941 — founding document of the European federalist projectDonna Haraway"A Cyborg Manifesto," 1985VNS Matrix"A Cyberfeminist Manifesto for the 21st Century," 1991Alain de Benoist — neo-fascist philosopher, intellectual architect of the European New Right; cited as formative influence on Steve Bannon and the Heritage Foundation / Budapest / Rome foundation networksJulius Evola — philosopher of Italian fascism; cited alongside de Benoist as daily reference for BannonPeter Thiel — PhD dissertation on René Girard and the concept of sacrifice, Stanford / Yale; position papers on technological selection and extinction
In this special episode, host Peter Bauman (Le Random's editor in chief) speaks with Paul Seidler and Paul Kolling from art collective terra0 about their project Autonomous Forest (2025). They cover the nearly decade-long journey from white paper (2016) as university students to the project's NFT launch in December 2025.The collective shares how the original idea in the white paper mutated with projects like Flowertokens, Premna Deamon and now Autonomous Forest. They also cover why working through German law and smart contracts creates better frameworks than pure speculation, how the project evolved from startup pitches to nonprofit governance, and what it means to build living systems that exist outside economic (and human) exploitation.Monday's Le Random Editorial on "Standout Artwork of 2025"Thursday's Le Random Editorial: "Zero 10 Part 1: Beeple Casts a Spell" by Kevin BuistChapters:
Jack Z. Bratich chats about the concept of "microfascism," a term coined by Deleuze as part of their project of tracing “the genealogy and the permanence of certain fascist machineries” in order “to refuse to allow any fascist formula to slip by, on whatever scale it may manifest itself, including within the scale of the family or even within our own personal economy." Happy Thanksiving!The concept suggests that fascist impulses don't just come from "above" (authoritarian leaders) but can emerge from "below" in how people treat each other daily. Deleuze and Guattari believed everyone has some "fascist" potential—desires for domination, control, or submission. Bratich's work looks at the idea in the current context of MAGA, stochastic terrorism, and the manosphere.Buy his book On Microfascism: Gender, War, Death and Conspiracy Panics: Political Rationality and Popular Culture from Common Notions.3WF interview: https://threewayfight.org/antifascism-in-2025-shane-burley-interviews-xtn-alexander-and-matthew-n-lyons/Klaus Theweleit's Male Fantasies: https://monoskop.org/images/5/54/Theweleit_Klaus_Male_Fantasies_Vol_1_Women_Floods_Bodies_History.pdfSupport This Wreckage and join our Discord discussion by signing up to Patreon

In this episode of Psyche Podcast, I sit down with Erik Butler—the translator of Byung-Chul Han's Psychopolitics: Neoliberalism and the New Technologies of Power—to explore Han's piercing critique of our digital age. Together, we trace the book's philosophical roots in Foucault, Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Deleuze & Guattari, while unpacking Han's distinction between biopolitics and psychopolitics, his analysis of the “achievement society,” and the paradox of self-optimization in a world of constant surveillance.We dive into Han's provocative call to embrace “idiotism,” a radical form of individuality that resists neoliberal demands for self-display, and consider the religious and mystical threads that run through his thought. Erik also shares insights from his work as a translator, offering a behind-the-scenes look at Han's solitary life and difficult reputation, while we reflect on the book's surprising relevance nearly a decade after its release.Whether you're new to Han or already captivated by his writings, this conversation offers a lively and accessible entry point into one of the most urgent philosophical diagnoses of our time.

Dr. Jerome Corsi uncovers the hidden roots of today's culturally woke identity politics. Drawing from the anti-capitalist book Anti-Oedipus by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze and psychoanalyst Félix Guattari, along with Judith Butler's writings on Gender Theory, Dr. Corsi explains how these radical ideas shaped the Modern Left's obsession with identity politics, false realities, and rejection of objective truth. Highlights include:How Anti-Oedipus provided a blueprint for anti-capitalist cultural movementsThe influence of Judith Butler on gender ideology and the denial of biological realityHow Neo-Marxist ideas evolved into today's Woke groupthink and cultural MaoismWhy these theories fuel opposition to truth, freedom, and traditional values

