  1. AHRC 2026: A Brief Hiatus & A Reflection on Vattimo’s “Beyond the Subject

    DEC 13

    AHRC 2026: A Brief Hiatus & A Reflection on Vattimo’s “Beyond the Subject

    In this end-of-year installment, we’re sharing a conversation originally released on LEPHT HAND as we take a rare and well-earned brief hiatus from regular publishing. This pause marks a moment of transition rather than retreat, as both LEPHT HAND and Acid Horizon continue to evolve beyond the podcast form! Closing out the episode is a reflection on Gianni Vattimo’s essay “Beyond the Subject,” engaging questions of weak thought, interpretation, and the limits of the sovereign self. As we close out the year, we’re also preparing a new slate of courses through the Acid Horizon Research Commons, and we look forward to returning soon, welcoming many of you into the classroom in the weeks ahead.

  2. Socialism, Spirituality and the Forgotten Occult Roots of the Left with Graham Jones

    NOV 28

    Socialism, Spirituality and the Forgotten Occult Roots of the Left with Graham Jones

    Can a genuinely liberatory politics survive without mystery, imagination, or the spiritual experiences that give life its depth?  Sereptie speaks with Graham Jones about Jacobin’s article “The Forgotten History of Socialism and the Occult” and why its knee-jerk rationalism gets the history wrong. We explore the intersections of Marxism, mysticism, occult traditions, utopian thought, and the warm stream of revolutionary desire. The discussion moves through materialist spirituality, political subjectivity, Boycott Watkins, and how radical movements can reclaim the ecstatic and the ineffable.

  3. Why Rationalism Fails: Excess, Variation, and Ontogenesis as First Philosophy (with Timothy Jackson)

    NOV 16

    Why Rationalism Fails: Excess, Variation, and Ontogenesis as First Philosophy (with Timothy Jackson)

    What happens when the very logic we rely on to understand the world becomes the barrier to understanding it? In this episode, Timothy Jackson joins us to rethink rationalism through the lenses of Darwin, Simondon, Deleuze, and Bataille, challenging inherited frameworks across science and metaphysics. We explore variation, excess, and ontogenesis as the forces that precede and destabilize every closed system of explanation.  To explore more of Timothy’s work, visit his Google Scholar profile: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=vOnot8oAAAAJ&hl=en .

  4. Bergson and Weird Philosophy: JF Martel on Time, Subjectivity, and Weirding Realism

    NOV 2

    Bergson and Weird Philosophy: JF Martel on Time, Subjectivity, and Weirding Realism

    Have you ever felt reality glitch, as though the weird was peeking through the cracks of time or the Real? In this episode of LEPHT HAND, JF Martel joins to explore how Henri Bergson’s concept of duration and Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy of becoming invite a radically weird subjectivity, one that consumes rhythms, intensities, and habits across time. We discuss how this non-linear conception of time doesn’t just solve problems but also introduces new ones: what does it mean to be a subject in perpetual flux, and is this mysticism, metaphysics, or simply reality hiding behind a theatre of representation?

  5. Writing as Exorcism: Dreams and Dissolution in the Work of Henri Michaux (with Garett Strickland)

    OCT 19

    Writing as Exorcism: Dreams and Dissolution in the Work of Henri Michaux (with Garett Strickland)

    Subscribe to LEPHT HAND for early access to episodes! Henri Michaux wrote as if to exorcise himself from existence. His poetry and prose traverse dream, delirium, and the slow undoing of identity, where language becomes both scalpel and spell. In this episode, Garett Strickland joins Sereptie to explore A Certain Plume, Darkness Moves (anthology), and Michaux’s hallucinatory experiments as acts of metaphysical revolt. Together they consider how writing, for Michaux, becomes an art of disappearance—a way of turning life itself into an exorcism.

    The Body Without Organs: Artaud’s Last Writings with Stephen Barber

    What does it mean to imagine a body freed from its organs, its history, and its limits? In his final writings, Antonin Artaud turned against Christ, psychiatry, sexuality, and language itself, while elaborating the concept of the “body without organs.” Translator and scholar Stephen Barber joins us to discuss A Sinister Assassin, a collection that gathers together these visionary late texts. Together we explore Artaud’s last visions of theater, delirium, and radical corporeal transformation.

  7. Myth, Nostalgia, and Liberation: Federico Campagna’s 'Otherworlds: Mediterranean Lessons On Escaping History'

    AUG 23

    Myth, Nostalgia, and Liberation: Federico Campagna’s 'Otherworlds: Mediterranean Lessons On Escaping History'

    Can myth itself serve as a material force in struggles for liberation? Federico Campagna joins me to discuss how myth—too often dismissed as escapism or co-opted by reaction—can instead become a practice of imagination, solidarity, and survival. We look at myth’s place in anti-capitalist politics, its tension with materialism, and its role in resisting despair. What emerges is a vision of myth as a politics of possibility against history’s catastrophes.

    Gilgamesh: The Oldest Story Ever Told and Why It Still Haunts Us Today (with Stuart Kendall)

    What ancient tale speaks of gods, grief, and the fall of heroes? In this episode, we descend into the dream-temple of Gilgamesh, guided by translator Stuart Kendall. We explore the epic’s broken verses, divine laments, and its resistance to modern humanist smoothing. What emerges is not just a story—but a fragmentary vision of mythic time and cosmic mourning.
