“Le philosophe allemand Günther Stern - de son vrai nom - cherche par ce faux patronyme à annoncer une pensée critique qui s'inquiète des enjeux techniques, écologiques et politiques du 20e siècle. Retour en cinq volets sur l'œuvre de ce penseur méconnu.” www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...

Untitled work, by Moi Ver.

Writing about Surrealism & the rise of fascism & am reminded that at the Feminist Strike in Florence I saw one protester with Max Ernst's painting The Triumph of Surrealism (1937). Depressingly relevant.

“This exemplifies the circular logic of Zionist settler-colonialism: settlements are built to mark & protect the state’s border, but that makes them vulnerable to attack & so a buffer zone is established to protect them.” @forensicarchi.bsky.social @lrb.co.uk

Ist die kategorische Trennung zwischen Stoff und Form, Körper und Geist, Materialismus und Idealismus nicht ihrerseits idealistisch? Welche Zukunft hat der Begriff des Materialismus in seinen unterschiedlichen Spielarten und Programmatiken? cmb.hu-berlin.de/events/collo... Venez nombreu.x.ses!

“Hormuz does not yet signal the end of this hydrocarbon dollar complex, which has always been a combustible mix of power and volatility. But it does reveal the structural changes that would be needed for a hegemonic transition.” www.equator.org/articles/the...

Read @mona-ali.bsky.social’s definitive analysis of the showdown in Hormuz – and how the nations of the global south might seize this moment to shape a new world economic order

‘The scale of the earthworks was so great that Israel’s two hundred bulldozers were not nearly enough – many were damaged by the Palestinian resistance – and Israel urgently needed two hundred more.’ In the next issue: Eyal Weizman on the demolition of Gaza, online now www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Phil Neel endlich auf Deutsch: [bei @edition-nautilus.bsky.social]

“The black square was Bolshevism; but Bolshevism, they thought, if it was to become fully itself, had to agree to disappear into Suprematism’s gravitational collapse.” *** T.J. Clark on the art of the Russian Revolution: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v3...

“Since Trump began his second term, his administration's use of the armed forces has left a growing number in the military unsettled, according to NPR interviews with service members and advocates.” www.npr.org/2026/04/10/n...

because, as they say: standing against the rapid support forces (rsf) does not imply siding with the state. so: let’s bring the noise in solidarity with those who fight for survival and liberation, and continue the unfinished work of the sudanese revolution.

since the 2018 uprising, and especially after the civil war began devouring the revolution, this collective has been organizing local committees, sustaining mutual aid networks, and circulating their publication, al amal, without supporting any side in the ongoing conflict.

as konvulsismo strives to fuse noise, dissonance and international solidarity, for this event, we are raising money for the sudanese anarchist gathering.
