“Where Foucault (1990) meets Deleuze and his fans, interesting things could happen. One might wonder why the rhizome becomes such an interesting metaphor for the Left at the historical moment it does. Where Bourdieu (1984; 1986) meets Deleuze, even more interesting things can happen…” Read more

I wrote the chapter on “Anthropology” in the forthcoming Handbook of Marxism (Vol.1-3) edited by Sara Farris, Beverley Skeggs, Alberto Toscano and Svenja Bromberg (SAGE, 2022).

One day I will publish the first draft of this essay next to the final one, so that everyone can see just how bad things really are, and how much (self)censorship is required for survival (if you can call it that).
