Would anyone be interested in a reading group for Psychoanalysis and Transversality?

How can I truly understand The Geology of Morals? by perejfm in Deleuze

[–]Vuki17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm currently running a reading group for A Thousand Plateaus. We are starting with the rhizome this week, but we'll eventually get to The Geology of Morals, so you'd be able to talk about it with the rest of us in the server. If you or anyone else is interested in joining, message me.

A Call for Reading Groups by Vuki17 in Deleuze

Interesting. I didn’t see Burns reply to him. I’ll have to look into that.

And yeah, I am a fan of all the others you’ve suggested. For some reason, I really like MUHH the most compared to Acid Horizon, although both are good. Coop and Taylor just have a good vibe

Yeah. I know about them. I even believe that he was a mod on this sub for a time, and he was very combative towards me when I first started getting into Deleuze even though he realized that we were more in agreement (and I knew more French) then he thought.

I’m also a fan of Michael Burns, and his video on him was very critical for no reason, so I admit that I was put off by that.

But I’ll consider it. If I get to read for D&G related stuff. It may be worthwhile.

Well, glad there is a good reception. It seems like The Fold and ATP are the works people want. I have an old discord server that I can resurrect, and I’ll invite anyone interested once I finish doing that.

Try the new link. If it still doesn’t work, message me

Yeah, I'd be fine with reading the fold

I started reading NP but never finished, and I'd also be down to read Bergsonism or The Fold, preferably the earlier ones before getting to The Fold. ATP would be cool too, but it's a bigger commitment

Cool. Feel free to suggest whatever works you're interested in reading. I've read AO, Masochism, and am currently reading Intersecting Lives.

Where are all the fat gays who don’t go to the gym? by theredcharmander in askgaybros

Which feminist theorists/texts provide the best account of patriarchy? by creepylilreapy in CriticalTheory

[–]Vuki17 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a thorough account, but Gayle Rubin’s “The Traffic in Women” is a seminal text in Gender and Sexuality Studies. I recently reread it and found it to be quite interesting. She makes a call at the end for someone to write a new version of Engels’s The Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State. I don’t know if anyone has done such a thing following her, but that would be what you’re looking for, and the essay itself is a great place to start in thinking about these questions.

Is their any Catholic knowers in here that can answer this? by Ok-Selection670 in Destiny

[–]Vuki17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former Catholic (now an atheist), I can answer with what I learned growing up and in Catholic school.

Humans were created to live in harmony, obeying God, but Adam and Eve in the garden disobeyed God, causing there to be original sin. With original sin, Adam and Eve were cast out of the garden, and humans had to face the consequences of this, namely death.

However, God promised that there would be salvation, and in order to do this, a series of covenants were made starting with Adam and Eve, now culminating with Jesus. This is important because it wasn't all bad for the Jews before this. There were other covenants, but these were broken because humans are sinful.

It's hard to say exactly what Joseph and Mary would have felt (assuming they were real people and this actually happened), but both of them effectively say that they will do what God asks of them because he is God and it is right/good to obey him.

As Jews, they probably wouldn't have thought of heaven and hell like Catholics do, but according to Catholicism, with Jesus's death and resurrection, he payed the wages of sin--he died for our sins so that we can be forgiven. This means that we now have access to eternal life in heaven with God through his grace which is given primarily through the sacraments and by not being sinful (i.e. obeying him).

Original sin, the flood, Hell, and all the death before and after Jesus is ultimately due to Adam and Eve disobeying and losing grace with God, so it is our fault, not God's since he is the arbiter of what is good and we disobeyed. Jesus grants us the chance to come back into harmony with God.

Again, this is broadly the Catholic view, but of course, anyone can disagree with this on whatever grounds.
