A Philosophy of Apologies and Aftershocks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fissure in the FoothillsOne of the most uncanny experiences of my life was being mistaken for an occupation soldier from the post-war era. Living in Japan in the early aughts, more than a half century after the occupation had ended, this might be hard to believe. But as a gawky twenty-something with a buzzcut and an oversized backpack, I may have come off as the kind of boorish interloper once familiar to older Japanese citizens who had seen the end of the war.<a class="image-link image2 is-view
The Fight Against Clichés Is a Terrible Thing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Our entanglement with genre seems absolute, especially as we grow increasingly attuned to the smallest deviations between aesthetic styles. In film it’s tech-noir, eco-horror, hangout comedy, or whatever the next-ploitation happens to be; in music it’s mumble rap, atmospheric black metal, mallsoft, fidget house, and a plethora of other micro-genres. The names are fun, to be sure. But everything in our time has been acutely typologized, perhaps to the detriment of our creative impulses. We are aw

How can we take a historical materialist approach to understanding the shattering of working class militancy and subjectivity as a political force in the 20th century? What does it mean to be a proletarian in an
Every Day Is the First Day of Individuation: Part 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Part 1 of “Every Day Is the First Day of Individuation,” I recounted an instance of being “welcomed” to Japan after having lived there for almost three full years. The episode was otherwise inconsequential, but it has somehow stayed with me for more than two decades. I have come to see the episode as a meditation on how we think about the individuation process. The rupture I identify in the anecdote then opens onto a series of criticisms put forward at the most recent Acid Horizon R
