V novém dílu podcastu hovoří Šárka Homfray a Lucie Václavková o tom, jak nám kontakty pomáhají na naší profesní cestě, ale také o tom, na co si dát při navazování známostí pozor a čeho se vyvarovat. S tématem nového dílu podcastu máme zkušenosti dost rozmanité. Zatímco Lucie na podkladě kontaktů nacházela už své první brigády, Šárka hodně dlouho prostě odpovídala na inzeráty. Obě ale už řadu let pěstujeme velmi vybranou síť kontaktů, díky které nám přicházejí projekty či zakázky, nebo nám pomáhá nacházet expertky do našeho podcastu. I takto se tvoří sociální kapitál, jak ho popsal sociolog Pierre Bourdieu. Kromě toho, jak se tvoří a jak je užitečný, upozorňuje ale i na tendenci nechávat si sociální kapitál pro sebe nebo nejbližší okolí – a to skutečně není náš přístup.

Pour ce septième épisode de mon podcast VOX FABIOLIS, je compte parler de la polysémie et de son rôle dans les débats. Trop souvent, les désaccords naissent non pas de véritables oppositions d'idées, mais d'une incompréhension des mots que nous utilisons. Parce qu'un même terme peut porter plusieurs sens selon les contextes sociaux, historiques ou politiques, il devient un terrain glissant où se croisent malentendus et tensions. Comprendre que les mots sont polysémiques, qu'ils sont investis d'enjeux de pouvoir, est essentiel pour apprendre à débattre avec rigueur, pour clarifier nos échanges et pour mieux penser les conflits qui traversent nos sociétés.Pour aller plus loin...La Reproduction. Éléments pour une théorie du système d'enseignement de Pierre Bourdieu et Jean-Claude PasseronLe Capital.

This week, Daniel and Gavin dissect Bong Joon Ho's Mickey 17, using Pierre Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital to examine who gets to be seen as an “auteur” in the public imagination — and who doesn't. We explore how race, class, and symbolic capital shape legitimacy in the film world, questioning why specific creators are celebrated as geniuses while others are sidelined, regardless of the quality of their work.Through Bourdieu's lens, we look at the cinematic “field” as a battleground, where recognition isn't just about talent — it's about access to networks, education, prestige, and whiteness as an unspoken default. Mickey 17 becomes a springboard for unpacking how cultural power is produced and maintained in the West and how directors like Bong Joon Ho disrupt those norms — even while subtly reabsorbed into them.

Épisode 1287 : Est-ce que je dois remplir une liste de critères bien précis pour être perçu comme une marque authentique ou est-ce que chacun peut avoir sa propre projection de l'authenticité ? En gros est-on perçu comme authentique au regard de ses propres valeurs ou des valeurs des gens qui découvrent ma marque ?Mais (en vrai) ça veut dire quoi être authentique pour une marque ?Aujourd'hui, on demande aux marques de ne pas seulement vendre des produits, mais de raconter qui elles sont vraiment. Et dans ce storytelling de soi, un mot revient comme un mantra : authenticité.Regarde autour de toi. Le mot est partout.Sur un pack de yaourt : “Recette authentique, comme à la ferme”. Sur une pub de banque : “Une banque proche de vous, authentique”. Dans une plateforme de marque : “Nous valorisons l'authenticité et la transparence”. Dans les briefs édito : “Tonalité : authentique, humaine, proche”.Ça n'est plus juste une tendance. C'est une norme culturelle.—L'authenticité : une injonction paradoxaleTout le monde en parle. Tout le monde la réclame. L'authenticité serait la qualité ultime. Celle que toute marque devrait revendiquer.C'est devenu un mantra du marketing moderne. Sois authentique et tout ira bien.Mais à force de vouloir l'être, est-ce qu'on ne finit pas par la perdre ?—Le contexte culturel : une crise de confiance généraliséePourquoi cette obsession ? Parce que les publics sont devenus hyper méfiants.Fake news, greenwashing, campagnes trop léchées, influenceurs surpayés : le public a appris à se méfier du vernis.On vit une époque où la confiance est érodée. Résultat : on cherche du vrai. Du brut. De l'imparfait. Et les marques doivent s'adapter à cette attente.Dans ce contexte, revendiquer de l'authenticité devient un outil de réassurance.—Le “paradoxe de l'authenticité déclaréeTu connais cette phrase : “Je vais pas te mentir, mais…”Souvent, c'est le signe qu'on va justement te mentir.Pour une marque, c'est pareil. Quand tu commences à clamer partout que tu es “authentique”, c'est rarement bon signe. L'authenticité, ce n'est pas une promesse. C'est un ressenti. Une perception. Ça ne se décrète pas. —L'authenticité comme capital symboliqueLe sociologue Pierre Bourdieu parle de capital symbolique. L'authenticité, aujourd'hui, en est un.C'est une manière de dire : “Nous sommes différents. Nous ne sommes pas une simple entreprise. Nous avons une âme.”Mais à trop chercher à “faire vrai”, on fabrique souvent du faux.Exemples :Une marque de bière industrielle qui montre des agriculteurs boueux et des champs ensoleillés.Une DNVB qui embauche un copywriter pour écrire des mails comme si c'était “le fondateur qui parle”.C'est du faux-authentique. Du théâtre d'authenticité.Retrouvez toutes les notes de l'épisode sur www.lesuperdaily.com ! . . . Le Super Daily est le podcast quotidien sur les réseaux sociaux.

