Tear and Loathing in Las Vegas by ja_meister published on 2021-02-28T14:56:17Z Translation: https://cryptpad.fr/file/#/2/file/8wDHKjSfZVphzHkBt2YzMuE4/ First Broadcast: Deutschlandfunk Kultur, 29.10.2020, 22:03 Production: independent author: Juerg Andreas Meister "Becoming-animal is not a metaphor. Becoming-animal is real. However, this does not mean you will end up as a chicken!" Comforting words from the philosopher Angelika Seppi. But then, what does becoming-animal mean? The often abstract and opaque thoughts of French post-structuralists Deleuze/Guattari will be our equipment on a savage trip to Las Vegas, along with a trunk full of drugs and mixtapes. It turns out that Hunter S. Thompson's novel "Fear and Loathing" is far more than a piece of narco-infused autofiction: An anti-authoritarian guide towards becoming-revolutionary, towards becoming-animal (Tier-Werden).
