Podcast appearances and mentions of Bernard Harcourt

Thursday, November 9th, 2023   Bernard E. Harcourt is Isidor and Seville Sulzbacher Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science at Columbia University -- and he was also our very first guest on the podcast! Bernard's most recent book, Cooperation: A Political, Economic, and Social Theory, offers the blueprint for a society based on cooperation.   The idea of creating a space that benefits the stakeholders, rather than the shareholders, has a long history. Cooperatives offer a robust way of being. They practice self-governance among equals through democratic process. In fact, we could have democratic processes, democratic education, and democratic training in every aspect of our lives. We could even nurture a culture of democratic self-governance at work, which is traditionally one of the least democratic places in our daily lives. Cooperation democracy aims to extend the democratic culture to every facet of our lives.      Follow Bernard on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/BernardHarcourt    Follow Mila on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/milaatmos    Follow Future Hindsight on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futurehindsightpod/   Love Future Hindsight?

Contemporary critical theorist, legal advocate, and author Bernard Harcourt has developed a transformative theory and practice that builds on global models of successful cooperation. His new book, Cooperation: A Political, Economic, and Social Theory, provides a positive vision for addressing some of the world's most urgent challenges. In it, Bernard shows that by drawing on “the power of people working together,” a new world of cooperation democracy is within our grasp, one that promotes the equitable distribution of wealth, replaces the punitive punishment paradigm with a cooperation paradigm, and ensures the future of our planet.For full show notes, visit: https://www.lifteconomy.com/blog/bernard-harcourt/The spring cohort of the Next Economy MBA is officially open!

Bernard Harcourt sits down with Acid Horizon to discuss "coöperism", a theory of cooperation that encompasses various registers of social and socioeconomic interaction. From the publisher:"Liberal democracy is in crisis around the world, unable to address pressing problems such as climate change. There is, however, another path—cooperation democracy. From consumer co-ops to credit unions, worker cooperatives to insurance mutuals, nonprofits to mutual aid, countless examples prove that people working together can extend the ideals of participatory democracy and sustainability into every aspect of their lives. These forms of cooperation do not depend on electoral politics. Instead, they harness the longstanding practices and values of cooperatives: self-determination, democratic participation, equity, solidarity, and respect for the environment.Bernard E. Harcourt develops a transformative theory and practice that builds on worldwide models of successful cooperation. He identifies the most promising forms of cooperative initiatives and then distills their lessons into an integrated framework: Coöperism. This is a political theory grounded on recognition of our interdependence. It is an economic theory that can ensure equitable distribution of wealth. Finally, it is a social theory that replaces the punishment paradigm with a cooperation paradigm.A creative work of normative critical theory, Cooperation provides a positive vision for addressing our most urgent challenges today. Harcourt shows that by drawing on the core values of cooperation and the power of people working together, a new world of cooperation democracy is within our grasp."Cooperation: A Political, Economic, and Social Theory - http://cup.columbia.edu/book/cooperation/9780231209540Support the podcast:Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastZer0 Books and Repeater Media Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/zer0repeaterMerch: http://www.crit-drip.comOrder 'The Philosopher's Tarot': https://repeaterbooks.com/product/the-philosophers-tarot/Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/169wvvhiHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.com​Revolting Bodies (Will's Blog): https://revoltingbodies.com​Split Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/​Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/Support the show

Il y a 20 ans, l'Amérique était attaquée en son cœur. Elle ripostait en déclenchant, ce que George Bush avait appelé la guerre globale contre le terrorisme. Vingt ans plus tard, les talibans chassés en 2001 sont de retour à Kaboul ce qui interroge sur la stratégie américaine, mais la société et la démocratie américaines ne sortent pas indemnes non plus de ces guerres. Dans The counterrevolution publié aux éditions Basic Books en 2018, Bernard Harcourt détaillait comment le gouvernement américain, en déclenchant des guerres en Afghanistan et en Irak, était aussi entré en guerre contre ses propres citoyens. Bernard E Harcourt, professeur de droit et de sciences politiques à l'université américaine de Columbia s'entretient avec Sylvie Noël.