L'émission 28 minutes du 20/01/2025 Le comédien Denis Podalydès raconte son père spirituel Pierre BourdieuDenis Podalydès est connu pour ses talents d'acteur au cinéma et de comédien en tant que sociétaire de la Comédie-Française. On le redécouvre dans son dernier livre, “L'ami de la famille. Souvenirs de Pierre Bourdieu” (éditions Julliard), dans lequel il se questionne sur sa trajectoire et ce qu'elle aurait pu être, notamment professeur ou universitaire, après des études en classes préparatoires littéraires dans deux lycées prestigieux parisiens. Il échoue trois fois à entrer à Normale Sup' et réussit le concours du Conservatoire. C'est au lycée Henri-IV que naîtra une amitié avec un élève particulier : Emmanuel, fils du sociologue Pierre Bourdieu. Il devient l'ami de la famille, presque le quatrième membre de celle-ci. Dans son ouvrage, il rend compte de son admiration pour celui qui a théorisé le déterminisme social et dont les travaux ont permis au comédien d'expliquer “ses choix”.  Des influences qui se retrouvent jusque dans ses mises en scène ou interprétations de rôles. Conclave sur les retraites : dialogue social, dialogue de dupes ?Le Premier ministre François Bayrou a écarté dimanche 16 mars un retour de l'âge de la retraite à 62 ans alors que les partenaires sociaux se réunissent en “conclave” autour des retraites depuis trois semaines. Mi-janvier, il avait promis que les discussions seraient “sans aucun totem” ni “tabou” sur tous les sujets. Les partenaires sociaux étaient chargés de trouver un “accord” après plusieurs semaines de discussion pour une réforme “socialement plus juste” tout en étant “équilibrée”. Ainsi, la CGT a annoncé le 19 mars au soir quitter la conversation comme l'avait fait la veille l'U2P, l'organisation patronale qui représente les entreprises de proximité.  La quatrième séance du conclave doit se tenir aujourd'hui, à laquelle la CFDT sera présente, mais non sans réticence : “On va se retrouver parmi ceux qui ont envie de travailler et on va définir des nouvelles règles et des nouveaux sujets et la question de l'âge sera sur la table car ça fait partie des sujets sur lesquels la CFDT veut pouvoir discuter et voir comment on avance”, a expliqué la secrétaire générale Marylise Léon. Ce conclave a-t-il encore du sens alors que François Bayrou a dit “non” au retour aux 62 ans ? Enfin, Xavier Mauduit nous parle des livrets de survie en temps de guerre alors que le gouvernement français prépare un manuel de survie pour la population face aux crises majeures tels que les accidents industriels, les événements climatiques graves ou les conflits armés. Marie Bonnisseau nous présente le blobfish, élu animal “le plus laid du monde”, devenu le poisson de l'année en Nouvelle-Zélande.28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

