  1. Language is overrated. In this Substack piece, I scrutinise language and the fact that much of language is extraneous. As for spoken language, many utterances are not strictly necessary, though they are functional.

    I shake hands with #Austin, #Derrida, #Searle, #Wittgenstein, #Nietzsche, and #Barthes on this journey – even a bout with #Pinker.

  6. Even if I consider #LeviStrauss to be the only structuralist & many others would consider #Foucault, #Lacan and #Barthes post-structuralists, we can maybe all agree on the fact that how Henry has portrayed the four men here (in 1967) is brilliant and captures their characters very well #anthropology

  11. More brutal, even: "No surer way to kill a piece of research and send it to join the great waste of abandoned projects than Method." #Barthes

  12. Brutal: #Barthes on the 'contractual totality' of teaching: "the comfort of the teaching relationship: the 'good' teacher, the 'good' student are those who accept philosophically the plurality of their determinations, perhaps because they know that the truth of a relationship of speech is elsewhere"

  17. ‚In die Sonne schauen‘ von Mascha Schilinski

    Aus dem Presseheft: file:///C:/Users/G%C3%BC/Downloads/idss_presseheft_a5_screen.pdf INTERVIEW MIT DER REGISSEURIN MASCHA SCHILINSKI Was hat Sie zu dieser Geschichte inspiriert?

Beim Prokrastinieren undabendlichen Weintrinken haben wir uns unweigerlich ausgemalt, wer hierwohl früher […]

  18. ✨ An Updated Barthes

    Taylor Swift isn’t just a singer.
    She’s the Showgirl who shows the Girl.

    Her Eras, her branding, her billions—each is myth made marketable.
    She is both the product and the critique.

    My latest essay explores pop, performance, Jesus, capitalism, and the impossibility of the “ethical billionaire.”

    "Side Effects May Include Myth"
    A meditation on trust, advertising, psychiatric meds, and what Roland Barthes might say about the voice inside the box.

    I wrote it after a stay in a crisis center. It's raw, reflective, and a little angry.

  23. I spent time recently in a crisis center asking every day, “What is this pill? What does it actually do to me?”

    Language gives the illusion of consent, but how many of us really know what we’re taking — or why?

  25. But in League, the Nautilus is monstrous, otherworldly, beautiful. Even Moriarty has to steal its blueprints—it’s beyond what empire can produce.

    This Nautilus isn’t part of the system. It refuses comfort. It’s awe. It’s a god-ship.

    Barthes would’ve hated the film—but I think he’d respect this myth.
