Society & Culture
Alice Rekab, artist and theorist, is my guest on today’s episode (67 minutes). You can see some her work at her website and an early version of the film we briefly talk about at the Global Art & Ideas Nexus media page. There you can also watch video of Joshua Ramey, Alex Dubilet, and myself discussing recent Laruelle translations. I won’t pretend that the opening remarks are not raw or that they are incredibly intellectual. Like many of you I am dismayed and enraged by the Ferguson grand jury decision. Divorcing that emotional register from theoretical work strikes me as doing a disservice to both one’s emotional life and their intellectual work. So, I figured let it show. Music in today’s episode is J. Cole’s tribute to Mike Brown, “Be Free”.
