Present Progressive Mood
A blog that critiques the politics of literature and the media in general, while commenting on other social issues such as race, class and gender.

Sprouted in San Diego, CA. Interpellated in alien Midwest universities. Thivai is a dialogic provocateur searching for viable alternative/oppositional cultures. I’m extremely interested in heacommunity about new projects online, anything from small/independent presses, innovative educational ventures, to art projects and music labels, to neighborhood stories and subcultures. In Kathy Acker's disturbing novel "Empire of the Senseless" Thivai and Abhor are the two main characters. These two characters are products of a horribly diseased society and I combine the names in order to give expression to the absurdity of strict dualistic systems and to celebrate the wondrous chaotic creativity of relational thinking. Thivai Abhor is the revolution of the senses--freedom of expression, the mind virus that will eat the system from the inside out. Thivai Abhor is a catalyzing enteran that seeks to alter the corrupt system through pirated words and frenzied emotional responses. Thivai Abhor operates in the margins of mutated meanings, seeking a new way of being, becoming, understanding and knowing. Thivai Abhor is the monstrous result of a system that eats its young.

Expanding collection of work from continental, modern, and postmodern philosophy and aesthetic theory. Whole, primary texts as well as video interviews with the theorists and audio recordings. Baruch Spinoza through Paul Virillio.
