Antagonisms of the Everyday: Philosophy, Culture, PoliticsPolitics and Philosophy on the irregularities and antagonisms of everyday life. Focusing on US,UK, European politics and political theory, psychoanalysis and continental philosophy, and neuroscience, culture, and literature.By Rafael Holmberg Rafael Holmberg is a PhD student in philosophy and psychoanalytic theory. His publications primarily focus on the intersection between political theory, continental philosophy, French and Freudian psychoanalysis, and German Idealism. In "Antagonisms of the Everyday" Holmberg uses these frameworks to interrogate the political status quo, the nature of psychoanalysis, and the potential for violence, delving into a variety of antagonisms and contradictions in contemporary culture. Thus the name of this insightful Substack, one of my favorite finds in the past couple weeks.
