This episode was first published in October 2023. Naomi Klein shot to fame with her first book, No Logo, which offered an acute critique of how powerful corporations in the 1990s had profited off exploitation in a globalising world. Her later books have examined a range of subjects including crisis capitalism, militarism, and climate change. Klein is also commonly confused online for a very different writer, Naomi Wolf, who has called Covid-19 vaccine programmes ‘mass murder'. In Klein's latest book Doppelganger she draws on this unwanted comparison to explore themes like online identity, conspiracy theories and the 21st Century supremacy of the ‘personal brand'.

We blikken terug op de programma's van afgelopen seizoen met De Balie Podcast. Deze keer: Paradigma: No Logo. Of je deze zomer onderweg bent in de auto, op de camping staat of aan het strand ligt, De Balie is dichtbij. Met elke week twee programma's om te luisteren.Het is 25 jaar geleden dat Naomi Kleins boek No Logo uitkwam. Haar aanklacht tegen globalisering, massacultuur en uitbuiting werd de bijbel van de antiglobaliseringsbeweging. Ze beschreef hoe merken als McDonalds, Nike, Disney en Coca-Cola de wereld snel overnamen met schadelijke gevolgen voor onze cultuur en het klimaat. De oplossing volgens Klein: kleinschaligheid, zelfbeschikking en rebellie. Haar boek werd een cultureel manifest voor critici van het kapitalisme en het neoliberalisme.Tijdens Paradigma gaan we met Nederlandse denkers in gesprek over No Logo. Klein zag hoe we, onder invloed van de grote merken, onszelf steeds meer gingen vercommercialiseren. Die ontwikkeling is door sociale media in een stroomversnelling gekomen. Wat is de invloed van Naomi Klein geweest op het gesprek over neoliberalisme en blijft haar pleidooi 25 jaar na dato nog overeind? En waar zijn de antiglobalisten uit de protestbeweging in de jaren 90 gebleven?

Naomi Klein has been confused for writer Naomi Wolf for much of her career. Wolf rose to prominence with the book The Beauty Myth in the 90s, establishing herself as a bestselling feminist, liberal writer. Klein, on the other hand, wrote acclaimed critiques of capitalism such as No Logo and The Shock Doctrine. To say Klein is often mistaken for Wolf is an understatement. In the interview she did just before ours, a TV host mistakenly called her by Wolf's name. The confusion is incessant on social media, and escalated when Wolf became notorious as a peddler of covid-19 conspiracies. A few weeks ago, Wolf discovered that a fellow anti-vaxxer was spreading a conspiracy theory, this time about her. Ultimately, Klein decided to plunge down the rabbit hole to follow Wolf, and emerged with a new book Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World, a wide-ranging exploration of doubling in our lives, culture, and politics. Brooke speaks to Klein about how social media has given all of us doppelgangers; why she's proud of her "bad" personal brand; and the value of "unselfing." This segment first aired in our September 15, 2023 show, The “Too Old” President and Political Doppelgängers.

Thrall follows the lives of a number of people who were directly impacted by the tragedy, delving into their pasts and the ways in which the decades-old conflict between Israel and Palestine has indelibly shaped their trajectories. Chief among them is Abed Salama, a Palestinian, and father of five-year-old Milad, who was a passenger on the bus.

Join us for a conversation between Vincent Bevins and Naomi Klein on what their recent books—"If We Burn" and "Doppelganger"—can teach us about our political moment. Over the course of the past ten years mass protests of unprecedented scale swept across the entire globe. From the revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia, to the eruption of rebellions in the US in response to the police murder of George Floyd, this decade of struggle has seen some of the largest protests in history. Yet, in many cases, these struggles not only failed to achieve all of their goals, but were somehow mutated and warped into their opposites. As the crises that spurred these movements into existence continue to rage, the global right has taken advantage of the collective sense of disorientation and vertigo with a strategy of diagonalism to push their regressive policies and twisted perspectives. Digitally amplified conspiracy theories are peddled as explanations for capitalism's morbid symptoms, as the left struggles to organize an effective response. What lessons can we learn from the wave of struggles in the recent past? How should we understand the new paranoid right and their surreal mirror world? And, most importantly, how do chart a path out of the darkness? Vincent Bevins and Naomi Klein take up exactly these questions in their recent books, "If We Burn" and "Doppelganger" respectively.