Vivons heureux... (8) : Les réseaux, les enfants et nous Beaucoup d'ingénieurs de la Silicon Valley interdisent à leurs enfants d'utiliser les réseaux sociaux qu'ils ont pourtant eux-mêmes façonnés à coup de boutons "like" et de filtres à selfie. C'est gentil de nous avertir : ils estiment avoir mis au monde un monstre incontrôlable qui menace les générations futures. Cela ne nous empêche pas pour autant de naviguer chaque jour sur les eaux troubles de Facebook ou d'Instagram, mais avec une forme de mauvaise conscience et pas mal d'inquiétude.Narcissisme de masse, addiction, chronophagie, haine en ligne, déclin culturel, espionnage, troubles de l'attention... Pour arrêter de phantasmer tous azimuts et cadrer ses enfants shootés aux défis tiktok,  Delphine Saltel essaie de décortiquer la relation amour-haine que nous entretenons avec les plateformes. Sommes-nous vraiment malades des réseaux sociaux ? et si oui, de quoi exactement ? Comment vacciner ses enfants ? Les convaincre de ne pas faire tout comme Maman, scotchée à sa Timeline ?Elle appelle à la rescousse  d'autres cervelles que la sienne, cherche les bonnes questions et quelques ingrédients pour se bricoler une hygiène familiale numérique : Bernard Harcourt, le juriste américain qui a forgé la notion de “société d'exposition”, décrypte notre nouvelle ère de surveillance généralisée, tissée dans la trame même de nos narcissismes numériques. Des psychologues auscultent le règne de l'autopromo permanente et du voyeurisme , ce que l'on cherche exactement dans le reflet de nos selfies. Anne Cordier, chercheuse en sciences de la communication, analyse les usages réels des adolescents digital native. Au fil du dernier épisode de cette première saison apparaissent quelques bouées de sauvetage pour surnager dans cette vaste foire aux vanités virtuelles.

Pour se bricoler une morale minimale en des temps de crises sociale, écologique et sanitaire, Delphine Saltel (Que sont-ils devenus ?, Y'a deux écoles) explore chaque mois nos incohérences et les solutions possibles. Mêlant questionnement personnel, tribulations domestiques, reportages et entretiens avec des chercheurs et des activistes, ce nouveau podcast veut alerter, éveiller et rassurer sur un autre monde possible.

Mais le titre est un peu trompeur. Certes, la mission de Joe Biden est herculéenne, mais il a beaucoup plus que douze chantiers à effectuer. Lutte contre le virus, crise économique historique, réconciliation du pays, dérèglement climatique… La liste est longue. Le programme de Joe Biden est-il à la hauteur des chantiers qui l'attendent ? Alors que s'ouvre une nouvelle présidence, nous avons passé en revue les promesses du démocrate pour voir lesquelles pouvaient être tenues ou non. Max Paul Friedman, professeur d'histoire et doyen par intérim à l'American University à Washington, nous a aidé à y voir plus clair. ► À lire aussi sur le site et l'application du quotidien La Croix : REPORTAGE – Joe Biden face aux divisions de l'Amérique ANALYSE – La révolution verte selon Joe Biden PORTRAIT – Janet Yellen, une progressiste pour sortir les États-Unis de la récession ► Autres sujets et personnalités reçues dans "C'est ça l'Amérique" : Joseph Stiglitz, prix Nobel d'économie ; Joel Benenson, stratège des campagnes de Barack Obama et d'Hillary Clinton ; Raphaël Liogier, sociologue et philosophe ; Benjamin Haddad, membre du think tank Atlantic Council ; Célia Belin, chercheuse à la Brookings Institution ; Claude Grunitzky, journaliste fondateur de la plateforme média True Africa ; Roger Cohen, éditorialiste au New York Times ; Charlotte Thomas-Hebert, doctorante à la Sorbonne ; Bernard Harcourt, professeur de droit à l'université Columbia ; Tristan Cabello, historien spécialiste des États-Unis à l'université Johns Hopkins ; Gabriel Scheinmann, directeur de l'Alexander Hamilton Society ; Max Paul Friedman, professeur d'histoire et doyen par intérim à l'American University à Washington.  ► Retrouvez sur le site de La Croix notre dossier spécial Élection présidentielle américaine 2020.

Plusieurs centaines de supporteurs de Donald Trump assiègent le Capitole, entraînant la mort de cinq personnes. Il faut remonter à 1814 pour trouver trace de pareil assaut contre le cœur de la démocratie - l'armée britannique y avait alors mis le feu. Aujourd'hui, c'est le parti républicain qui est en flamme, divisé face à une procédure de destitution visant le futur ex-président, accusé d'avoir encouragé l'émeute. Entre lancement de son propre média ou nouvelle candidature en 2024, quel est l'avenir de Donald Trump ? Qui portera ses idées dans l'arène politique après son départ le 20 janvier ?

