I can't help but think of this article discussed in Ruha Benjamin's Race After Technology.

![[Rirette Maîtrejean] described the “tragic bandits” of the Bonnot gang as refusing to eat meat or drink wine, preferring plain water. Her humorous comments reflected the practices of the “naturist” wing of individualist anarchists who favored a simpler, more “natural” lifestyle centered on a vegetarian diet. In the 1920s, this wing was expressed by the journal Le Néo-Naturien, Revue des Idées Philosophiques et Naturiennes. Contributors condemned the fashion of smoking cigarettes, especially by young women; a long article of 1927 actually connected cigarette smoking with cancer! Others distinguished between vegetarians, who foreswore the eating of meat, from the stricter “vegetalians,” who ate nothing but vegetables. An anarchist named G. Butaud, who made this distinction, opened a restaurant called the Foyer Végétalien in the nineteenth arrondissement in 1923. Other issues of the journal included vegetarian recipes. In 1925, when the young anarchist and future detective novelist Léo Malet arrived in Paris from Montpellier, he initially lodged with anarchists who operated another vegetarian restaurant that served only vegetables, with neither fish nor eggs. Nutritional concerns coincided with other means of encouraging health bodies [sic], such as nudism and gymnastics. For a while in the 1920s, after they were released from jail for antiwar and birth-control activities, Jeanne and Eugène Humbert retreated to the relative safety of the “integral living” movement that promoted nude sunbathing and physical fitness, which were seen as integral aspects of health in the Greek sense of gymnos, meaning nude. This back-to-nature, primitivist current was not a monopoly of the left; the same interests were echoed by right-wing Germans in the interwar era. In France, however, these proclivities were mostly associated with anarchists, insofar as they suggested an ideal of self-control and the rejection of social taboos and prejudices.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yked2zpb225cya5imxxjgcge/bafkreiaczrlvjoh4fwuoi6lzkyped74pqeoqwxdj34pfviu7ws5uon6sl4)
![A
Abattoir - a slaughterhouse.
Far from being a constitutive performance of genteel medical science, anatomy has affinities with the abattoir.
Abeyance - a state of temporary disuse or suspension.
Black Communist women’s work demonstrates how the years from the 1920s to the 1950s were hardly a period of feminist abeyance as was once believed.
Ablation - the removal or destruction of a body part or tissue or its function.
Here we are no longer in a logic of predatory appropriation but rather in a rationality of salutary ablation and beneficent exclusion.
Abortifacient - (chiefly of a drug) causing abortion.
Why do “we” (many men and surely fewer women) know so little about the clitoris (see Nancy Tuana, this volume), or laws of nature classified for national security, or indigenous abortifacients (see Londa Schiebinger, this volume), or the countless Xs or Ys or Zs that we cannot even name, given how low they fly under the radar?
Abreaction - the expression and consequent release of a previously repressed emotion, achieved through reliving the experience that caused it (typically through hypnosis or suggestion).
The skill of the single fighters was fine, but lacked the splendid abreactive release of mass killing.
Abstemious - not self-indulgent, especially when eating or drinking.
The rule of a systematic, abstemious reason over the impulsive, desirous “animal economy” produced a temperance body.
Abstruse - difficult to understand; obscure.
[See definition for recondite.]
Accretion - a thing formed or added by gradual growth or increase.
We are, in the end, an accretion of all notions of posture, whether we accept or reject them, that we map on our own sense of self.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yked2zpb225cya5imxxjgcge/bafkreigfbvfo6bja5fq5yzi7iglfipntgqmhrry7qniapgalppjeuuekim)
