In episode 69 (nice!), Adam and Jonny have invited special guest Professor Oli Mould to talk with them about epistemology. Can they work out how to tell truth from lie in a post-truth world? Or will they fall prey to the postmodern neo-Marxists trying to spread their WOKE agenda?

This episode explores the multifaceted nature of creativity, highlighting how its essence has been overshadowed by commercial and institutional agendas. Creativity, once a vehicle for artistic expression and societal transformation, now often serves to further corporate and various group interests, losing its authentic impact.Tim Berners-Lee's creation of the internet exemplifies true creativity that changed the world without commercialization. Unlike Silicon Valley's trend of rebranding old ideas as groundbreaking innovations, Berners-Lee's approach to the internet was a revolutionary act of creation for public good, not personal gain.However, the episode also delves into the darker side of tech advancements. Companies like Facebook are critiqued for their role in undermining social connections and democratic processes. The argument is made that many of the brightest minds are now employed not to create radical new ideas, but to enhance corporate profits, often at the cost of societal well-being.The conversation shifts to discuss marginalized communities and their unique perspectives. For instance, the host shares personal experiences with the deaf community, revealing a world of insights and expressions unknown to many. This highlights the richness that lies in exploring and embracing diverse experiences.The episode concludes with a critical view of austerity measures and their impact on creativity. As budgets shrink, professionals in sectors like education and healthcare are forced to 'do more with less,' which is seen as a deceptive narrative that perpetuates inequality. It's a call to recognize our collective strength and to resist the forces that seek to divide and diminish our creative potential.Reimagine is a podcast with host Babak Behrad, brought to you by Society Lab.

Charles Byrne was an 18th-century “Irish giant” whose skeleton was stolen and put on display against his wishes. 240 years after his death, he is being remembered in a new electro acoustic opera rather than as a museum-piece curiosity. Dawn Kemp of the Hunterian Museum discusses removing the famous skeleton from their collection, and composer, musician, and robotic artist Sarah Angliss tells us about her new opera, Giant, which celebrates Byrne on stage, and is opening the Aldeburgh Festival. The Irish writer Maggie O'Farrell's last novel “Hamnet” is now playing on stage at the Globe Theatre and won the 2020 Women's Prize for Fiction. Her latest “The Marriage Portrait” has made it onto the 2023 shortlist, and was an instant Sunday Times Bestseller. Both focus on the lives of women hidden in history behind men of influence. In the next of our series meeting the Women's Prize finalists, we'll be finding out what it is about these stories that inspire her, and how it feels to make the shortlist for a second time. It is commonly accepted, including here at Front Row, that creativity is a good thing. But two new books: Samuel. W. Franklin's The Cult of Creativity and Against Creativity by Oli Mould, challenge that view, arguing that creativity is a recent invention and that the artistic impulse has been co-opted by the capitalist military industrial complex. Both authors discuss their ideas with Tom Sutcliffe. Presenter: Tom Sutcliffe Producer: Julian May

Star Warsologies hosted "Andor, the Empire, and a History of Resistance" panel at Star Wars Celebration Europe in April 2023 in London. Because the panel audio ended up not recorded by accident, we invited the original panelists back to re-create the panel and add some new content, just for our listeners. Coming back we have Chris Kempshall, Rebecca Harrison, Oli Mould, and Jake Rowlett. Unfortunately panelist Prof. Manuel Barcia was unable to rejoin us. Moderated by James Floyd, one of the hosts of Star Warsologies. Panel description: Star Wars is full of conflict between good and evil, and the stories of the galaxy far, far away center on that fight against oppression. Using real world history of resistance and rebellions, we will examine the entire saga and the Andor series in particular to see how and why our heroes seek to stand against the Galactic Empire in their own ways. Our panelists include Chris Kempshall (author, The History and Politics of Star Wars: Death Stars and Democracy; co-author, Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy), Rebecca Harrison (author, BFI Classics: The Empire Strikes Back), Manuel Barcia, Oli Mould, and Jake Rowlett. Join host James Floyd (Star Wars Insider regular contributor, Star Warsologies podcast) in exploring the freedom fighters that helped topple the Empire. In Star Warsologies, hosts James Floyd and Melissa Miller combine their love of Star Wars with their keen interest in all things academic by asking experts about how their field is represented in a galaxy far, far away. It's a monthly podcast about science and Star Wars!

Does healthcare have anything to do with design? And what could you possibly learn from it as a healthcare professional or student?I had a fun chat with Jack Trotman a seasoned graphic designer, head of the UK branch of Shillington College of Graphic Design, and my teacher from my time there. Having worked in publishing, architecture, film and art to name a few industries, he knows a thing or two about the wide applications of graphic design. We connect the dots with design and talk about the many ways it can improve the healthcare experience. From communicating better with patients and creating a brand that stands out, to improving safety and accessibility, there are endless possibilities when good design and healthcare meet. So are you ready to talk about healthcare with a graphic designer?Resources:1.

