In this episode, Craig, Will, and Adam perform a close reading of Gilles Deleuze's "What is a Creative Act?" and Giorgio Agamben's response, "What is an Act of Creation?", examining the respective nuances in the philosophers' views of creativity.Support the Show.Support the podcast:https:...

A desertion from political participation, from the daily grind of capitalism, from the brutal reality of climate collapse, and from a society which offers nothing but chaos and pain.Berardi a...

Workers of the world unite, we have nothing to lose but our chains! But just who is this ‘we’? How do we identify the proletariat, the revolutionary subject, and how does the proletariat identify itself in the midst of an intensifying threat of economic precarity and capitalist immiseration. This ‘we’, to quote Wilhelm Weitling, is a tricky question. Today we’re taking a dive into Historical Materialism with the latest book in the series “The Poetry of Class: Romantic Anti-Capitalism and the ...
