Two books by friends – Stefanos Geroulanos, The Invention of Prehistory and Eduardo Mendieta, The Philosophical Animal, the reprint edition of Antoine Meillet’s Linguistique historique et linguistique générale, a hard-to-find copy of Georges Dumézil’s Aspects de la fonction guerrière chez les indo-européens, and R.O. Paxton, O. Corpet and C. Paulhan’s Archives de la vie littéraire sous l’occupation.
I discuss how this book of Dumézil’s is revised into Heur et malheur du Guerrier: Aspects mythiques de la fonction guerrière chez les Indo-Européens, in two editions, the first of which is in English as The Destiny of the Warrior, here.
Many thanks to Eduardo and W.W. Norton for sending those books.

Hi Stuart, is The Philosophical Animal a paperback or hardcover/ dust jacket, as SUNYPress have only said they’re publishing a hardcover for now. Thanks. M.
It’s a hardcover, but with the cover on the book itself rather than a separate dust jacket.

Ecological Materialism and Logistical Strategy w/ Dr. Jeff Diamanti
In this episode, we are joined by Jeff Diamanti to discuss what it looks like to watch the climate change. Our conversation shifts from analytical, aesthetic, and political perspectives, as we turn our attention from critical raw materials to the future cartographies already being carved out. We explore Jeff’s notion of the terminal as the kind of space where capitalism abstracts matter and value becomes concrete.