In this episode, Phil and JF are joined by Meredith Michael—musicologist, podcaster, and Weird Studies production assistant—for a conversation about animal songs. The phrase is intentionally slippery. Are we talking about songs about animals, or songs by animals? Both, as it turns out. Beginning with three very different human compositions—The Beatles' “Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey,” Hovhaness's And God Created the Great Whales, and Björk's “Human Behavior”—the hosts discuss the roles animals play in human music, mythology, and mind. Along the way, they touch on Pink Floyd, the Beatles' trip to India, heroin addiction, the indeterminacy of singing and screaming, the messiness of inter-species communication, the discovery of whale song, the problem of (not) projecting humanness onto animals, the Book of Genesis, and the porous boundary between the human and non-human worlds. All that (and more) for two of the songs! Phil's pick will be explored in a forthcoming episode. Meredith Michael is a PhD candidate in Musicology at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. She is working on a dissertation about musical mythologies of outer space in the twentieth century. In her spare time she loves making art of all kinds, going for long walks, making friends with cats, and watching cartoons. Meredith hosts the Cosmophonia podcast with Gabriel Lubell.

Part 1 Anti-Oedipus by Gilles Deleuze Summary"Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia" is a foundational text in post-structuralist thought, co-authored by French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, published in 1972. The work critiques traditional Freudian psychoanalysis and incorporates concepts from Marxism, anthropology, and philosophy. Here's a summary of its main ideas:Rejection of Oedipus ComplexDeleuze and Guattari challenge the centrality of the Oedipus complex in understanding human psychology and social dynamics. They argue that this Freudian concept narrows the complexity of desire and reduces it to familial and sexual determinants.Desire as ProductiveThe authors propose that desire should be seen as a productive force rather than simply a lack or deficit. They coined the term "desiring-production" to describe the way desires create social and economic realities. Instead of repressing desires, societies channel and structure them through various institutions (family, state, capital).Capitalism and SchizophreniaThe title itself suggests a link between capitalism and schizophrenia as systems that disrupt conventional forms of organization. They argue that capitalism liberates desire by breaking down traditional social bonds but simultaneously re-imposes new forms of control. This paradox creates a schizophrenic state where individuals oscillate between freedom and constraint.Assemblages and MultiplicityDeleuze and Guattari introduce the concept of "assemblages"—a collection of heterogeneous elements that come together to form a whole. They emphasize a multiplicity of identities and desires that exist outside rigid categorizations, arguing against essentialist views of human nature.Anti-AuthoritarianismThroughout the text, there's an anti-authoritarian sentiment. They encourage a radical rethinking of societal structures and promote the idea of reforming anything that confines desire—ranging from family units to the state and capitalist economies.SchizoanalysisInstead of psychoanalysis, they propose "schizoanalysis" as a method for understanding desire and social relationships. Schizoanalysis aims to liberate desire from societal constraints and explore how it interacts with broader social and economic forces. Conclusion"Anti-Oedipus" serves as a manifesto for rethinking desire, identity, and power in contemporary societies. It challenges readers to consider how psychoanalysis can be expanded beyond family dynamics to encompass a broader understanding of desire's role in shaping both individual subjectivity and societal structure. This work laid the foundation for further exploration of these themes in their subsequent collaboration, "A Thousand Plateaus." Overall, "Anti-Oedipus" invites a radical rethinking of how desire functions within capitalism and opens the door to new ways of conceptualizing human interaction and social organization.Part 2 Anti-Oedipus AuthorGilles Deleuze was a French philosopher born on January 18, 1925, and he passed away on November 4, 1995.

In this installment of The Anti-Oedipus Files, we welcome translator and theorist Taylor Adkins for a wide-ranging conversation on Lacan's “Position of the Unconscious.” Beginning with a historical primer, we trace Lacan's fraught institutional legacy and his confrontation with psychoanalytic orthodoxy. From the topology of the lamella to the philosophical rift between Guattari and Lacan, we explore the transformations of subjectivity, desire, and analytic practice. Taylor also shares insights into his collaborations on Machinic Unconscious Happy Hour and the broader landscape of Deleuze and Guattari studies.Finish the discussion here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/lamella-and-on-130562986?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkSupport Machinic Unconscious Happy Hour: https://www.patreon.com/muhhBack Vintagia Today: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/acidhorizon/vintagia-i-ching-oracle-for-psychogeographers-and-creativesSupport the showVintagia Pre-Launch: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/acidhorizon/vintagia-i-ching-oracle-for-psychogeographers-and-creatives Support the podcast:https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcast Boycott Watkins Media: https://xenogothic.com/2025/03/17/boycott-watkins-statement/ Join The Schizoanalysis Project: https://discord.gg/4WtaXG3QxnSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438Merch: http://www.crit-drip.comSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438 LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.comRevolting Bodies (Will's Blog): https://revoltingbodies.comSplit Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/

