Episode #4: “Have You Been Enjoying Yourself?”
3/14/2022
This week, the buddies step away from the CCRU (though maybe not too far) and turn their attention to a blogpost Mark Fisher wrote about Stanley Kubrick’s last film, Eyes Wide Shut. The buddies discuss the film and its representations of sex, desire, ritual, eroticism, conspiracism, and the dreary spectacle of Power. Below are linksContinue reading "Episode #4: “Have You Been Enjoying Yourself?”"

Episode #2: The Ccru w/ Robin Mackay

This week, we continue our exploration of the work of Mark Fisher with an extensive interview with his friend and collaborator Robin Mackay.

Lurking in the backgroundContinue reading "Episode #2: The Ccru w/ Robin Mackay"

Episode #1: Megalithic Astropunk
1/21/2022
Last year, Buddies Without Organs explored the works of Gilles Deleuze. Now, in association with Zer0 Books, we are turning towards the lesser-known works of Mark Fisher. Fisher is a writer we all already love, and we felt he’d be great to read together. We’re starting as we intend to go on with a oft-neglectedContinue reading "Episode #1: Megalithic Astropunk"

Episode #09: The Event
12/23/2021
Hello Buddies! It has been a while… Sorry about that. We were well and truly defeated by The Fold. But rather than abandon our reading completely, we decided to branch out and try and make sense of one concept at the heart of the book. Lucky for us, it is a concept that remains atContinue reading "Episode #09: The Event"

This week we are joined by a very special guest, Lucy from the Wyrd Signal podcast. Together, we read the nomadology chapter on Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus.

Episode #07: The Fold (Part 1)
6/28/2021
It has been a long time coming… I don’t think we fully appreciated what we getting ourselves into here. Unfolding, with intervals, over the coming months, the buddies begin their three-part reading of Gilles Deleuze’s 1988 book The Fold. Beginning with a quick look at the life and times of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, each ofContinue reading "Episode #07: The Fold (Part 1)"

Episode #06: Chronosis and the Three Buddy Problem
5/12/2021
The buddies are doing something a little different this episode. Having previously announced a three-episode deep-dive in Deleuze’s The Fold, they all had pretty rotten Aprils. Corey suggested we cover something a bit lighter in the meantime… Instead we read Chronosis. Written by Reza Negarestani and Robin Mackay, with astounding artwork by Keith Tilford, ChronosisContinue reading "Episode #06: Chronosis and the Three Buddy Problem"

Episode #05: On the Superiority of Anglo-American Literature
3/18/2021
It is possible that writing has an intrinsic relationship with lines of flight. To write is to trace lines of flight which are not imaginary, and which one is indeed forced to follow, because in reality writing involves us there, draws us in there. To write is to become, but has nothing to do withContinue reading "Episode #05: On the Superiority of Anglo-American Literature"
