    This is the last Fisher book I haven’t read. I’m really looking forward to it.

      You can buy your way out of that burden as well. Capitalism and consumerism really can solve all our problems! 😮

    Hearing Matt talk about this remix of Belly of the Beast using self-checkout sounds is really fascinating - what's the name of Fisher's mix of Belly of the Beast? Searching him and K-Punk with BotB only brings up - understandably - Fisher's writing in relation to the original.

    you mentioned how deleuze talks about representations- where could i read more on that?

    • @AcidHorizon
      @AcidHorizon  Před 3 lety +2

      Great question. When I first came to Deleuze's work years ago, it was something that initially eluded me as being of primary importance. It's basically EVERYWHERE in his writing, even if it anti-representationalism is functioning in the background. The essay to start you out might be 'Plato and the Simulacrum' (It is available online and it is also found in the appendix of The Logic of Sense). D&G's book on Kafka is an important note in their anti-representationalism. ('Justice is desire and desire alone [not just propositions about justice, etc.]). The recent episode on the image of thought we did brushes up against Deleuze's anti-representationalism as well.

      @@AcidHorizon can I just add: his essay "How do we recognize structuralism" also thinks about representation through this relation between genesis and structure in structuralism->post-structuralism. gets into his stuff about calculus in D+R

      I recommend the Conclusion of Difference & Repetition. It’s a fantastic distillation of lots of the ideas throughout the book

    It's reasonable to say a universal symbolic language exists and psychoanalysis, philosophy, poetry have cast thousands of molds of symbolic meaning . We lack objective coherence so we never understand each other or ourselves, we are the other and the other is us. Perfect communication meaning error free understanding which poets would say is love.

    It sounds like you are saying “Marx” instead of “Mark” a lot of the time!

    IF YOU’RE REALLY ABOUT THAT ANTICAPITALIST HORIZON, ACCEPT WEIRD THOUGHTS AS CURRENCY FOR YOUR PATREON.
