Podcast appearances and mentions of Alex Niven

Re-Air from August 15,2024 There's so much culture now that it can be hard just to keep up, let alone to think about it all as a whole… but that only makes the effort to find perspective more important. It's not always clear when you're in the thick of it, but almost certainly when people in the future look back, they will see more clearly than we do the common concerns beneath the fragmented surface of the culture of the 2020s. The literary scholar Anna Kornbluh has an idea about all this. She argues that what characterizes the art of the now might be, in fact a particular hunger for now-ness. Her book published this year by Verso is called “Immediacy or the Style of Too Late Capitalism.” Across a broad array of culture, both high and low, Kornbluh tracks, as she writes, “immediacy as a master category for making sense of 21st century cultural production.” She shows how the drive towards immediacy can help explain a vast array of developments and asks why. It's a thin but challenging book. Immediacy was Ben Davis's pick for our summer reading list, and we're not the only ones who has found it useful. In the magazine Art Review, author Alex Niven wrote that Kornbluh has done better than almost anyone in recent memory to define the elusive claustrophobic spirit of the age. It's heady terrain to explore, and this week on the podcast, Kornbluh joins Ben Davis to guide us through it.

This week​,​ Rob Parsons speaks to an author who's asked the question: How did the North become a place of lost potential and broken dreams? And what can be done to make it one of the most dynamic and forward-looking places in the world once again? Alex Niven is the man behind the book The North Will Rise Again, which covers the colourful adventures of its inhabitants, the expansiveness and optimism that defines Northern culture, A native Northerner himself, having returned to his home city of Newcastle with his family in the last few years, Alex explores issues like radical regionalism, Northern identity austerity, the impact of Brexit, the collapse of Labour's 'Red Wall', and calls for regional devolution. ​Meanwhile, with a General Election coming this year and Labour miles ahead in the polls, ​i​t's high time we scrutinised what a change of Government might mean for the North of England. It's been very easy for Keir Starmer's Labour Party to slam the failings of levelling up and the promises of the Boris Johnson Government that failed to materialise, but voters up here deserve to know exactly what the Opposition would do differently if they got into power. So how much do we know about Labour's policies which might affect the North? Someone who's been looking at just that subject is Joseph Timan, political writer for the Manchester Evening News​,​ he tells Rob what we've learned. Learn more about your ad choices.

Support for nationalist politics is growing across the world. The campaign for Brexit catalysed a convergence between mainstream conservatives and the far-right behind an exclusionary vision of Britain. Meanwhile, we are seeing growing support for independence amongst progressives in Scotland, Ireland and Wales. What is driving support for nationalism and what are the differences between these distinct forms of nationalism? Join speakers from across the nations to discuss the remaking of the British isles. With Adam Ramsay, Rory Scothorne, Harriet Protheroe-Soltani, Alex Niven & Allison Morris.

Jack interviews writer, poet and lecturer Alex Niven, whose new book argues that the map of the British Isles should be torn up, that instead of pandering to patriotism we must move toward radical regionalism.-------------------------------------------- Mandatory Redistribution Party was created and produced by Sean Morley and Jack Evans.

In our second and final release from Jack's visit to Southampton Transformed, Reel Politik present an unedited recording of the panel he spoke on, New Left Culture, which asked "How can we change the ways we live and think to raise our consciousness and experience true collective joy?" The panel was chaired by Marika Rose (@MarikaRose on Twitter) and Rose Holyoak (@RoseHolyoak) of Southampton's Radical Reading Group (@radical_reading) and also featured writer and New Socialist culture co-editor Rhian Jones (@RhianEJones), 'Authentocrats' author and former Reel Politik guest Joe Kennedy (@joekennedy81) and Alex Niven, author of books such as 'Folk Opposition', the forthcoming 'New Model Island', and - apparently - a book on Oasis' seminal debut Definitely Maybe. To paraphrase the great Tim Heidecker, when you got panels like Rhian Jones, Joe Kennedy and Alex Niven in 'em, you can't lose! PS. If you make it to the Q&A you can hear Jack's VICIOUS TAKEDOWN of some besuited Blairite nerd in the audience.

Mark Fisher (1968-2017), aka k-punk, was one of the most sensitive and original Leftist writers the internet age has yet produced. In both his major work, Capitalist Realism, and his many essays and blog posts, Fisher expounded on literature, technology, and pop culture from a class-conscious but undogmatic perspective. For his gentle but firm critique of the pseudo-progressive call-out culture that still dominates online spaces, "Exiting the Vampire Castle," he was viciously - but predictably - attacked by petulant children obsessed by a bourgeois sense of proprietary, disguised as liberal political sentiment. In this episode, Joe & Josh discuss his legacy and ask how his thought and writing offer an alternative to both the toxicity of the Alt-Right and the narcissism of the fake Left.“Exiting the Vampire Castle” by Mark Fisher, The North Star, 2013http://www.thenorthstar.info/?p=11299 “Mark Fisher, 1968-2017” by Alex Niven, Jacobin, 2017https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/01/mark-fisher-capitalist-realism-vampire-castle/ “The Safety Pin and The Swastika” by Shuja Haider, Viewpoint, 2017https://www.viewpointmag.com/2017/01/04/the-safety-pin-and-the-swastika/Let us know what you think: essayquestionspodcast@gmail.com
