In this episode, I turn my attention to Derrida's groundbreaking essay, "Structure, Sign, and Play." It is here that he lays the foundation of what would become deconstruction, the destabilization of the assumed univocality of either term in a binary.

Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari's "Anti Oedipus" (Chapter 4/4) Sep 21, 2019

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.

Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari's "Anti Oedipus" (Chapter 3/4) Sep 21, 2019

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.

Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari's "Anti-Oedipus" (Chapter 2/4) Sep 21, 2019

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.

Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari's "Anti-Oedipus" (Chapter 1/4) Sep 21, 2019

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.

Sigmund Freud's "Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego" Sep 21, 2019

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.

Jean Baudrillard's "Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared" Sep 21, 2019

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.

Jean Baudrillard's "The Agony of Power" Sep 21, 2019

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.

Sara Ahmed's "Queer Phenomenology" Sep 21, 2019

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.

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.

David Golumbia's "The Cultural Logic of Computation" Sep 21, 2019

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.

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.

Rosi Braidotti's "The Posthuman" Sep 21, 2019

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.

Friedrich Nietzsche "On The Genealogy of Morality" Sep 21, 2019

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

Mary Beard's "Women and Power" Sep 21, 2019

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.

Jean Baudrillard's "The Transparency of Evil" Sep 21, 2019

In these sections we get a glimpse at Foucault's consideration of the Greek regimen around sexuality

Michel Foucault's "The History of Sexuality Vol. 2" (Part 1/3) Sep 21, 2019

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.

Bent Flyvbjerg's "Making Social Science Matter" Sep 21, 2019

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

In 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.

Jean Baudrillard's "The Perfect Crime" (Part 2/2) Sep 21, 2019

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.

Jean Baudrillard's "The Perfect Crime" (Part 1/2) Sep 21, 2019

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.

This is the text that Baudrillard becomes extremely critical against the obscenity machine that forces everything into appearance.

In this episode, I continue my exploration of Ahmed's "Differences that Matter" and turn my attention to ethics, and the construction of women in Western Philosophy.

Please note: I mistakenly said that this book follows Simulacra & Simulation when, in fact, it precedes it. I got mixed up with the translation date and original date. Please keep this in mind when I speak about the relationship between the two texts. In this episode, I tackle Baudrillard's "Silent Majorities" to present his primary ideas concerning the media and the masses, and the relationship that they have to one another. Moreover, he takes an interesting stance on the role that terrorism plays in both, paradoxically, consolidating and resisting the repressive mechanisms of the media and the masses.
