Acid Horizon

About 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.

[…] In China, I think geological feeling has much to do with compressed modernization and the repeat that we're always running and always developing. be under a very great pressure, always in a nature position, in a nature condition, and a growing uncertainty about social mobility and the futures. And that's where sound became very important for us. Drinker has usually been treated as a vision, visual phenomenon, but sound has this extraordinary ability to reconstruct an environment without fully repressing it.
