Podcasts about dystopian literature

The genesis of dystopian literature can be traced back to the burgeoning industrial age, where rapid technological advancement and societal upheaval began to stir deep-seated fears and anxieties about the future. Thomas More's "Utopia," published in 1516, though fundamentally a work about a perfect society, ironically laid the groundwork for its antithesis, dystopia, by presenting a world so perfect that it ironically highlighted its unattainability.

Today we discuss Dystopian books- why do we love them so much? What's the appeal of reading about a disastrous future? Are there redeeming messages and themes?

my work

Hey everyone. Happy Tuesday. We are in the midst of summer and time is going by quite quickly. I've been spending some time in the quiet suburbs of Shanghai before heading back to Zhuhai. There's a small but strong artist community here and it has been great getting to know the people here. Otherwise, I have been working on a 4-channel video and prepping for a show in the fall. I have also been recording a ton of interviews with the Las Vegas community through the Rogers Art Loft residency, through which and I am excited to share with you my chat with the amazing Erica Hector Vital-Lazare. Erica is a professor of Creative Writing and Marginalized Voices in Dystopian Literature at the College of Southern Nevada. She is also a poet, writer of fiction, and the co-producer of the photo-narrative installation Obsidian & Neon: Building Black Life and Identity in Las Vegas. Furthermore, Erica is the editor of McSweeney's Of the Diaspora, a series revisiting classic Black works in literature. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Erica as we talked about sci-fi and black futurism, reclaiming and revisiting one's past identity, and so many amazing book recommendations. As always, stay safe and healthy, both physically and mentally wherever you are, and I hope you enjoy this.Links Mentioned:Erica's InstagramPaule MarshallSeverance by Ling MaParable of the SowerMcSweeney's Of The DiasporaBrit BennettDanielle Valore EvansWesley BrownMarita GoldenZora Neale HurstonRichard WrightBlack Quantum FuturismNnedi OkoraforRalph EllisonRuby DuncanStorming Caesars Palace: How Black Mothers Fought Their Own War on PovertyObsidian & NeonWomxn of Color Arts FestivalMarjorie Barrick Museum of ArtFollow Seeing Color:Seeing Color WebsiteSubscribe on Apple PodcastsFacebookTwitterInstagram

Our cultural friday morning today will lead Antonella, Davide and Sasha to discuss the questions that Dystopian Literature is still posing after a century. What are the contemporary values of “Brave new world” by Aldous Huxley, George Orwell's “1984” and their ancestor novel “We” by Yevgeny Zamyatin? Sex and pleasure, Terror, Brainwashing are used by the manipulative governments of these novels in order to control people. But how easily do human beings give up “Freedom”? Fyodor Dostoyevsky still gives an unsettling insight in this discussion...

In this episode, Megan and RJ talk about 1984, George Orwell’s bleak image of a dark future where one man really, really, REALLY wants to get his bone on. We ignore most of the probing philosophical questions in favor of George Michael, Apple products, and a phone call from Little Brother.

The key to dystopian literature is the backstory. These brutal, terrifying worlds are grim forecasts of the future, spawned from the choices and actions of the present. In critical care medicine we make rafts of decisions everyday - not all of them ideal. This talk looks at a projection into the future, both fictional and real, based on those small decisions, actions, and processes.
