Dive into a discussion about class, culture, and art in a conversation that promises to be as enlightening as it will be provocative. Step back into 1857, mill workers from the North of England embarked on an unprecedented journey to Manchester, witnessing the world's most remarkable display of art. The Manchester Art Treasures Exhibition wasn't just another gallery showing; it was a monumental event that attracted over 1.3 million people, including royalty like Queen Victoria, cultural icons like Charles Dickens, and figures from all classes. Fast forward to today, where art galleries seem reserved for the upper and middle classes, with fewer than 8% of visitors from working class backgrounds. Why such a shift? What does it mean for our cultural landscape? Join author, David Kennedy, for an engaging talk as he explores these questions and more, drawing on his latest research from the book Art and Class: How the middle classes hijacked the nation's galleries.

In the blink of an eye, France is already into the final days of campaigning; a speed-dating exercise that has got the far right more than ever knocking on the doors of power. Polls suggest that Emmanuel Macron's surprise decision to dissolve parliament just two weeks ago has not sparked a rethink. On the contrary, Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella continue to carry the momentum from their record tally at European elections earlier this month. In fact, a full one-quarter of French voters told an Ipsos poll for the Financial Times that they trust the National Rally more on the economy than Emmanuel Macron's centrists or the left-wing alliance. Other than an unconstitutional pledge to reduce benefits and public services for immigrants, the party that once spooked voters with its now-defunct call to leave the euro still remains fuzzy on how it will pay for all its campaign promises. So why the leap of faith?Under Macron, unemployment is down and foreign investment is up. But a soaring cost-of-living crisis has stoked genuine fear that middle-class families could slide into poverty. Put the far right's great replacement theory to one side. For these citizens, it feels like a great demotion. Who can best address their genuine concerns?Produced by Alessandro Xenos, Aline Bottin, Elena Colonna, Rebecca Gnignati and Juliette Brown. 

[originally published on Patreon Jul 7, 2023] Monty and I start by discussing the Freemasonic aspects to the Whitechapel murders and then get into the question of crimes involving Freemasonry vs Freemasonic crimes. We discuss Freemasonry's role in the United Kingdom's police force and society at large.  We explore Freemasonry's ties to the UK's landed gentry, as well as the apparent ambivalence of the Royal Family to Freemasonry. Then, (content warning for child abuse) we discuss multiple court cases in which Masonic signs were deployed in attempts to influence the outcome.  We go through Catholicism's conflicts with Freemasonry including the allegations of Luciferian influences in Freemasonry, which leads us back into the world of Royal Arch Freemasonry. We discuss the concept of Jah-Bul-On. Then we examine the case of the P2 Lodge and subsequent revelations relating to it from the perspective of Freemasonry. To wrap up, we examine Freemasonry as viewed from the perspective of communism, as well as more recent cases of espionage. episode art by Robert Voyvodich @r.voy__ Songs: London Skinhead Crew by Booze & Glory Toujours by Roedelius LaMafiamilia by eLVy The God Auto Rock by Mogwai

Chris talks with award-winning playwright Hannah Moscovitch about her unique childhood and how her socially engaged parents taught her to think critically about the world around her.

Hannah lets in on what it's like to take the leap from the stage to the screen and write for the hit TV show Anne Rice's “Interview with A Vampire” and how despite her success, she's experienced artistic disappointments. This episode contains coarse language and mature subject matter.

As a collective effort, The Middle Classes in Latin America: Subjectivities, Practices, and Genealogies (Routledge, 2022) locates the formation of the middle classes at the core of the histories of Latin America in the last two centuries. Featuring scholars from different places across the Americas, it is an interdisciplinary contribution to the world histories of the middle classes, histories of Latin America, and intersectional studies. It also engages a larger audience about the importance of the middle classes to understand modernity, democracy, neoliberalism, and decoloniality. By including research produced from a variety of Latin American, North American, and other audiences, the volume incorporates trends in social history, cultural studies and discursive theory. It situates analytical categories of race and gender at the core of class formation. This volume seeks to initiate a critical and global conversation concerning the ways in which the analysis of the middle classes provides crucial re-readings of how Latin America, as a region, has historically been understood. Rachel Grace Newman is a historian of modern Mexico with particular interests in migration, childhood and youth studies, and social inequality.

