Non-standard anti-capitalist philosophy publication.
Monochromatic Intensities is an ongoing photographic and textual exploration of post-socialist Hungary, examining how the material textures of everyday life—its infrastructures, monuments, industrial remnants and overlooked spaces—continue to shape perception, memory and political imagination. Developed through repeated visits to the same locations over changing seasons, the project approaches photography not as a means of documenting…
Gilles Deleuze claimed that paintings, or art in general, can be viewed not as a manifestation of a philosophy, a meaning, a way per se, for one can see instead the capability of philosophy in its extraction of ideas from art.[1] What can cybersigilism and eurotrash give us? What does it tell about the subject…
How is the subject situated in the world? This issue has been contended throughout history. For the Neoplatonists, no such issue existed. The subject was only the outward presentation of a deeper noncorrelate point of reference. The One, being the nucleus toward which every thing contracts, preserving its circumscription against the aggregate of being itself,…
Non-Becoming confronts the one verb contemporary philosophy of the subject has left unquestioned. The critical critics have learned to dissolve every fixed identity and to celebrate every flux, every line of flight – and in doing so have made becoming the single concept immune to critique, an unquestioned standstill. This essay treats the imperative of…
Deleuze & Guattari’s most revolutionary political claim is that fascism is not the opposite of liberatory desire but its nearest neighbor — a line of flight turned suicidal, the same destratifying impulse that elsewhere produced life, mobilized instead toward abolition. Microfascism is the name for this tendency at its most intimate source: not in the…
Tiqqun is the name of a small group of intellectuals whose existence is recalled to us today essentially by the trace left behind in the two issues of the review of the same name. Appearing at the turn of the twenty-first century, it was a highly “intellectual” militant review, with genuinely dense philosophical content that…
For Deleuze, philosophy is primarily concerned with the creation of concepts, which arise in response to a concrete problem. Thus, attending to both a particular thinker and a theoretical framework implies positioning oneself upon those bridges built to unite seemingly irreconcilable spheres and, on their basis, continuing this creative labor. It is in this sense…
Many years ago, I visited a place called Usgalimal in the western ghats of India in order to see the pre-historic petroglyphs discovered here in 1993. These rock carvings have been dated to around 6000-8000 years ago, belonging to the mesolithic-to-neolithic turn in the subcontinent, a period which according to archeologists marks the tail-end of…
Any Western attempt to philosophize from the comparative safety of their desk or office about any ongoing genocide in Gaza is a task which can only be attempted with the utmost militant analysis, as said realities being faced by the Palestinian people can in no way shape or form be simply ‘conceptualized’ or ‘theorized’ as…
