C. Derick Varn tries to start to pin down a working definition of ideology, beginning with the common dictionary definition but working through its origins in the classical liberalism of the post-revolutionary French Enlightenment and the history of the coiner of the term, Antoinne DeStutt de Tracy.

On this episode of Zer0 Books Archives, Will and Craig of Acid Horizon are joined by Stephen Shapiro and Philip Barnard to discuss their translation of Guery’s and Deluele’s The Productive Body. The Productive Body was a remarkably influential text that was foundational to Foucault’s treatment of the body in works such as Discipline and Punish. Yet, it remained relatively unknown in the anglophone world. This book attempts to unpack Marx’s conception of the division of labor, large-scale industry, and cooperation with the goal showing how capitalist production breaks down the body and reformulates it, producing something new and essential – the productive body.

In this episode of Zer0 Books Archives, Craig of Acid Horizon is joined by Adam Kotsko to discuss his oeuvre on uncomfortable feelings both as they are felt and operationalized under neoliberal hegemony. Adam's most recent work on the subject can be found in his book 'Creepiness' (Zer0 books, 2015), but the discussion traverses both a broad and nuanced phenomenology elaborated throughout his other works.
