Anti-utilitarianism. An account of the sacred. Expenditure and destruction under capitalism. In this episode, Will, Adam, and Craig discuss the 1933 text "The Notion of Expenditure" by Georges Bataille. We compare the concept in focus to Deleuze and Guattari's notion of antiproduction and the body without organs. We also talk about Marxism, Mauss, and cultural anthropology.

Author, blogger, and photographer Matt Colquhoun joins us (as promised) for a first look at a compilation of last lectures given by Mark Fisher at Goldsmiths in 2016.  The lecture series on postcapitalist desire intends to explore the seemingly unsurpassable milieu of global capitalism and its pervasive affectivity.  Through figures like Marcus, Lukacs, Lyotard, Marx, and Deleuze and Guattari, Fisher explores possibilities for our collective extrication from capital. In the interview, we reflect on Fisher's acumen as a teacher and mentor as we take on elements of the project he left behind.

Deleuze's Nietzsche & Philosophy is an exciting and controversial interpretation of Nietzsche which stands at the forefront of 20th Century Nietzsche scholarship.  In this episode, we visit the text and the concept of ressentiment and the theory of forces, both of which Deleuze famously elaborates.  Together we investigate possible uses of Nietzsche as a political mediator. Figures include Kant, Hegel, Marx, Foucault, and Brassier. Also, we disabuse listeners of characterizations of Nietzsche put forward by figures such as Jordan B. Peterson.

A quick but an important updates (3 minutes) about developments in our camp. Also, some information about our Nietzsche and Deleuze (and Hegel!) episode.

Adam breaks down the often misconstrued, misused, and misrepresented Hegelian dialectic. He also brings into the discussion conspiracy theories, Fallout: New Vegas, David Chalmers, and, well, a magnet to illustrate his summary. Other figures mentioned include Marx and Fichte.

Andrew Culp is the author of Dark Deleuze, the controversial piece of Deleuze scholarship which challenges appropriations of Deleuze by academics and professionals uncommitted to a program of radical politics. Craig, Will, Matt, and Adam together interrogate Andrew on the finer points of the book.  Also, we discuss the similar dilution of Foucault's legacy. Some concepts on the table are negativity/positivity, ressentiment, the outside, imperceptibility, asymmetry, fugitivity, and destroying worlds.

How do we centered disabled voices in academia and at large? How is the the notion of impairment socially constructed? Shelley Tremain joins Craig, WIll, and Adam to discuss her essay "This Is What a Historicist and Relativist Feminist Philosophy of Disability Looks Like". We use the essay to unpack Shelley's feminist philosophy of disability.  Moreover, we delve into the work of Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, Tobin Siebers, and Ian Hacking. Check Shelley's website: biopoliticalphilosophy.com