Sideways Migration: Being French in London (Routledge, 2025) examines the relationship between migration and socioeconomic status. In particular, it charts a set of middle-class aspirations that lead people to move to a nearby nation that is similar in wealth and social indicators - a type of horizontal relocation that it terms "sideways migration." It chronicles the experiences of a diverse group of French middle-class citizens who moved to London during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.  Based on longitudinal ethnographic fieldwork over a ten-year period, this book engages at length with their strategies of emplacement through the lens of Pierre Bourdieu's concept of social space. Against a backdrop of heightened anxieties about immigration, the disruptions of the Brexit process and, more recently, a pandemic, it shows how middle-class migration is affected by processes of dislocation and relocation, settling and unsettling, and the search for belonging. This book points to new directions for understanding transnationalism among middle-class migrants through its consideration of the French emigration apparatus and the role of the multisite French nation in the lives of its citizens living abroad. It will be key reading for scholars and students interested in emigration and migration from anthropology, sociology, geography, political science, history, and international studies.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.live“Something is happening here and you don't know what it is,” goes the Bob Dylan track from 1965. That song was directed at the squares who weren't yet hip to the Sixties. It sounded foreboding then, and it sounds foreboding now, because something is happening, again — something perhaps as great and consequential as the cultural changes of Dylan's time. For several years now, people have been speaking about a cultural “vibe shift.” The MAGA electoral victory appears to have been the culmination of that shift. The Trumpist victory has ushered in a new political elite and with it, a cultural style that is more transgressive, crude, and rude than the once-liberal American mainstream. Helping us understand what's happening is this week's special guest, Sean Monahan, one of the most perceptive cultural forecasters of our time. If you've ever used the term “normcore,” or if you've heard someone talk about a “vibe shift,” you've been influenced by Sean. And if you haven't heard those terms, then you're about to learn a lot about American culture in this episode. Sean is a writer, trend forecaster and brand consultant, whose Substack, 8Ball, is an oracle of cultural insight.Sean joins Christine Emba and Shadi Hamid and they all get deep about vibes. What is a vibe? Can it be defined? If it can't, then how is it a useful concept? Is it based on material conditions? How long does a vibe last? But the conversation soon ventures beyond these theoretical generalities. Shadi wants to know whether American culture has fundamentally shifted to the right since the rise of Trump. Christine detects a mean streak to this new culture: a certain cruelty or at least, ruthless competitiveness. Sean puts things in perspective, explaining how generations create, condition, and then abandon trends, and how the weird period of Covid lockdown had a unique effect on trend creation, one that still affects us to this day. He also describes the new aesthetic of the Trump era, which he believes is based primarily on desire for money, and which he has dubbed, “Boom Boom.”In our bonus section for paid subscribers, Sean discusses why religion has become attractive to young people, especially young men, whether he sees good vibes or bad vibes in the near future, and whether he believes most Americans actually like Trump and DOGE.Required Reading:* Sean Monahan's Substack, 8Ball.* Sean Monahan, “Anatomy of a Vibe Shift” (8Ball).* Sean Monahan, “Boom Boom: Anatomy of a Trend” (8Ball).* Sean Monahan, “The Counter Elite Won the Meme War” (8Ball).* CrowdSource: “Truth and Vibes” (WoC).* Famous 2022 article from New York Magazine: “A Vibe Shift is Coming” (New York).* W.

