| 2019-Sep-21 • 44 minutes Jean Baudrillard's "The Spirit of Terrorism" Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy... | In this one, we turn to Baudrillard's infamous "The Spirit of Terrorism." This text gained him some notoriety because of his repudiation of Western global power and seeming exaltation of terrorism. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 52 minutes Paul Virilio's "Open Sky" Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I turn to Virilio's open sky, a key text to understanding some of his central concepts and concerns. I'm rather hard on Virilio in this one, and I look forward to anyone disagreeing with me for that reason. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 48 minutes Jean Baudrillard's "Impossible Exchange" (Part 2/2) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy... | In this episode, I continue my presentation of this text paying close attention to Baudrillard's consideration of destiny, artificial intelligence and radical theory. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 52 minutes Jean Baudrillard's "Impossible Exchange" (Part 1/2) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I tackle Baudrillard's "Impossible Exchange." This text is necessary to understand some of his developed concerns regarding death, cloning and immortality, each of which has undergone a radical overhaul in the contemporary world. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 46 minutes Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari's "Anti Oedipus" (Chapter 4/4) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this final episode we are presented with schizoanalysis as a radical alternative to psychoanalysis. They are that schizoanalysis meets the ontological parameters of existence--being comprised of machines--and compels one to think not of themselves in terms of an overarching oedipal narrative, but rather to consider themselves as a machine among other machines. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 55 minutes Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari's "Anti Oedipus" (Chapter 3/4) In this episode, I take a stab at the 3rd (of 4) chapters from Anti-Oedipus. It is in this chapter that they present a historical overview of Oedipus' retroactive intervention in every epistemic paradigm. To this intervention, they charge that Oedipus is but a stranger in those fields, unable to actually present a meaningful solution to the apparent 'problems' found in those fields. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 47 minutes Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari's "Anti-Oedipus" (Chapter 2/4) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I dive into the second (of four) chapters of Anti-Oedipus. It is here that they level their strongest critique of Oedipus and Freudian psychoanalysis while proposing an alternative way by which to understand the world: through syntheses. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 45 minutes Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari's "Anti-Oedipus" (Chapter 1/4) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I begin my dissection of Deleuze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus, an enigmatic book to say the least. In this chapter we're presented with their conception of desiring-machines that opposes the totalizing framework of the Oedipal complex. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 57 minutes Sigmund Freud's "Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego" Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy ... *NOTE* I don't think I did justice to Freud's discussion of neurosis towards the end. I'll have to save that for another episode. In this episode, I turn to Freud's work and his consideration of groups and the ego. In this book, Freud takes aim at the historical understanding of groups as a regressive phenomenon that, he argues, fails to recognize the role of the libido (love) in group formations. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 35 minutes Jean Baudrillard's "Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared" Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, we ask the haunting title's question. What does it mean to disappear? Is disappearance a recourse to nihilism or to some new possibility? I try to answer these questions by contextualizing this book within Baudrillard's overarching projects. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 43 minutes Jean Baudrillard's "The Agony of Power" Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I turn my attention to Baudrillard's "The Agony of Power." This one clarifies Baudrillard's position on power, locating it within the domain of hegemony as opposed to domination. The former presents a much more pernicious mode of oppression for Baudrillard because of its transparency and its illusion of democratic egalitarianism. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 59 minutes Sara Ahmed's "Queer Phenomenology" Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I turn my attention to Sara Ahmed's "Queer Phenomenology." This book can be regarded as Ahmed's attempt to perform a queering of phenomenology while simultaneously sketching what a queer phenomenology might look like. To do this, she traverses through the phenomenological tradition to craft her own version of phenomenology and then apply them to the domains of race and sexuality. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 48 minutes Herbert Marcuse's "One-Dimensional Man" (Part 2/2) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy... | In this episode, I finish my exploration of "One-Dimensional Man" by tracing Marcuse's take on the role of philosophy in late Capitalist society. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 51 minutes Herbert Marcuse's "One-Dimensional Man" (Part 1/2) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I turn my attention to the Frankfurt school giant, Herbert Marcuse and his "One-Dimensional Man." Marrying Marxism with Freudian psychoanalysis, Marcuse constructs an eloquent challenge to the tenets of late capitalism as relevant today as it was in the mid-twentieth century. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 39 minutes David Golumbia's "The Cultural Logic of Computation" Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy This... this episode I take up David Golumbia's book, "The Cultural Logic of Computation." Pairing the post-structuralist theoretical tradition with media theory, Golumbia takes aim at the systematic attempts to computationalize humanity. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 67 minutes Jean Baudrillard's "The Illusion of the End" Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy This... text, a marker of what some call the late Baudrillard, presents some of Baudrillard's concerns for the age of simulation. From nuclear destruction to disease to disappearance, he leaves no theoretical stone unturned. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 57 minutes Rosi Braidotti's "The Posthuman" Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I turn my focus of posthumanism and Braidotti's seminal text, "The Posthuman." Braidotti's brand of posthumanism is a Deleuzian one, seeing the potential of becoming and deterritorialization to oppose the oppressive logic of commodification and identity in late capitalism. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 59 minutes Friedrich Nietzsche "On The Genealogy of Morality" Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I try to present a coherent thread through Nietzsche "On the Genealogy of Morality." While it may easily be argued that Nietzsche dissuades any methodical reading of his work, I try to contextualize his arguments within the broader theme of the book and bring his ideas into the 21st century |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 35 minutes Mary Beard's "Women and Power" Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I present Mary Beard's "Women & Power." The strength of Beard's text is her genealogical account of women being silenced throughout our history. I also try to simultaneously justify and challenge some of the liberal feminist notions that are present in this text. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 44 minutes Jean Baudrillard's "The Transparency of Evil" Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode I tackles Baudrillard's enigmatic text, "The Transparency of Evil." I try to contextualize some of his more difficult claims within the broader spectrum of his work in order to construct a clear portrait of his project here. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 38 minutes Michel Foucault's "The History of Sexuality Vol. 2" (Part 3/3) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I finish my dissection of the second volume to the History of Sexuality. In this episode, we get a glimpse of Foucault's excavation of Greek sexual customs and the subsequent emergence of individuality and subjectivity. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 49 minutes Michel Foucault's "The History of Sexuality Vol. 2" (Part 2/3) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I continue my exploration of "The Use of Pleasure," the second volume to "The History of Sexuality" series. In this episode I take aim at the second and third sections, Dietetics and Economics respectively. In these sections we get a glimpse at Foucault's consideration of the Greek regimen around sexuality |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 50 minutes Michel Foucault's "The History of Sexuality Vol. 2" (Part 1/3) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this part, we move to the second volume of the History of Sexuality. In this books, Foucault extends his temporal scope of sexuality to go as far back as the Greeks. Foucault does this for a number of reasons but may, I believe, be understood primarily as his move to dissuade the argument that asceticism, or the control of sexuality, is a phenomenon rooted in the 17th and 18th centuries. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 44 minutes Bent Flyvbjerg's "Making Social Science Matter" Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I take a detour into Flyvbjerg's "Making Social Science Matter," a text written nearly twenty years ago but is as relevant as ever given the current assault on the Social Sciences and Humanities in academia |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 71 minutes Ivan Illich's "Deschooling Society" (Part 2/2) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy... | In this episode, Andrew and I continue our exploration of Illich's "Deschooling Society," setting our focus on the idea of an Epimethean Accelerationism. |