Without credible explanations for the things that bewilder and exasperate us, people become susceptible to extremist conspiracy theories, hate and lies. So how does truth survive? In her brand new book, "Doppelgänger: A Trip into the Mirror World”, award-winning journalist Naomi Klein, (author of No Logo, The Shock Doctrine, et al), describes being confused with Naomi Wolf, author of The Beauty Myth, as Wolf morphed into a conspiracy-minded anti-vaxxer during the Covid pandemic. In an era of all important "personal brands", Klein became absorbed in the deep fake, double worlds surrounding and sometimes coming to represent her online. Right-wing conspiracies feed off Left-wing silences, she concludes. In this far-ranging interview from her home in British Columbia, Canada, Klein describes listening to hours and hours of conspiracist Steve Bannon's podcasts, and researching doppelgängers in history and literature, in order to uncover why we have shadow selves, and how disinformation and conspiracy theories gain power.

Beginning with the highly destabilising, but very intimate experience of repeatedly being mistaken for someone else—someone whose beliefs are, in most respects, fundamentally different to Klein's—it expands into a penetrating analysis of the “Mirror World”—that place populated with rightwing agitators, conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers, and wellness influencers which, if you squint just the right amount, can end up looking not too dissimilar to your everyday reality.Buy Doppelganger here: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/doppelganger-2*Naomi Klein is an award-winning journalist, syndicated columnist and international and New York Times bestselling author of nine critically acclaimed books: How To Change Everything: The Young Human's Guide to Protecting the Earth and Each Other (2021), On Fire: The (Burning) Case for a Green New Deal (2019), No Is Not Enough: Resisting the New Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need (2017), This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate (2014), The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism (2007) and No Logo (2000).

Naomi Klein realized that she had an alter ego, or doppelganger, during the Occupy Wall Street protests in 2011. She was in a public bathroom and overheard people talking about her. The author of numerous international bestsellers including “No Logo,” “The Shock Doctrine,” and “This Changes Everything,” Klein realized that she was being confused with Naomi Wolf, the liberal feminist author of the 1991 bestseller, “The Beauty Myth.” A decade ago, both authors were writing about the danger of unchecked corporate power and rising authoritarianism.But in recent years, Wolf has become an anti-vax conspiracy theorist, a leading purveyor of Covid-19 misinformation, and a regular guest of right-wing provocateurs Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson. Klein was horrified and intrigued about why “Other Naomi” had disappeared down a conspiratorial rabbit hole. She decided to follow her down the rabbit hole and report back.In her latest book, “Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World,” Klein dives deep into the alternate reality of conspiracy theorists and the far right to understand why and how societies have become polarized and democracy has been pushed to the brink. “Doppelganger” has been named one of the year's best books by the New York Times, Time, Slate and The Guardian. New York Magazine's Vulture has named it the No. 1 book of the year.Klein is Professor of Climate Justice and co-director of the Center for Climate Justice at the University of British Columbia and is Honorary Professor of Media and Climate at Rutgers. She is a columnist for The Guardian.“Doppelgangers in art and literature stand in for the way societies can kind of flip into evil twin versions of themselves,” Klein told The Vermont Conversation. “This is what happens when fascism rises: a previously open society suddenly tips into something much uglier. And that that can happen. We're not immune to it.”Klein explained that “right-wing conspiracy culture often gets the facts wrong, but the feelings right. They're often tapping into a feeling that the game is rigged, that these elites are getting away with murder, there's a whole different set of rules that applies to them.""All of that is true — it is a rigged game,” she said. “That game is called capitalism.”Klein said that the notion of doppelgangers helps explain what is happening in Israel's war on Gaza. “If you have Israeli politicians openly saying that they want as many people in Gaza as possible to become refugees, then that is a genocidal logic. Some people say that's antisemitic, because how could a Jewish state commit genocide when Israel is itself conceived of as reparations for genocide? Well, victims can become perpetrators. This is where it comes back to doppelgangers.”Klein said that there is a way out of the mirror world. “If you want to be able to break out of those partitioned narratives, you have to be able to see each other. You don't have to agree, but you actually have to believe that each other are real, that your stories exist. If all you do is just retell and retraumatize and cling to your parallel stories and don't even acknowledge that the other stories exist, we will never ever, ever get out.”“Maybe,” said Klein, “we'll get to a wiser place out of this extreme trauma.”

Journalist, author and activist Naomi Klein is co-director of the Centre for Climate Justice at the University of British Columbia. Her best selling books include No Logo and The Shock Doctrine. For most of her career she has been confused with another left-leaning feminist-writer called Naomi, Naomi Wolf, author of The Beauty Myth. Initially amusing, the conflation of the two became alarming to Klein when Wolf veered right and embraced conspiracy thinking. Klein decided to look closer at her doppelganger and to explore doubling in our lives, culture, and politics. The result is her new book Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World.

