The second one is an academic article with an incredible title:
Enacting the Anti-fascist Body: Somaterapia as Collective Liberatory Becoming
by a philosopher with an incredible name: Aragorn Eloff
The article is about somaterapia, a Brazilian anti-fascist body practice aimed at healing the effects of fascism. The idea is that fascism in its cultural form manifests in the body in the form of micro-fascisms: muscular armour, stooped shoulders, fear of intimacy, et cetera. Somaterapia is a practical and radical way of dealing with not just these symptoms, but of rooting fascism out from the source by creating healthier ways of worlding.
The article explores all of this through the lens of the enactive approach to cognition, and I love the way it introduces and explains the various facets of enactivism necessary for understanding someterapia. It is truly a dialogue between two seemingly disparate practices, done in such a way as to enrich both sides.
Favourite quote: "joyful senses are not created if there is no revolt and insurgency in the face of what makes us mediocre"

Dying of Whiteness (Boston Review)
Jonathan M. Metzl, 2019"Trevor voiced a literal willingness to die for his place in this hierarchy, rather than participate in a system that might put him on the same plane as immigrants or racial minorities."
"a dominant strain of the electorate voted in politicians whose platforms of American greatness were built on embodied forms of demise."

"‘Why did the masses desire fascism?’ ... Posed in the context of their attempts to develop a more robust conceptualization of ‘desire’ as a psychosocial force, they suggest that ‘only microfascism provides an answer to the global question: why does desire desire its own repression, how can it desire its own repression?’ (Deleuze and Guattari 2005, 215)"
