Acid Horizon: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Acid Horizon
Emerging from affinities with post-structuralism, abolitionism, biopolitics, communism, critical metaphysics, critical mysticism, and ontological anarchy, Acid Horizon is a philosophy and theory podcast committed to thought in motion and political struggle. While these are our grounding currents, each episode opens out onto a wider constellation: ethics, politics, phenomenology, decolonial thought, queer theory, post-psychoanalysis, disability/crip theory, anarchism, Marxism, feminism, and analyses of the emergence of the new right. Comprised of a decentralized collective of friends and comrades, Acid Horizon cultivates a terrain of militant inquiry. From readings that span 20th-century French communism to new perspectives on German idealism, the collective has also undertaken forays into aesthetic experimentation, philosophical heresy, and the history of revolt. We seek the concepts and intensities that gesture toward new forms of life. Acid Horizon pushes theory beyond the academy through live engagements, collaborative reading groups, and collective interventions.

Current courses at AHRC: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-courses What if the way we think about everything from gender, race, and class to the very idea of a "thing," rests on a transcendental illusion that mistakes the representation of thought for thinking itself?

*PATREON EXCLUSIVE* Deleuze and Guattari on Class: Digital Capitalism, Against Workerism, and Reifications of the Worker
Did Deleuze and Guattari have a theory of class? A better question: how did the French philosophers reformulate class and the bourgeoisie in anticipation of digital capitalism unfolding on a global scale? In this Patreon-exclusive discussion, we (Emma, Adam, and Craig) set Deleuze and Guattari's theory of class against workerism and the scapegoating of particular categories of worker within contemporary trends of proletarianization.