Avec Mathias Roux, philosophe. Anders Breivik, le terroriste d'extrême droite norvégien qui a assassiné 77 jeunes en 2011 reçoit 800 lettres d’amour par mois. Il existe un joli mot pour désigner cette passion pour les criminels : “hybristophilie”. Bien sûr, on pourrait considérer ce genre d’héroïsation des tueurs comme un trouble pathologique, mais on peut aussi le voir comme la manifestation extrême d’une fascination largement partagée pour le crime.  Cette attraction repose certes en grande partie sur nos pulsions voyeuristes, mais pour le philosophe Mathias Roux, les vraies affaires criminelles représentent plus que de simples faits divers. Dans “Le goût du crime” (Actes Sud, 2023), l’essai qu’il a coécrit avec son frère Emmanuel Roux, il montre que non seulement ces affaires donnent matière à penser notre époque, mais elles soulèvent de grandes questions philosophiques. Pourquoi les affaires criminelles nous fascinent-elles ? Que nous enseigne l’événement criminel sur la question de la vérité et du mal ?

Vielleicht habt auch ihr wenig Geld und fühlt euch benachteiligt? Nun, nach der letzten Episode werdet ihr gemerkt haben, dass das fehlende Geld vermutlich nicht euer einziges Problem ist – dickes Sorry dafür! Der Soziologe Pierre Bourdieu hat sich in seinem Werk „Die feinen Unterschiede“ mit der Ungleichheit beschäftigt und dabei den Begriff des Habitus etabliert. In dieser Episode reden Micha und Jona erneut über Pierres Theorie der sozialen Unterschiede. Allerdings komplett frei, ohne Skript, Notizen oder Schnitte.

It is only in recent years that sociologists and historians of the social sciences have given empire the attention it deserves in histories of the discipline. In this context, George Steinmetz's The Colonial Origins of Modern Social Thought: French Sociology and the Overseas Empire (Princeton University Press) is likely to be a touchstone text in these debates. Providing a new history of the French national discipline inspired by a ‘Neo-Bourdieusian Historical Sociology of Science', Steinmetz highlights the centrality of ‘colonial sociology', work centered on and/or created in the French overseas colonies and protectorates to the discipline's development.  The French state, eager to consolidate its empire after World War II, were eager to draw on the expertise of sociologists in pursuing this goal; as Steinmetz shows therefore, during this period, a focus on ‘the colonial' became central to French sociology to the extent that roughly half the French sociological field could be considered ‘colonial sociologists'. Despite this entanglement with the French state these colonial sociologists became strong critics of imperialism. Alongside the many stories he uncovers Steinmetz explores in depth the case of four such colonial sociologists: Raymond Aron, Jacque Berque, Georges Balandier and Pierre Bourdieu, seeking to show not just the centrality of colonialism to each writer but how their experiences of empire formed their basis for their future work; for example, how Bourdieu's concepts of habitus, capital and field can be traced to his experiences in colonial Algeria. In our discussion, which also marks the imminent release of the text in paperback, George takes us through this hugely enlightening text, including reflections on why there may have been some ‘disciplinary amnesia' in sociology's unwillingness to confront empire, the relations between sociology and other imperial disciplines, how sociologists from the colonies developed their own work, the lessons from his text about how we should confront colonial sociologists and whether Durkheim had an ‘imperial gaze'.

What if your beliefs about health and wellness are just status symbols in disguise? On this episode of the Mind Muscle Podcast, we explore the intriguing world of luxury beliefs, as coined by Rob Henderson, and examine how these ideas serve as modern-day markers of social status. With historical insights from the minds of Thorstein Veblen and Pierre Bourdieu, we unpack the immaterial signs of wealth and how they shape our daily choices in nutrition and fitness, often at the cost of the less affluent. From the aspirational allure of fad diets to the exclusivity of youth sports, we peel back the layers to reveal how elite posturing influences areas meant to promote wellness for all.Status signaling is everywhere, and it's not just about diamonds or designer clothes. Through fascinating tales of spices and dueling, we discuss how individuals have historically projected their identities and maintained social hierarchies. Today, this manifests in the wellness industry where affluent individuals adopt luxury beliefs to flaunt their status, yet these choices often leave others to struggle with the financial and social costs. Our conversation also touches on the ways these behaviors have evolved, drawing a line from past to present in a way that reveals both the superficiality and the social power of luxury beliefs.In the world of youth sports, financial capability has overshadowed raw talent, creating a class divide that further complicates the landscape of competitive parenting. We emphasize the need to return to community-focused sports that prioritize personal growth and community bonding over competitive spending. By questioning the true purpose of sports, we advocate for a system that fosters inclusivity and genuine talent development. Join us as we challenge the status quo and encourage listeners to embrace wellness practices that are not only inclusive but also meaningful. Let's reshape the narrative around health and fitness, ensuring that they are accessible and beneficial to all.Producer: Thor BenanderEditor: Luke MoreyIntro Theme: Ajax BenanderIntro: Timothy DurantFor more, visit Simon at The Antagonist

