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.

Adam is joined by Ciara Cremin to discuss the libidinal economy of femininity in her latest book "The Spectral Woman: Transfemininity and the Abolition of Gender" out now from Pluto Press. Drawing from psychoanalytic, feminist, and Marxist theory, we discuss how Ciara's book articulates a vision of communism, abolitionism, and femininity against the male fantasies of capital, wielding the handbag and sickle against new fascisms mired in transphobia and gender essentialism. You can find the book here at:
