Woundwise: Dissolution, Abjective Ecology, Subversive Becoming
Post-structuralist theory as lived survival technology. Created through human-AI collaboration, this book is a methodology for working creatively with breakdown, shame, and dissolution—as new forms of collective intelligence.

Two Books, One Experimental Pedagogy
These works function as complementary technologies for the same philosophical project: making post-structuralist concepts accessible as lived practice rather than abstraction.
Woundwise
Fluid dissolution and boundary collapse—theoretical methodology for working with breakdown creatively.
Slickens
Mercury contamination and landscape devastation. Dissolution as embodied through poisoned memory and environmental collapse.
Ink bleeding into unexpected colors. Mercury seeping into consciousness. Different mediums, the same exploration—how boundaries dissolve, what emerges from breakdown.
Forthcoming: Slickens
1880s California. Jakob, a German immigrant dying of mercury poisoning from hydraulic mining waste, begins a final 21-day journey through the Sierra Nevada. As environmental toxicity dissolves the boundaries of his memory, his fragmented consciousness becomes a meditation on poisoned landscapes, marginalized survival, and the terrible beauty found in letting go.
Where Woundwise explores dissolution through ink and theory, Slickens finds it in mercury and devastated earth—historical fiction as embodied philosophy, for breaking down as transformation.

Brian L. Plescher writes at the intersection of post-structuralist theory and lived resistance, exploring how concepts like dissolution, abjection, and creative breakdown function as survival technologies. His work emerges from collaborations with AI, mutual aid networks, and those practicing transformation through breakdown.
With advanced studies in philosophy and strategic leadership (MSU, Yale School of Management), his projects bridge the theory-practice divide, examining how crisis connects to collective transformation—positioning literature as methodology for creative becoming.
Essays & Embodied Theory
Explorations in abjective ecology, technological resistance, and the productive terror of boundaries collapsing. These writings demonstrate the concepts that drive both books—philosophy as experimental practice, breakdown as creative methodology.