Avec Sibylle Gollac, sociologue. Quand on a de la chance, la famille est un cocon affectif, mais aussi un lieu de solidarité.  Il y a toujours les petits arrangements que l’on bricole  au quotidien, et parfois il y a le gros héritage que l’on officialise chez le notaire. Et tout le monde n’est pas logé à la même enseigne. Sibylle Gollac est sociologue au CNRS et dans le livre qu’elle a coécrit avec Céline Bessière, “Le genre du capital” (La Découverte, 2020), elle aborde la famille comme une institution économique à part entière. Elle décortique comment la richesse circule, engendrant des inégalités  aussi bien entre les familles qu’en leur sein, entre les hommes et les femmes. Quel est le poids de la richesse héritée dans le patrimoine des Français ? Quel rôle joue la famille dans l'économie aujourd'hui ? Peut-on compter sur la famille ? Références :- Sybille Gollac, Céline Bessière, Le genre du capital, Comment la famille reproduit les inégalités, La découverte, 2020- Nicolas Frémeaux et Marion Leturcq, 2020, "Inequalities and the individualization of wealth", Journal of Public Economics 184: 1-18.- Pierre Bourdieu et Jean-Claude Passeron, La Reproduction, Éléments pour une théorie du système d'enseignement, Les Editions de minuit, 1970- Émile Durkheim, « La famille conjugale » [1892] in Textes III.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveMusa al-Gharbi is a sociologist and assistant professor in the School of Communication and Journalism at Stony Brook University. He joins Christine Emba and Damir Marusic to discuss his new book, We Have Never Been Woke: Social Justice Discourse, Inequality, and the Rise of a New Elite. Don't worry: the book is not another culture war polemic. Instead, it's something much more useful: a work of social science that explains what “woke” means in terms of class and culture in the United States.In our conversation Musa describes the inner workings of a group that has gone by many different names: the PMC (Professional-Managerial Class), the New Class, the cognitive elite or the symbolic capitalists. This group enjoys higher wages and more autonomy than most workers, and its power is derived from knowledge-based work, which requires (at the very least) a college degree. Damir thinks that the PMC is merely hypocritical and self-interested, while Musa sees things differently. He argues that while this group has sincere interests in advancing social justice, they also have an interest in maintaining their own elite status. This contradiction is the source of so much of the insanity we see in American society today. Christine presses Musa for details about this insanity: to what extent is the symbolic capitalist class actually sabotaging positive social change, in order to preserve their privileges?Among the topics discussed is the nature of symbolic capital; whether self interest and political idealism are necessarily contradictory; how wokeness and anti-wokeness have similar incentives; violence and social change; and the economics of victimhood. This practical and illuminating episode will make you smarter about how America works.

  In this episode of Parallax Views w/ J.G. Michael, host J.G. Michael interviews sociologist Musa al-Gharbi about his upcoming book We Have Never Been Woke: The Cultural Contradictions of a New Elite. The conversation focuses on the woke vs. anti-woke culture wars, exploring the work of French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu and his concept of symbolic capital. Al-Gharbi explains how symbolic capital, a form of social and cultural influence, plays a crucial role in shaping the ideologies and actions of today's elites in the woke debates. And he does not limit this to people who define themselves as "woke", but also those who define themselves as "anti-woke". This hopefully insightful discussion sheds light on the contradictions and complexities of the cultural elite and their influence on modern political and cultural discourse. If you're interested in understanding the deeper sociological factors driving the woke vs. anti-woke divide, this episode may be of interest.

