We Only Make Chaos

Deterritorialize your childhood. We are descending into the abyssal depths of Atlantica to map the flows of power, voice, and commodity in Disney’s The Little Mermaid (1989). In this episode of We Only Make Chaos, we bypass the molar structures of "happily ever after" to examine Ursula’s cavern as a Body-without-Organs—a zone of pure production where the State’s territorialized desires are liquefi...

This is a special interruption featuring the short story Blue Violence—a chronicle of a relationship that breathes in the friction of the edges, where reality breaks and the fun finally starts.

We move past the surface-level rebellion to disse...

Harry is not a character; Harry is a Body without Organs—a smooth surface upon which the villagers project their molar anxieties and territorial impulses.

A cross-country trip into the heart of the American shadow. This week, we dissect the 1993 cult classic Kalifornia, exploring the distance between academic fascination with violence and its visceral, chaotic reality. "I'm interested in the why. The social conditions, the childhood trauma, the fracture points that make a person kill." In this transmission, we follow Brian and Carrie’s cross-country...