Counterrevolution Since 9/11 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, US warfare has focused on counterinsurgency. America now uses this counterrevolutionary playbook to govern domestically. Counterrevolutionary theory identifies a passive majority in all populations and a small insurgency. The first step is to brutally eliminate the rebellion, and then win over the passive majority. Using counterrevolutionary measures necessitates creating an internal enemy—for instance, Muslims, immigrants, minorities, or ANTIFA. Counterinsurgency establishes brutal violence as a policy, which quickly becomes the norm, as we’ve seen with the current level of government violence directed at US citizens. Legalizing Brutality America is a profoundly legalistic country, which looks to the law for the protection of rights. At the same time, it also has a long history of rendering questionable actions legal. The CIA redefined torture under the Bush Administration to require organ failure, which legalized many torture techniques that fell short of this standard. The summary drone strike execution of US citizen Anwar al-Awlaki required a 41-page legal memo to frame it as legal under due process. Prisoners are legally held indefinitely in Guantanamo Bay through convoluted legal justification. Counterinsurgency requires state-sponsored violence, and America is adept at legalizing actions that are normally viewed as illegal to achieve this. Once these actions are legalized, they then become normalized. Abolition Democracy To move past counterrevolution as a governing theory, we should look to WEB Dubois’s idea of Abolition Democracy. Abolition Democracy stated that no action was taken after slavery’s end to support former slaves with education, employment, and other necessities. Because of this failure, we are still combatting the legacy of slavery in the US. Abolition theory can be applied to the counterrevolution as well. We cannot merely disassemble the drones and/or shutter the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp. We need a new governing paradigm, new institutions, and new norms to ensure we move away from the institutionalized brutality of counterinsurgency in a country with no insurgents. Find out more: Bernard E. Harcourt is a distinguished contemporary critical theorist, justice advocate, and prolific writer and editor. In his books, articles, and teaching, his scholarship focuses on social and critical theory with a particular interest in punishment and surveillance. Harcourt is the founding director of the Columbia Center for Contemporary Critical Thought, which brings contemporary theory to bear on current social problems and seeks to address them through practical engagement including litigation and public policy interventions. He is also the executive director of Columbia University’s Eric H. Holder Initiative for Civil and Political Rights, which sponsors courses, public events, student internships, and fellowships dedicated to strengthening the pillars of all communities—truth, justice, and law. Harcourt is the author or editor of more than a dozen books. Critique & Praxis (2020) charts a vision for political action and social transformation. In The Counterrevolution: How Our Government Went to War Against Its Own Citizens (2018), Harcourt examines how techniques of counterinsurgency warfare spread to U.S. domestic policy. Harcourt served as a law clerk for Judge Charles S. Haight Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. He began his legal career representing death row inmates, working with Bryan Stevenson at what is now the Equal Justice Initiative, in Montgomery, Alabama.

Le podcast de LA CROIX sur l'Amérique de Donald Trump. En partenariat avec le programme Alliance–Columbia et French Morning. Si Joe Biden a gagné l'élection présidentielle américaine, Donald Trump a tout de même obtenu plus de 70 millions de voix. L'ère Trump, craint la romancière Claire Messud, n'est sans doute pas terminée. L'auteure de plusieurs romans à succès livre dans ce podcast sa vision des États-Unis et du rêve américain. ► Résumé de l'épisode : L'ère Trump touche-t-elle à son terme ou ne fait-elle que commencer ? Déclaré vainqueur de la présidentielle, samedi 7 novembre, Joe Biden doit être formellement investi à la tête des États-Unis le 20 janvier. L'équipe de campagne de Donald Trump cherche à contester les résultats provisoires de l'élection, mais peu de juristes considèrent que ses requêtes aboutiront.

