7M ago2:59:49

2:59:49

In this session, we look at the so-called ‘affective turn’ in the humanities and social sciences since the late 1990s.

2:43:45

In this session we were joined by Tracie Matysik to discuss the very idea of a Spinozan philosophy beyond the writings of Baruch Spinoza himself, and particular in the work of Marx.

Introducing Affect 1:20:19

1:20:19

What is ‘affect’, why does it matter, and why did people working in the humanities and social sciences start talking about it so much from the 1990s onwards?

2:29:46

How does Spinoza fit into the history of Western (and world) philosophy? To what is he relevant outside of academic philosophy?

1:56:38

While mainstream commentators and far-right apologists insist that that the great political divide today is between different sets of cultural ‘values’, the fact is that nothing correlates with voting Tory as closely as being an outright homeowner with a secure pension. Is this coincidence, or is the social and generation divide between those with …

Veganism (or, at least, consumption of “plant based” foods) has exploded in the last few years.

Can Precarious Workers Be Organised? 1:48:54

In this episode, we’ll hear about the time when one power company went rogue and threw a transmission line across the Oklahoma border. This is the story of why they tried and how they failed to build a bridge off the island — an…

A year and a half after the blackout, lots of Texans are still wondering if they can rely on the power grid. After conservation alerts and one pretty close call this summer, it can seem like the grid is still on a knife’s edge. We look at what’s changed, what hasn’t and how that lack of trust is playing out in one Texan’s life. The Disconnect Seaso…
