Acid Horizon
Emerging from affinities with post-structuralism, abolitionism, biopolitics, communism, critical metaphysics, critical mysticism, and ontological anarchy, Acid Horizon is a philosophy and theory podcast committed to thought in motion and political struggle. While these are our grounding currents, each episode opens out onto a wider constellation: ethics, politics, phenomenology, decolonial thought, queer theory, post-psychoanalysis, disability/crip theory, anarchism, Marxism, feminism, and analyses of the emergence of the new right.
Comprised of a decentralized collective of friends and comrades, Acid Horizon cultivates a terrain of militant inquiry. From readings that span 20th-century French communism to new perspectives on German idealism, the collective has also undertaken forays into aesthetic experimentation, philosophical heresy, and the history of revolt. We seek the concepts and intensities that gesture toward new forms of life.
Acid Horizon pushes theory beyond the academy through live engagements, collaborative reading groups, and collective interventions.

How Do Gender Transitions Happen? A Discussion With Jules Joanne Gleeson
On this episode of Acid Horizon, Craig, Will, and Adam have the privilege of being joined by Jules Joanne Gleeson, a theorist, comedian, historian, and contributor to recent Transgender Marxism collection, which she co-edited with fellow theorist and political economist Elle O’Rourke. Jules joins us today not only to discuss the project of a Transgender Marxism, as well as her essay in the collection “How do Gender Transitions Happen?” and her recent interview with Judith Butler. We discuss how Marxist theory can contribute to the imperative struggle of trans liberation, how subjectivation can be understood in the experience of gender transition on both the individual and communal levels, and the trans-positive futures that await us in the struggles of the present. Thinkers in the discussion include Althusser, Hale, Serano, Stryker, Binnie, Deleuze, Malabou, Butler, Hegel, Foucault, and many more!