| 2019-Sep-21 • 65 minutes Michel Foucault's "The History of Sexuality Vol.1" (Part 1/2) Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/theoryan... this episode, I begin my exploration of Foucault's brilliant exploration of that slippery concept called sexuality. In this one, I present Foucault's move away from the repressive hypothesis to theorize the way that the proliferation of sexuality marks the contemporary oppressive strategy. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 52 minutes Jean Baudrillard's "The Perfect Crime" (Part 2/2) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy Silly... Mistake: I meant to say James Baldwin, the African-American activist, not Jon Baldwin. In this episode, I try to defend some of Baudrillard's more problematic claims regarding gender and race by contextualizing those claims within his broader project. Also, I try to unravel some of his more enigmatic approaches to the bifurcation he draws between reality and illusion. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 54 minutes Jean Baudrillard's "The Perfect Crime" (Part 1/2) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I dissect one of Baudrillard's most important, yet enigmatic, books, "The Perfect Crime." It is here that he makes clear some fundamental axioms pertaining to the nature of simulation and reality. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 43 minutes Jean Baudrillard's "The Gulf War did not take place" Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I turn my attention to Baudrillard's first book on the topic of war. I attempt to defend Baudrillard from some of the criticisms that have been mounted against him for some of his problematic claims by contextualizing this project within his entire theoretical corpus. |

| 2019-Sep-21 • 35 minutes Jean Baudrillard's "The Ecstasy of Communication" Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy... | In this episode, I tackles Baudrillard's "The Ecstasy of Communication."

| 2019-Sep-21 • 47 minutes Jean Baudrillard's "America" Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy... | In this episode, I tackle Jean Baudrillard's "America." This book came out of Baudrillard's travels to America where he observed the desolate nothingness that was the American hologram. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 51 minutes Roberto Calasso's "The Ruin of Kasch" (Part 2/2) https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I conclude my exploration of Calasso's "The Ruin of Kasch" by outlining his criticism of Marxism for failing to consider the possibility that it is society itself that is oppressive, not capital. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 51 minutes Roberto Calasso's "The Ruin of Kasch" (Part 1/2) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I explore the the lesser known Roberto Calasso and his "The Ruin of Kasch." Calasso is a thinker of sacrifice and ceremony, and proposes what these components of the 'old order' mean in the age of modernity. To do this, Calasso traverses from the tale of the ancient kingdom of Kasch to the Napoleonic politician Talleyrand to the limitations of Marxism. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 42 minutes Jean Baudrillard's "Fatal Strategies" (Part 2/2) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy... | In this episode, I continue my exploration of "Fatal Strategies" to present something of a Baudrillardian pragmatics that accounts for the acceleration of this oppressive system. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 54 minutes Jean Baudrillard's "Fatal Strategies (Part 1/2) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I begin my exploration of Baudrillard's "Fatal Strategies." This is the text that Baudrillard becomes extremely critical against the obscenity machine that forces everything into appearance. Against this, he proposes his own theory--that we are to drive these systems to their radical conclusion. This takes the form of a fatal strategy. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 51 minutes Sara Ahmed's "Differences that Matter" (Part 3/3) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... my last episode of this text, I focus on the stories and films that Ahmed analyzes as being fundamentally "postmodern," but that rely on classical constructions of women and (not so) subtly maintain oppressive imagery against women. |

Ahmed presents some tough criticisms here, but is equally proficient at constructing her own theoretical approach that stands opposed to the hegemony-laden approaches indicative of Western thought. |
| 2019-Sep-21 • 43 minutes Sara Ahmed's "Differences that Matter" (Part 1/3) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theoryandphilosophy In... this episode, I shift gears to explore Sara Ahmed's first book, "Differences that Matter."
