DESCRIPTION:

This is a seminar unfolding from our curiosity about the philosophical history of Iran, and our desire to become acquainted with contemporary, and in particular idiosyncratic, thinkers who find their lineage and influences rooted in this region of the world. Previous texts covered by the group include Alireza Doostdar's "The Iranian Metaphysicals and Jason Mohaghegh's "Omnicide". This week we'll begin Reza Negarestani's "Cyclonpedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials". We hope you'll join us!
