Fredric Jameson’s most wide-ranging work seeks to crystalize a definition of ”postmodernism”. Jameson’s inquiry looks at the postmodern across a wide landscape, from “high” art to “low” from market ideology to architecture, from painting to “punk” film, from video art to literature.

After living in the White House for four years, in November 1980, Jimmy Carter lost the presidential election to Republican Ronald Reagan in a landslide. Carter's unpopularity helped Republicans win seats in the House and gain control over the Senate for the first time in over 20 years. The Reagan Era had begun, ushering in a generation of conservative power. Democrats blamed Carter for this catastrophe and spent the next decade pretending he had never existed.

John Taylor Gatto's Weapons of Mass Instruction focuses on mechanisms of traditional education which cripple imagination, discourage critical thinking, and create a false view of learning as a byproduct of rote-memorization drills. Gatto's earlier book, Dumbing Us Down, introduced the now-famous expression of the title into the common vernacular. Weapons of Mass Instruction adds another chilling metaphor to the brief against conventional schooling.

Zukunftsschmiede 🎙️✨ Seit einigen Jahren bin ich Teil des politischen Betriebs: erst ehrenamtlich, inzwischen als Landtagsabgeordnete für München-Pasing. Und immer stärker spüre ich ein Störgefühl: So wie Politik gerade funktioniert, funktioniert sie nicht mehr. Wir hetzen von Termin zu Termin, sitzen in endlosen Sitzungen – und verlieren dabei das Wichtigste aus dem Blick: ➡️ Was ist eigentlich die Vision für unser Land? Immer öfter habe ich das Gefühl, dass wir nur noch die Gegenwart verwalten, statt die Zukunft zu gestalten. Darum starte ich diesen Podcast als ...

Low-level dishonesty is rife everywhere, in the form of exaggeration, selective use of facts, economy with the truth, careful drafting - from Trump and the Brexit debate to companies that tell us 'your call is important to us'. How did we get to a place where bullshit is not just rife but apparently so effective that it's become the communications strategy of our times? This brilliantly insightful book steps inside the panoply of deception employed in all walks of life and assesses how it has come to this.

What, exactly, is post-truth? Is it wishful thinking, political spin, mass delusion, bold-faced lying? McIntyre analyzes recent examples - claims about inauguration crowd size, crime statistics, and the popular vote - and finds that post-truth is an assertion of ideological supremacy by which its practitioners try to compel someone to believe something regardless of the evidence. Yet post-truth didn't begin with the 2016 election; the denial of scientific facts about smoking, evolution, vaccines, and climate change offers a road map for more widespread fact denial.

Liberal democracy is the dominant political ideology in the West today. Taken at face value it suggests an equivalency between its two central components-liberalism and democracy - but as Fred Dallmayr argues here, the two operate in very different registers. The two frequently conflict, endangering our public life. This is evident in the rise of self-centered neo-liberalism as well as autocratic movements in our world today.

Our overwhelmingly divisive socio-political climate is among the greatest challenges of our time. Not only in America but also internationally, it seems that almost every issue raises incredibly vocal oppositional views. Not least of all, the arising of vast networks of disinformation is a testament to our deepening rifts. With so much hostility, antagonism, cynicism, and discord, how can we mend the ruptures in our society?

America's history, distorted. A nation built on stories - some true, some rewritten, some entirely false.For centuries, America has wrestled with the truth—shaping, distorting, and, at times, outright fabricating it to fit political agendas, fuel wars, and create heroes. But in the digital age, where misinformation spreads faster than ever, the very concept of truth itself is unraveling. Post-Truth (formerly Hoax) is a deep dive into the history of deception in America, from the founding myths that shaped the nation to the modern forces that have turned fact into fiction.
