Product Information

It’s a one-way trade in which philosophy is supposed to open itself to alterity from without but remains sovereign itself, or at best open toward a witchy philosophy’s familiars — poet, artist, genius.

Alongside the stylistic influence of Gibson's novels, in these texts, "Land's anti-humanist speculation is combined with an evident enjoyment of wordplay and a renewed appreciation for the anthropological, mythological and psychoanalytical sources of Capitalism and Schizophrenia", according to Mackay; [6] the unpublished conference paper "Cyberspace Anarchitecture as Jungle-War" contains these elements in addition to a clearer focus on the cultural relevance of the complexity of jungle music inspired by Kodwo Eshun's concurrent writings and lectures, and the potential for a "K-insurgency".Plato pleads on Socrates’ behalf, for Athens has misjudged him, but also misjudged death, as if it were punishment. Fanged Noumena: Collected Writings 1987-2007 is a 2011 anthology of writings by English philosopher Nick Land, edited by English philosophers Robin Mackay and Ray Brassier.

There’s a salutary hostility to the residual dominance of Anglophone imperial states, but there is no longer a dependence on chaotic disruption alone. A full-length music video tape was created for "Meltdown" by London art audiovisual collective Orphan Drift, featuring cyberdelic visuals, an ambient techno soundtrack and the text being read by processed Apple MacinTalk text-to-speech voices.Kant, Capital, and thee Prohibition of Incest is the kind of lunacy that results from not understanding the Hajnal Line. The thing is, Lacan isn’t really a structuralist or post-structuralist (not that that’s a bad thing--’some of my best friends’, etc), which everyone should know by now, and there is much to learn from his system about the false address of assumed truth. And bcomes the sublime itself: “Capitalism is not a totalizable system defined by the commodity form as a specifiable mode of production, determinatively negated by proletarian class-consciousness. The first key to Land is that he tried to unfold a version of Deleuze and Guattari without vitalism, where the figure of the body without organs that they took from Artaud is one of alterity, chaos, death, collapse, a seething pustule of time in-itself.

Capital as promiscuous and chancy alliance needs the boundaries of circumscribed filiation to maintain unequal exchange and global apartheid, hence Land’s ironic play with the avatars of neo-reaction. Making it with Death: Remarks on Thanatos and Desiring-Production" marks Land's first thorough engagement with the theory of Deleuze and Guattari, including the formative proto-accelerationist speculations made in Anti-Oedipus and especially their practice of schizoanalysis (also referred to by Land as "stratoanalysis"), while also further developing a philosophical history of Deleuzian difference and the body without organs that had previously been articulated in the conclusion of "Art as Insurrection"; Mackay and Brassier summarized this development as Land's assertion—rejecting Deleuze and Guattari's disavowal of Freudian drive theory—that "all temporary [existential] obstacles are dispensable coagulants inhibiting death's unwinding. It explores the occult and logical implications made by the specific setups of typographic systems, especially in consumer technology, and their application for "the qabbalistic tracking of pure coding 'coincidences'. I don’t think the Deleuzo-Guattarian break from psychoanalysis is fully convincing anyway, and neither does Nick Land (he just prefers Freud to Lacan); in fact, Oedipus is a dynamic and protean conceptual battery rather than a structuralist handicap. The other path there is to reverse it, to see work not as the human spiritualizing the world but as the world materializing labor, an incomplete project of opening through labor toward a world that remakes species-being as nothing special, as one organization of matter, energy and information among others.The guides to this unknown land are the pet poets of the philosophers: Arthur Rimbaud and Georg Trakl — the Germanic Rimbaud. In a 2017 retrospective article written for The Guardian on the CCRU, Andy Beckett referred to Fanged Noumena as a text "which contains some of accelerationism's most darkly fascinating passages. Philosophy desires the supremacy of that part of the human that likes to think it is akin to angels, by sacrificing that part that is kith to the animal. The institutional forms of legitimate power and knowledge in the west really do seem to be eroding quickly, in part because they are outflanked by internet-driven communication forms.

Land: “philosophers feast in the palaces of reason, and luxuriate in the screams that reach them from the dungeons of sublimity. Machinic desire can seem a little inhuman, as it rips up political cultures, deletes traditions, dissolves subjectivities, and hacks through security apparatuses, tracking a soulless tropism to zero control. Clinical schizophrenics are POWs from the future… Their nervous-systems are the free-fire zones of an emergent neo-eugenicist cultural security system. The musician Kode9, the artist Jake Chapman, and others studied with or describe their influence by Land, often highlighting Land's inhuman, "technilist," or "delirious" qualities.Land was a lecturer in Continental Philosophy at the University of Warwick from 1987 until his resignation in 1998.