Le podcast de LA CROIX sur l'Amérique de Donald Trump. En partenariat avec le programme Alliance–Columbia et French Morning. En nommant à la Cour suprême la conservatrice Amy Coney Barrett, Donald Trump renforce son empreinte sur le pouvoir judiciaire des États-Unis. Bernard Harcourt, professeur de droit à Columbia University, explique l'enjeu que représente la Cour suprême à la veille des élections américaines. ► Résumé de l'épisode : La Cour suprême est une institution méconnue et pourtant essentielle dans l'architecture institutionnelle américaine. Porteuse du pouvoir judiciaire avec ses neuf juges, elle est chargée de contrôler la constitutionnalité des lois et des actes du gouvernement. Elle a le pouvoir de les abroger ou de les réécrire, voire de changer le cours du pays comme le rappellent ses grands arrêts fondateurs, notamment en 1973 avec "Roe v Wade" sur la légalisation de l'avortement. À la veille de la présidentielle américaine, Alors que se poursuit la bataille pour la nomination d'Amy Coney Barrett, désignée par Donald Trump pour succéder à la progressiste Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Bernard Harcourt, professeur de droit à Columbia University, explique les enjeux de la Cour suprême et l'obsession qu'elle génère au sein des conservateurs et du président Donald Trump qui veut ainsi laisser son empreinte sur le pouvoir judiciaire. ► A lire aussi sur le site et l'application du quotidien La Croix : ANALYSE – États-Unis : un décès à la Cour suprême redonne la main à Donald Trump PORTRAIT – Amy Coney Barrett, une fervente catholique à la Cour suprême EXPLICATION – L'impact durable de Donald Trump sur la justice fédérale ► Autres sujets et personnalités reçues dans "C'est ça l'Amérique" : Joseph Stiglitz, prix Nobel de l'économie ; Joel Benenson, stratège des campagnes de Barack Obama et d'Hillary Clinton ; Raphaël Liogier, sociologue et philosophe ; Benjamin Haddad, membre du think tank Atlantic Council ; Célia Belin, chercheuse à la Brookings Institution ; Claude Grunitzky, journaliste fondateur de la plateforme média True Africa… Parmi les sujets abordés : Les États qui font l'élection ; La politique internationale de Donald Trump ; L'homme blanc, un mythe en péril ; Afro-américain, la lutte inachevée… ► Retrouvez sur le site de La Croix notre dossier spécial Élection présidentielle américaine 2020.

Columbia University professor Bernard Harcourt lays out the multi-decade history of paramilitarized politics in the U.S., how the tactics of the “War on Terror” have come back to American soil, and why no one talks about drone strikes anymore.  Academy Award-winning director Michael Moore talks about his recent visit from the FBI in connection to the pipe bomb packages and who he thinks should run against Trump in 2020.  Journalist and lawyer Josie Duffy Rice analyzes the battle over vote counts in Florida and Georgia, the Republican campaign to suppress black voters, the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, and why she isn’t protesting the firing of Jeff Sessions.  Jeremy Scahill explains why Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer need to go away.

Bernard Harcourt, author of The Counterrevolution: How Our Government Went To War Against Its Own Citizens, joins the show for a conversation on President Donald Trump and what Bernard calls the Counterrevolution. He outlines counterinsurgency and its objectives and how it accelerated after the September 11th attacks to become a form of government in the United States. We discuss how Trump and his administration is counterinsurgency on steroids and highlight Cesar Sayoc, who was arrested for allegedly sending mail-bombs to targets of Trump's vitriol.

New Books in the Arts and Sciences at Columbia University: a podcast featuring audio from the New Books Series at Columbia University and interviews with the speakers and authors. Militarized police officers with tanks and drones. Pervasive government surveillance and profiling. Social media that distract and track us. All of these, contends Bernard Harcourt, are facets of a new and radical governing paradigm in the United States–one rooted in the modes of warfare originally developed to suppress anticolonial revolutions and, more recently, to prosecute the war on terror. The Counterrevolution is a penetrating and disturbing account of the rise of counterinsurgency, first as a military strategy but increasingly as a way of ruling ordinary Americans. Harcourt shows how counterinsurgency’s principles–bulk intelligence collection, ruthless targeting of minorities, pacifying propaganda–have taken hold domestically despite the absence of any radical uprising. This counterrevolution against phantom enemies, he argues, is the tyranny of our age. Seeing it clearly is the first step to resisting it effectively. Bernard Harcourt is Isidor and Seville Sulzbacher Professor of Law, Professor of Political Science, and director of the Columbia Center for Contemporary Critical Thought at Columbia University.

