Exclusive lecture by the philosopher and Ph.D. Joel Regev: "The general line: protocols of radical tejing" Automatic translate

On November 29, as part of the open program of the Higher School of Education “Russian Contemporary Art in Actors”, an exclusive lecture by the philosopher and Ph.D.

Politicians of the time, the multi-temporality of new media, the multiplicity of the past, the destruction of the prison of time with the help of hyperversion: on all sides we are surrounded by talk about the non-linear nature of time and the possibility of changing the past. Nevertheless, these conversations inevitably run into our own deep skepticism. There seems to be an instance within us that makes us perceive them as not quite serious, as related only to interpretation, as true only with one or another reservation. What is this instance? Is it possible to overcome its effect? Can activities to change the past move from the field of popular culture and speculative theory to everyday practice? How to end the interrupted revolution of the New Time - the revolution, as a result of which we gained power over time only by half, being split into two, acting behind us?

The lecture is devoted to the answer to these questions. We will touch upon the history of theoretical attempts to justify the possibility of influencing the past, such as the theory of “mastery of time” by Valerian Muravyov and the techno-magic of Nick Land and the CCRU group. The fundamental half-heartedness of these attempts will be contrasted with the project of radical tejing: activities for re-cutting and converting time series. Only the speculative intervention of co-presidential philosophy creates the basis for such activities to cease to be the property of utopian dreams and dark prophecies and to become real. Kabbalistic Bolshevism versus Lemurian magic: this is the main confrontation that defines the current agenda.