It's fashion month again and the big brands with the big budgets dominate our feeds. But amidst the commercial noise of the contemporary fashion circus, independent gems still exist. There are true artists who go their own way, and often set the future trend agenda (although they tend not to get the credit). Our guest this week is one of them. He's been shaking up the London underground scene since the ‘90s. Meet Dr NOKI, the original upcycler. Just don't call him that…NOKI does fashion on his own terms, including the language he prefers to describe his work. He “custom-builds” his “mashups” and “landfill drops”. It's a practice that owes at debt to dadaism, and made sense of his dyslexia when he was young. The story reaches to back into the ‘90s club scene, through the culture jamming of the No Logo years to end up at the cutting edge where art and fashion collide today.Now, a new generation that's interested in sustainability is discovering him for the first time. Last year, Hypebeast heralded NOKI as “a tried and true member of the sustainability movement — arguably being a founder of the word before it even really became a thing.”But does he relate to that? How does he see his work? What inspired it all back in ‘90s London's rave scene? And how does he see the future for fashion's young waste warrior disruptors?

Today's guest is Canadian academic and author Naomi Klein. Klein shot to fame with her first book, No Logo, which offered an acute critique of how powerful corporations in the 1990s had profited off exploitation in a globalizing world. Her later books have examined a range of subjects including crisis capitalism, militarism, and the climate crisis. In her new book Doppelganger Klein uses the fact that she is commonly confused online for a very different writer, Naomi Wolf, who has called Covid-19 vaccine programmes ‘mass murder', as a device to explore modern themes including online identity, conspiracy theories and the 21st Century supremacy of the ‘personal brand'.

In her brand new book, "Doppelgänger: A Trip into the Mirror World”, award-winning journalist Naomi Klein, (author of No Logo, The Shock Doctrine, et al), describes being confused with Naomi Wolf, author of The Beauty Myth, as Wolf morphed into a conspiracy-minded anti-vaxxer during the Covid pandemic. In an era of all important "personal brands", Klein became absorbed in the deep fake, double worlds surrounding and sometimes coming to represent her online. Right-wing conspiracies feed off Left-wing silences, she concludes. In this far-ranging interview from her home in British Columbia, Canada, Klein describes listening to hours and hours of conspiracist Steve Bannon's podcasts, and researching doppelgängers in history and literature, in order to uncover why we have shadow selves, and how disinformation and conspiracy theories gain power.

And it's an illusion because we cannot protect ourselves from the forces that we're up against . . . Our only hope of protection is through collective work and collective movement building.” - Naomi Klein“Very often we think that the solution is deplatforming . . . What I've seen is that it's actually kind of supercharged the movement. People wear it as a badge of honor . . .

Full Disclosure with James O'Brien

Over the past twenty-five years, Naomi Klein has charted and documented our politics and culture with a series of bestselling-books from No Logo to The Shock Doctrine. She's known as one of the most influential left-wing voices of our time. But she wasn't always this politically active. As a teenager, she resented being dragged along to demonstrations by her activist parents and rebelled by being normal. It all changed when she went to university. There, she began to challenge the status quo through her writing. Her latest book, Doppelganger, is her most personal one yet. In it, she explores the world of conspiracy theories, drawing from her own experiences with mistaken identity.

Monocle 24: Meet the Writers

The award-winning Canadian author, activist and filmmaker Naomi Klein speaks to Georgina Godwin about her latest book, ‘Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World'. Since publishing her debut book, ‘No Logo', in 1999, she has become one of the world's foremost public intellectuals, regularly featuring on lists of the most influential people around the globe. In ‘Doppelganger', she confronts her own double – a woman who shares her name but has radically different views – while considering the instability of identity and what it's like to be freed from her own paranoia about brand and public image. For Klein, the doppelganger is a “narrow aperture” through which everything, from conspiracy theories and anti-vaxxers to projected doubling and the double-consciousness of minority communities, can be examined.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Saket Soni and Naomi Klein for a launch event for The Great Escape: A True Story of Forced Labor and Immigrant Dreams in America. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— Saket Soni, a Delhi-born labor organizer, was in his late 20s and working in New Orleans when he began to receive mysterious calls from inside a heavily guarded Mississippi work camp. He knew immediately that the callers were in crisis. But he could not have imagined they were caught up in one of the largest human trafficking schemes in modern US history. In his new book, THE GREAT ESCAPE: A True Story of Forced Labor and Immigrant Dreams in America, Soni tells the stunning story of five hundred Indian workers who were held in those camps, their escape, and the years-long campaign for justice that followed—a fight Saket Soni engineered. Bringing to light the invisible migrant workforce that rebuilds after climate disasters, The Great Escape reveals the government and corporate corruption fueling a hidden struggle at the intersection of climate change, racial justice, and immigration. For this launch event, Soni will be joined by internationally renowned author and activist Naomi Klein, to discuss migration policy in the U.S., the reality of twenty-first century trafficking, and the true costs of climate catastrophe. Order a copy of The Great Escape from Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/1039/9781643750088 ———————————————————————————————————————————————— Speakers: Saket Soni is a labor organizer and human rights strategist working at the intersection of racial justice, migrant rights, and climate change.

