Working Yourself To Death
One way to read Clausewitz (and perhaps Hegel) is to consider the possibility of living forms, or corporate entities such as states, to be truly Wild, to be literally Wild(er)ness. Organisms, or free beauties, according to this view, are not … Continue reading
Selection and Combination – Le Rapport Sexuel
“Each sees the other do what it both does and demands of the other. Action needs both from both.” “The middle term is Self-Consciousness which splits into the extremes; and each extreme is this exchanging of its own determinateness and … Continue reading
Unsaidquarters – Infelix Ego: Creativity and Self Torment
But although the “unhappy consciousness” does not possess this actual presence, it has, at the same time, transcended pure thought, so far as this is the abstract thought of Stoicism, which turns away from particulars altogether, and again the merely … Continue reading

Huge props for Malabou (‘the best book on Hegel in twenty years’) offered by Slavoj Žižek. His discussion of Malabou begins at 5’20”. Douglas Crimp’s writings on the origin and purpose of the art museum (click), as a public institution, … Continue reading
“Meet Your New Teacher, Professor Scantron 888P+!”
“continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.” – Philippians 2:12 I don’t believe the university breeds enough graphomaniacs, or scribomaniacs. Writing used to be considered the most fundamental component of any education. These days it’s viewed as … Continue reading
Beyond Romanticism: Science as Mark-Making and Infinite Revision
