Apologies for the late post this week! We’ll do some Kafka on Tuesday. To wit, the short stories “A Report for an Academy” and “A Hunger Artist”, and a brief critical piece from Green Anarchy, “Failure to Appear at the Trial”. Until then…

We’ll conclude our tryst with Raoul Vaneigem’s The Revolution of Everyday Life on Tuesday by reading the final two chapters; “The Interworld and the New Innocence” and “You Won’t Fuck With Us Much Longer!”. In addition, we’ll look at Jason’s essay “Raoul Vaneigem: The Other Situationist” by way of conclusion. New directions forthcoming! See you soon!

Next week we’ll continue with The Revolution of Everyday Life, reading Section XXIII – “The Unitary Triad: Fulfillment, Communication, Participation”. Second to last reading before we’re finished with this text. See you Tuesday.

Nearing the end of The Revolution of Everyday Life. We’ll ring in the change of calendar with Part XXII – “The Space-Time of Lived Experience and the Rectification of the Past”. Only two or three readings of Vaneigem left after this one!

Back to Vaneigem next time; more specifically, Section XXI — “Masters Without Slaves”. Until then!

Next week we’ll read Alan Moore’s Fossil Angels, an essay on magic. Read part 1 here and part 2 here.

This week we’ll begin Part Two of The Revolution of Everyday Life by reading sections XIX – Reversal of Perspective and XX – Creativity, Spontaneity, and Poetry. Apologies for the ultra late post this week, but these sections are pretty short to compensate.

Tuesday we’ll take another break from Vaneigem to read two pieces on the mind, its health, and its institutionalization: Wolfi Landstreicher’s “Revolt Not Therapy”, as well as Flower Bomb’s “Descending Into Madness: An Anarcho-Nihilist Diary of Anti-Psychiatry”. Until then!

Next week we’ll discuss the final sections of Part One of The Revolution of Everyday Life: “XVI – The Fascination of Time”, “XVII – Survival Sickness”, and “XVIII – Unbuttressed Refusal”. The end of the book is in sight!

Back to The Revolution of Everyday Life. XIV: “The Organization of Appearances” and XV: “Roles” are up next.