Soni was profiled as an “architect of the next labor movement” in USA Today, chose as a 2022-23 Aspen Institute Fellow, and named one of Fast Company's Most Creative People in Business for 2022. His work was the subject of a major New Yorker feature story in November 2021.

Léa vient de publier un livre passionnant sur le féminisme washing. C'est comme le greenwashing sauf que là les entreprises utilisent les droits des femmes pour faire du profit. Dans son livre, elle détaille l'hypocrisie de certaines marques de mode, prêtes à tout et à tous les mensonges, pour vendre leurs vêtements fabriqués aux dépens de nombreuses femmes. Ces marques sont en fait très très loin d'être féministes. Mais ce qui est intéressant c'est que Léa analyse notre société et ses biais sous sa plume de journaliste économique. Avec Léa nous avons parlé de Dior, de Frida Kahlo et des publicités sexistes. Je vous souhaite une très belle écoute ! —— Références : Livre « Féminisme Washing - Quand les entreprises récupèrent la cause des femmes » de Léa Lejeune Livre « We should all be feminists » de Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Aloïs Guinut blog « Dress like a Parisian », livre « Why French women wear vintage » Naomie Klein, « No Logo » et « La stratégie du choc » —— Mixage : Thomas Lenglain

In which Sean and Andy finally start getting mercenary and talk shit behind the paywall. This week we tackle the blinkered stupidity of last week's 'Starbucks baristas are bourgeois' discourse. Is there even a crumb of meaning that we can glean from this meltdown? Anyways, we had fun with it.

Join Seven Stories Press and Haymarket Books for a launch of Alaa Abd el-Fattah's important new book, "You Have Not Yet Been Defeated". “The text you are holding is living history.” — Naomi Klein, from the foreword to You Have Not Yet Been Defeated Alaa Abd el-Fattah is arguably the most high-profile political prisoner in Egypt, if not the Arab world, rising to international prominence during the revolution of 2011. A fiercely independent thinker who fuses politics and technology in powerful prose, an activist whose ideas represent a global generation which has only known struggle against a failing system, a public intellectual with the rare courage to offer personal, painful honesty, Alaa's written voice came to symbolize much of what was fresh, inspiring and revolutionary about the uprisings that have defined the last decade. To celebrate the launch of the first English language collection of his essays, social media posts, and interviews, Alaa's sister Sanaa Seif—herself an activist, filmmaker, and former political prisoner of the Sisi regime in Egypt—will be joined by Naomi Klein, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, and Sharif Abdel Kouddous for a conversation on the wide range of subjects covered in this important new book.

Hace unos tres años una de las mayores empresas públicas de España, Correos, lanzaba su último rediseño. Y el titular por parte de algunos políticos y cuñados en Twitter era “El rediseño del logo de Correos ha costado 250.000 €». Lo que este comentario obviaba, consciente o inconscientemente, era en primer lugar, que esta cifra […] La entrada Del Logocentrismo al No Logo #207 se publicó primero en Toni Colom.

It's not hyperbolic to say that Marc Karzen was instrumental in creating the attitude of the visual tone of 'Late Night With David Letterman.' Karzen, along with art director Bob Pook and graphics coordinator Edd Hall, created the bumpers we the viewers would see as Late Night broke for and came back from commercials. The Emmy nominated “No-Logo” concept would take the show title and integrate it into natural late night New York settings. Marc and his team's work is being celebrated in his book "Late Night Bumpers, the 40th Anniversary Edition" which is now available, and a must purchase for Letterman enthusiasts. Marc visited the podcast to talk about the genesis and process of their work, highlights of some of the photos, and in a surprising twist, how Marc inadvertently created the 'Letterman Jackets' tradition within Dave's world. The Letterman Podcast is extremely proud to have Marc in our community, and to debut the first of hopefully many appearances on the show.