În episodul de azi vorbim cu Carolina Vozian despre antologia de proză queer-feministă speculativă Lumile noastre posibile. În prima parte a episodului discutăm despre ce reprezintă termenii de science-fiction, ficțiune speculativă și ficțiune vizionară, și despre cum autoare ca Ursula K Le Guin și Octavia Butler au împins frontierele acestor categorii. În a doua parte vorbim despre antologie, despre procesul lung care a culminat în apariție ei și toate muncile vizibile și invizibile care au contribui la aceasta, despre autoare, despre format și cum lucruri mici ca acesta pot fi și ele politice și despre multe alte lucruri. ====== Re(Surse) Literatură și feminism https://literaturasifeminism.wordpress.com/ Lumile noastre posibile: Antologie de proză speculativă queer-feministă https://literaturasifeminism.wordpress.com/2020/01/28/e-book-lumile-noastre-posibile-antologie-de-proza-speculativa-queer-feminista/ Octavia’s Brood, Ed. adrienne maree brown & Walidah Imarisha, AK press (2015). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23129839-octavia-s-brood The Dispossessed, Ursula K Le Guin, Harper and Row books (1974). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13651.The_Dispossessed Against Creativity, Oli Mould, Verso books (2018). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39728820-against-creativity Ecology of Everyday Life, Chaia Heller, Black Rose Books (1999). https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2695947-ecology-of-everyday-life Kim TallBear, The Critical Polyamorist (blog) http://www.criticalpolyamorist.com/ Sylvia Marcos, Femeile indigene și cosmoviziunea decolonială, trad.

In episode 14 I meet cultural geographer Oli Mould and go on a viewing tour in East London, incorporating Blackwall Reach in Poplar, One and Ten Park Drive in Canary Wharf, and the Canary Wharf branch of trendy “co-living” chain The Collective. Oli’s most recent book, Against Creativity (Verso, 2018) explores the reality of creativity as a form of neoliberal appropriation that priorities individual success over collective flourishing. We discuss ideas of gateless gated communities, “user friendly” communities, the selling of “vibes” and atmosphere, and hotel-style living for grown up adult-babies.

“Self interest or individualism is about prioritising the self as the vehicle to progress society. Whereas self care is about understanding that I need care in order to continue to be selfless,” human geographer Oli Mould notes, while sharing his ideas about a healthy way of shaping common, empathetic society and finding our role in it.Is creativity being abused by capitalism? How can subcultures recreate the city? Is progress always a positive term? Does society exist at all or is it just a crowd of individuals? Eventually, how do we include the ones who harm us? We touch an array of broad subjects which in the end sum up to a rather rhetorical key question – what's a healthy way of co-existing?Oli Mould is a researcher and a lecturer in Human Geography at Royal Holloway, University of London. He has recently published a book „Against Creativity“.Interview, editing and visual art by Urte Karalaite Music by Filipe RaposoThis episode is part of a limited series with foreign speakers brought to you by law firm Glimstedt Lithuania.

Creativity - has it become the meaningless buzz word for our times? Oli Mould, Lecturer in Human Geography at Royal Holloway, University of London, delivers a broadside against the injunction to 'be creative' and the 'creative economy' itself. He's joined by David Hesmondhalgh, Professor of Media, Music and Culture and Eliza Easton, Principal Policy Researcher in the Creative Economy and Data Analytics team at Nesta. Producer: Jayne Egerton

How does capitalism hijack the idea of creativity for profit? Why does it encourage us to be 'creative' in every move we make? Does this make the very concept of 'creativity' meaningless, or can it be reclaimed? This week, Tom Overton talks to Oli Mould about his new book 'Against Creativity' (Verso, 2018 - https://www.versobooks.com/books/2852-against-creativity). They discuss how neoliberalism and particularly the New Labour project have used the concept, how it has fed into gentrification, its relationship with Silicon Valley and its 'algocracy', and with the social and bio-medical models of disability.

Today we interrogate the idea of creativity. My guest, Oli Mould, says 21st Century capitalism has redefined creativity from being a power to create something from nothing to the ability to create new products for markets. Creativity, in other words, feeds capitalism’s own growth. Students and workers alike are told they must be entrepreneurial and flexible to survive the global economy. We are told businesses and governments seek out these character traits. In effect, the power to create has become an individual characteristic that can be traded and exploited. Oli Mould is a human geographer based at Royal Holloway, University of London. He argues for a creativity that forges entirely new ways of societal organization. His new book, Against Creativity, published by Verso, goes on sale tomorrow. Oli Mould works at Royal Holloway, University of London. His new book is Against Creativity. http://www.freshedpodcast.com/olimould/

Video games have changed the way we interact with cities and space. If we neglect this fact then we leave an increasingly vital cultural medium open to reactionary representations of the world around us.

Every city seems to be ‘creative', whether because it has a creative brand, a creative quarter or is home to creative industries. In his new book Urban Subversion and the Creative City Routledge, 2015), Oli Mould shows how this is an essential, but mistaken, aspect of the neo-liberal city. Creativity in the governance of the neo-liberal city erases and obscures inequalities and prohibits social justice. The book demonstrates a very different way of thinking about the creative city through a variety of subversive practices, from skateboarding and parkour, to urban explorations. Filled with images and global examples, the book will attract readers in geography, urban studies, sociology, cultural studies, as well as anyone interested in alternative forms of urban life. Mould also works across multiple media forms, and you can see more about the visual elements of Urban Subversion here, and read his blog and twitter feed. Learn more about your ad choices.