Suella Braverman joins Christopher Hope at the Conservative Party Conference, and causes a stir by accusing rebel colleagues of staging a coup against the 45p top rate of income tax. The Home Secretary stays on the fence on her party's latest row, whether benefits should rise in line with inflation next year, declares that she's proud of the British Empire, and boldly let's on that her "ultimate aspiration" is to reduce net migration to the UK to the tens of thousands. Plus, the MP for Fareham dodges the question about whether she would ever run for leader again and explains why the middle classes should evaluate their casual attitude to drugs.

While the nineteenth century has been described as the golden age of the European bourgeoisie, the emergence of the middle class and bourgeois culture was by no means exclusive to Europe. The Global Bourgeoisie: The Rise of the Middle Classes in the Age of Empire (Princeton UP, 2019) explores the rise of the middle classes around the world during the age of empire. Bringing together eminent scholars, this landmark essay collection compares middle-class formation in various regions, highlighting differences and similarities, and assesses the extent to which bourgeois growth was tied to the increasing exchange of ideas and goods. The contributors indicate that the middle class was from its very beginning, even in Europe, the result of international connections and entanglements. Essays are grouped into six thematic sections: the political history of middle-class formation, the impact of imperial rule on the colonial middle class, the role of capitalism, the influence of religion, the obstacles to the middle class beyond the Western and colonial world, and, lastly, reflections on the creation of bourgeois cultures and global social history. Placing the establishment of middle-class society into historical context, this book shows how the triumph or destabilization of bourgeois values can shape the liberal world order. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube Channel. Twitter.

Makers of Democracy: A Transnational History of the Middle Classes in Colombia (Duke University Press, 2019) de A. Ricardo López-Pedreros explora los discursos transnacionales que sirvieron como fundamento para la cristalización de un concepto de democracia asociaciado al crecimiento de un tipo particular de clase media: profesional, ordenada y apolítica. Asimismo, muestra cómo la clase media, entendida como un marcador identitario fundamental para la democracia colombiana en la segunda mitad del siglo pasado, fue entendida, apropiada, desafiada y movilizada por diversos actores históricos para lograr objetivos políticos concretos relacionados con aquello entendían como propio de las clases medias: una jerarquía política definida por la clase, acceso a satisfactores materiales como alojamiento y transporte privados, acceso a oportunidades educativas y acceso a créditos y beneficios similares. Con base en una amplia gama de fuentes que van desde manuales de capacitación e historias orales hasta archivos escolares y empresariales, Makers of Democracy explora el surgimiento de modelos alternativos de democracia y jerarquías sociales en las décadas de 1960 y 1970 que ayudaron a consolidar ciertos conceptos de clase media, por un lado, y la radicalización política de algunos sectores de las clases medias, por el otro. Al resaltar las relaciones controvertidas entre clase, género, economía y política, López-Pedreros teoriza la democracia como una práctica históricamente inestable que exacerbó múltiples formas de dominación, lo que provocó un replanteamiento de la formación de las democracias en las Américas. López-Pedreros muestra con claridad cómo la clase media colombiana creó un modelo de democracia basado en ideologías de libre mercado, derechos de propiedad privada, desigualdad material y un énfasis en una cultura laboral masculina. Este modelo, que naturalizó las jerarquías de clase y género, sentó las bases para la posterior adopción del neoliberalismo en Colombia. A. Ricardo López-Pedreros es un historiador especializado en las intersecciones del trabajo, la clase, el género, la raza, la economía política y la racionalidad política. Su trabajo de investigación historiza las experiencias, ideas, realidades, prácticas y discursos que, en nuestro presente, aparecen como verdades universales evidentes. En particular, su enfoque busca criticar cómo históricamente se han establecido múltiples formas de dominación en las sociedades capitalistas durante el siglo XX en las Américas.
