  • Fanon and Sartre: Rethinking Praxis, Race, and Revolution
    Jul 6 2025

    What happens when the dialectic between Sartre and Fanon is not one of influence, but of mutual transformation? Today we're live at Webster’s in State College with Tyrique Mack-Georges, who returns to the podcast to discuss his research on seriality, group infusion, and the possibility of a new humanity. Together, we explore how Sartre’s Critique of Dialectical Reason illuminates Fanon’s revolutionary project, and how Fanon, in turn, reorients Sartre’s ethics. This is a conversation about stretching Marxism, confronting racial capitalism, and recovering the lost art of collective praxis.

  • The Roots of 'Gender-Critical' Fascism: White Supremacy, Reactionary Feminism, and the Far Right
    Jun 29 2025

    What if the history of feminism wasn’t only a story of liberation—but also one of betrayal, reaction, and complicity? In this episode of Acid Horizon, we speak with Michael Richmond and Alex Charnley, authors of Fascism and the Women's Cause, about the forgotten histories of white feminist collaboration with the far right—from the suffrage movement to the Ku Klux Klan and the British Union of Fascists. Together we explore how transphobia, liberalism, and racial capitalism converge in today’s so-called “gender-critical” movements. This is a conversation about fractures on the left, the dangers of respectable reaction, and why we must fight for a feminism that refuses fascism.

  • Georges Bataille’s 'On Nietzsche': War, Chance, and the Collapse of Meaning with Stuart Kendall
    Jun 21 2025

    What does it mean to write philosophy in a time of catastrophe? In this episode, we’re joined once again by Stuart Kendall to explore Georges Bataille’s On Nietzsche, a fragmented, intimate, and disorienting text written in the final years of World War II. We examine how Nietzsche becomes not just a philosophical reference but a companion for Bataille—a figure through whom Bataille grapples with sovereignty, death, and the limits of knowledge. From Sartre’s accusations of mysticism to the will to chance as a response to fascism and nuclear horror, we trace how On Nietzsche opens up an ethics of risk, uselessness, and survival.

  • Hermaphrodite Logic: A History of Intersex Liberation with Juliana Gleeson
    Jun 16 2025

    What does it mean to politicize sex rather than assume its politics? In this episode, we're joined once again by Juliana Gleeson to discuss her new book Hermaphrodite Logic: A History of Intersex Liberation, a sharp and sardonic retelling of intersex activism from 1990 to today. We trace the expressive politics of sex through protest, medical confrontation, and wit as strategy, asking how humor, style, and clinical resistance shaped a movement. Along the way, we explore the global stakes of intersex struggle—from American hospitals to South African race science and the Olympic spectacle.

  • 'Black Mirror', Henri Bergson, and the Death of Creative Time with Emily Herring
    Jun 10 2025

    Don't miss Vintagia; campaign ending soon: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/acidhorizon/vintagia-i-ching-oracle-for-psychogeographers-and-creatives

    Is Black Mirror still speculative fiction—or just a stylized documentary of our present? In this episode, we dive into Black Mirror Season 7, Episode 1 ("Common People") with writer and philosopher Emily Herring, who recently explored the show’s themes of platform capitalism and cognitive exploitation in The New World. What does it mean to "subscribe" to your own mind, and how do concepts like enshittification, machinic enslavement, and time-debt shape our experience of autonomy? Along the way, we examine Henri Bergson’s philosophy of memory and duration, questioning whether the qualitative dimensions of consciousness can survive under techno-capitalist regimes.

  • The Lamella and the Lacanian Break: Taylor Adkins on “Position of the Unconscious”
    Jun 3 2025

    In this installment of The Anti-Oedipus Files, we welcome translator and theorist Taylor Adkins for a wide-ranging conversation on Lacan’s “Position of the Unconscious.” Beginning with a historical primer, we trace Lacan’s fraught institutional legacy and his confrontation with psychoanalytic orthodoxy. From the topology of the lamella to the philosophical rift between Guattari and Lacan, we explore the transformations of subjectivity, desire, and analytic practice. Taylor also shares insights into his collaborations on Machinic Unconscious Happy Hour and the broader landscape of Deleuze and Guattari studies.

  • Ontologies of Queerness: Deleuze, Butler, and Beyond with Billie Cashmore and Xenogothic
    May 27 2025

    What does it mean to say that queerness is ontological? In this episode, we’re joined by Billie Cashmore and Xenogothic (Mattie Colquhoun) to explore the philosophical foundations and political tensions surrounding queerness, normativity, and the symbolic order. Drawing on thinkers like Judith Butler, Heidegger, and Lacan, we examine queerness not simply as identity, but as a condition of social and ontological failure—and potential. What happens when queerness claims both radical subversion and historical universality?

    What happens when queer liberation becomes entangled with the myths of the nation-state? In this episode, we speak with Alexander Stoffel about his new book Eros and Empire, which traces the transnational roots of sexual freedom movements in the U.S. From gay liberation to Black lesbian feminism and AIDS activism, Stoffer shows how desire has been both constrained by and mobilized against imperial and capitalist systems. Together, we explore how a Marxist approach to desire can open new paths for solidarity beyond the boundaries of the bourgeois state.