In this episode, philosopher Henry Somers-Hall helps us unravel Deleuze and Guattari's enigmatic claim that capitalism is an axiomatic system. Drawing from Kant, set theory, and the metaphysics of representation, we explore how capital binds and rebinds flows—subjects, territories, even revolt itself. Together we ask: what becomes of revolution when even resistance can be axiomatized?Henry's paper: https://henrysomershall.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/somers-hall-binding-and-axiomatics.pdfSupport the showVintagia Pre-Launch: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/acidhorizon/vintagia-i-ching-oracle-for-psychogeographers-and-creatives Support the podcast:https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcast Boycott Watkins Media: https://xenogothic.com/2025/03/17/boycott-watkins-statement/ Join The Schizoanalysis Project: https://discord.gg/4WtaXG3QxnSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438Merch: http://www.crit-drip.comSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438 LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.comRevolting Bodies (Will's Blog): https://revoltingbodies.comSplit Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/
This week Taylor spoke with John Protevi about his recently published book, Regimes of Violence: Toward a Political Anthropology. John is professor of French studies and philosophy at Louisiana State University. He is author of Political Affect; Life, War, Earth; and Edges of the State, all published by the University of Minnesota Press. Book Summary: A wide-ranging examination of the roots—and possible future—of violence in human societies Is aggression inevitable among humans? In Regimes of Violence, John Protevi explores how human violence originates and exists in our societies. Taking humans as biocultural (that is, our social practices shape our bodies and minds), he shows how aggression does not arrive from any purely biological predisposition but rather occurs only in social regimes of violence that, by manipulating the ways in which culture can shape our biological inheritance of rage and aggression, condition the forms of violence able to be expressed at any one time. Offering detailed insights into human aggression throughout history, Protevi's analysis ranges from evolutionary psychology to affective ideology and finally to an alternate politics of joy. He examines a wide range of seemingly disparate topics, such as cooperation between early nomadic foragers, organized sports, berserkers and blackout rages, the experiences of maroons escaping slavery, the January 6 invasion of the United States Capitol building, and responses to the Covid-19 pandemic. As he entwines the philosophical with the anthropological, he asks readers to consider why humans' capacity for cooperation and sharing is so persistently overlooked by stories that focus on aggression and warfare. Regimes of Violence is an important contribution to studies of Deleuze and Guattari, uniquely combining cutting-edge investigations in psychology, history, evolutionary theory, cultural anthropology, and philosophy to examine the “political philosophy of the mind.” Presenting to readers a refreshingly optimistic perspective, Protevi demonstrates that we are not doomed to war and argues that humans can build a world based on antifascism, joy, and mutual empowerment.

What happens when the ego fails to form a symbol? In this episode of Acid Horizon, we're joined by Dr. Ben Morsa, a clinical psychologist and psychoanalytic thinker working at the intersection of queer theory, neurodiversity, and mental health. Together, we dive into Melanie Klein's pivotal essay The Importance of Symbol Formation, examining how sadism, fantasy, and ego development shape our early psychic life. We explore Klein's controversial case of “Dick” and how her analysis anticipates modern discussions of autism, while also considering the implications of her work through the lens of Deleuze and Guattari. Dr. Morsa offers critical insight into the enduring tensions between diagnosis, subjectivity, and the symbolic order—and asks whether the failure to symbolize might offer a form of resistance rather than pathology. This episode is a rich synthesis of psychoanalysis, philosophy, and the radical potentials of care.Connect with Ben's work: www.tidepools.orgSupport the showSupport the podcast:https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcast Boycott Watkins Media: https://xenogothic.com/2025/03/17/boycott-watkins-statement/ Join The Schizoanalysis Project: https://discord.gg/4WtaXG3QxnSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438Merch: http://www.crit-drip.comSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438 LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.comRevolting Bodies (Will's Blog): https://revoltingbodies.comSplit Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/
