The Quest for the Spiritual: A Basis for a Radical Analysis of Religion – Feral Faun

by Feral FaunThis civilized, technological, commodity culture in which we live is a wasteland. For most people, most of the time, life is dull and empty, lacking vibrancy, adventure, passion and ecstasy. It’s no surprise that many people search beyond the realm of their normal daily existence for something more. It is in this light that we need to understand the quest for the spiritual.

Il male minore Dominique Miséin

Alcuni anni or sono, in occasione di una scadenza elettorale, un celebre giornalista italiano invitò i propri lettori a turarsi il naso e a compiere il proprio dovere di cittadini, recandosi a votare per il partito allora al potere. Il giornalista era ben consapevole che all’olfatto della gente quel partito emanava il fetore di decenni di putridume istituzionale — soprusi, corruzione, malaffare — ma la sola alternativa politica disponibile sul mercato, la sinistra, gli sembrava ancor più nefasta. Non rimaneva quindi che turarsi il naso e votare per i governanti già al potere.

De proletario a individuo: Hacia una comprensión anarquista de la Clase [Willful Disobedience]

Las relaciones sociales de clase y explotación no son simples. Las concepciones obreristas, que están basadas en la idea de una clase objetivamente revolucionaría definida en cuanto a su relación con los medios de producción, ignoran la multitud de aquell@s en todo el mundo cuyas vidas les son robadas por el actual orden social pero que no pueden encontrar sitio dentro de sus aparatos productivos. Por tanto estas concepciones acaban presentando una comprensión limitada y simplista de la explotación y la transformación revolucionaria.

Ma che storia è questa? Adreba Solneman

Definizione della storia

Qui ed ora comincia la storia. Lo spontaneo, l’immediato, il presente sono l’inizio della storia. Il passato è una introduzione che, come tutte le introduzioni, è scritta a cose fatte, nell’avvenire, nella riflessione, nella mediazione. Il presente comincia la storia, e il passato concede tempo a questo inizio.

Beyond Earth First! Toward a feral revolution of desire by Feral Faun

Last year, Fifth Estate published a critique of Deep Ecology which included criticisms of certain people who use the slogan “Earth First!”. This has led to a fairly intense dialogue. As I have read this dialogue it has become clear to me that most people–including those who call themselves EF!ers-aren’t really sure what EF! is.

A Wrecking Ball for Ivory Towers by Feral Faun

It seems to have become a given among many anti-authoritarians that radical theory is an academic pursuit. On the one hand, there are the ideological activists who accuse anyone who attempts to critically analyze society or their own activities in a way that goes beyond the latest hip anarchist sloganeering of being armchair intellectuals or academics. On the other hand, there are those who supplement the income of their academic/intellectual professions by writing tracts criticizing society, the left or even their own professions, but in such abstract and insubstantial terms as to be meaningless in relation to their lives. These intellectual “radicals” and anti-intellectual activists remain equally enslaved to society’s discourse. Radical theory is elsewhere.