Bernard Harcourt is an author, lawyer, and critical theorist. In our conversation, we discover that civic engagement is a learned skill, the power of collective action, and the importance of remembering our truths and values. Voting is a learned skill  A study showed that children who experienced the voting process or political conversations with their parents showed more civic engagement. It's a skill that can be learned and should be promoted. Children and young people should learn that they can, how, and where to participate. Civic engagement is a fun, interesting, and important activity. Civic engagement is our daily bread  Speak with others about political questions and social justice issues. Communicate with a representative or senator -- even if it's not your own -- and share what we are thinking will influence the way they engage in debates. Writing reflections and thoughts about the political situation in local newspapers or online is another way to engage. And remember to vote. Every vote counts! Take a step back and remember your truth  Once a day, try to center yourself and go through your comments and thoughts of the day. "Did I say the things that i believe in?" Take a step back and determine what is important, what your values and ethical beliefs are. Then recalibrate life, work, and personal communications in order to reflect your values. It's an important, challenging, and time-consuming process. Find out more Bernard E. Harcourt is an author, justice advocate, and critical theorist specialized in social and political theory, the sociology of punishment, and penal law and procedure. He is the Executive Director of the Eric H. Holder Initiative for Civil and Political Rights, and the founding director of the Columbia Center for Contemporary Critical Thought at Columbia University.  

The Future Hindsight podcast launched on January 20, 2018. Join us for our premier episode where we interview Bernard Harcourt to speak about civic engagement and The Holder Initiative.

The landscape described in Bernard Harcourt‘s new book is a dystopia saturated by pleasure. We do not live in a drab Orwellian world, he writes. We live in a beautiful, colorful, stimulating, digital world a rich, bright world full of passion and jouissance–and by means of which we reveal ourselves and make ourselves virtually transparent to surveillance. Exposed: Desire and Disobedience in the Digital Age (Harvard University Press, 2015) guides us through our new digital age, one that makes it so easy for others to monitor, profile, and shape our every desire. We are building what he calls the expository society a platform for unprecedented levels of exhibition, watching, and influence that is reconfiguring our political relations and reshaping our notions of what it means to be an individual. Other actors from advertisers to government agencies can compile huge amounts of information about who we are and what we do. Whether they use it to recommend other products to buy or track our movements, Harcourt argues that the influence and interests of other actors is often hidden from us. Despite leaks of classified materials about the extent of this surveillance, public outrage is limited and mild. The scale of data collection and tracking is not a national let alone a global scandal. According to Exposed, are appetites are too well satisfied and our attentions too distracted. Harcourt prods us to practice digital disobedience, lest we will remain in a digital mesh that will only continue to restrict our privacy and anonymity underneath its beautiful, shiny suit. John Balz is Director of Strategy at VML, a full-service marketing agency with offices around the globe. He has spent his career applying behavioral science strategies in the marketing and advertising field through direct mail and email, display and .coms, mobile messaging, e-commerce and social media.

In September 2010, the French Parliament made it illegal to wear a burqa in public areas, with 70 percent of public support. The ban received vigorous applause from the prominent French feminist organization Ni Putes Ni Soumises (Neither Whores Nor Submissive), which considers the burqa a tool of female oppression. In this talk organized by the University of Chicago French Club, Fadela Amara (Ni Putes Ni Soumises founder and former French minister) describes the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in the predominantly poor immigrant neighborhoods surrounding French cities (banlieues) that led to the ban on the burqa. She explains why she considers the wearing of the burqa in public to be both oppressive for women and an assault on the values upon which the French Republic is founded. Furthermore, she discusses the aftermath of the burqa ban in France, the goals that Ni Putes Ni Soumises continues to pursue, its partners at home and abroad, and the impact of the national and international political climate on men and women in the banlieues. Following the talk, Bernard Harcourt moderates a discussion that mixes questions from the Chicago audience with those submitted online by remote audience members in Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and Cincinnati. Deborah Joyce serves as the interpreter throughout. Born of Algerian immigrant parents in Clermont-Ferrand, France, Fadela Amara is a French feminist politician and activist. After a 17-year-old girl was burned alive by her ex-boyfriend in the suburbs of Paris, Amara led a nationwide march to discuss the situation of women in the banlieues. In 2003, she founded Ni Putes Ni Soumises (Neither Whores Nor Submissive), one of today’s most prominent French feminist organizations, dedicated to protecting and promoting secularism, diversity, and gender equality. In 2007, Amara was named Secretary of State for Urban Policies (Secrétaire d’Etat Chargée de la Politique de la Ville) under President Sarkozy. While in the government, Amara argued strongly in favor of the burqa ban, which became law in 2010.