Please send any guest recs, dissents, and other comments to dish@andrewsullivan.com.Here's a fan of last week's episode with Anne Applebaum:I loved your freewheeling interview with Applebaum. Just like the last time she was on, each of you gave as good as you got.I tend to agree more with her, because I fear that sometimes you come off as what Jeane Kirkpatrick called the “blame America first crowd” — not that we haven't committed our sins. But if we didn't exist, Putin would still be evil and want to recreate the Warsaw Pact, and the mullahs in Iran would still be fanatics despite our CIA involvement. It's complicated.Another on foreign policy:I despise Putin, my sympathies are totally with the Ukrainians, and I get angry when people like Rod Dreher and Tucker Carlson imply that the Russians were forced by the West to invade Ukraine. But, so what! You hit the nail on the head with the Obama quote — that Ukraine is never going to mean as much to us as it does to them (the Russians). You also made another very good point that the Russians can't even conquer Ukraine, but we're supposed to fear they will march West? How they going to do that?!Another took issue with several things from Anne:You raised the immigration issue, and Applebaum completely dismissed it: Hungary doesn't have a migrant crisis. … Because it's a useful symbol [to] create fear and anxiety. … This is the oldest political trick in the book, and the creation of an imaginary culture war is one of the ways in which you build support among a more fearful part of the population.WTF? Are Hungarians not allowed to see what is happening in every other European country that has allowed mass migration and see the problems it has caused and proactively decide to prevent this?! Are they not allowed to be concerned until Budapest has the banlieues of Paris, the car bombing gangs of Sweden, and the grooming gangs of England?! And in Germany, it has been recently reported that almost half of people receiving social payments are migrants.Applebaum followed that up with an even bigger gobsmacker about Biden's cognitive decline: “This is another road I don't want to go down, but I know people who met with Joe Biden a couple months ago, and he was fine” (meaning I just want to make my statement but will not allow you a rebuttal). And then:I've met [Harris] a few times, mostly in the context of conversations about foreign policy and about Russia and Ukraine and other things. And she's an intelligent conversationalist. … I was impressed with her. And these are way off-the-record conversations... And I was always more impressed with how she was off the record. And then I would sometimes see her in public. And I thought, she seems very stiff and nervous. … You'd like her if you met her in real life.Translation of both of these excerpts: “You plebes who aren't insiders just don't understand, but trust me — the connected insider — instead of your lying eyes.”Another adds:I think for the next few months, you're going to have to push people like Anne Applebaum to be more open to criticizing the Biden-Harris record. She's a smart person with important things to say, but she clearly dared not criticize the current administration, lest she be seen as helping Trump. And another:She says, unironically, that autocrats rig court systems with exotic new lawfare to attack their political enemies to seize or cling to power. I wonder what that makes Alvin Bragg and Merrick Garland.This Dishhead listened to the episode with his teenage son:The notion that Trump supporters want a dictator is beyond ridiculous. They are among the most individualistic and freedom-loving people in America. They are the Jacksonians, the Scots-Irish heart of this country. They are ornery as hell, and if Trump tried to force them into anything, he'd have another thing coming.  Just look how he tried to get them to take “his” vaccine. That didn't work out so well, did it? The truth is, they view people like Anne as the ones who are taking away their rights and freedoms through their absolute dominance of the media and all cultural institutions. Now maybe Trump will deliver them from that and maybe he won't, but that is what they are seeking — not a dictator, but someone who will break the hideous grip that the liberal elite has on the culture.My son is 18 years old and was also listening to the episode. He is highly engaged in national and world affairs, and he also thought Anne was way off track. He's already announced to his mother (much to her chagrin) that he will be casting his first vote for Trump. And get this: he's going to Oberlin College this fall. I can assure you he's not looking for a dictator. He's looking to say “eff you” to a system that has no use for upper-class, normal white boys like him. The elites hate him and his friends.But I'm glad you have a diversity of views on the Dishcast. It really is the best. I look forward to listening to it every week.I can't back Trump, but I do think your son is onto something. On a few other episodes:Lionel Shriver — I love her! I wished you'd talked more about her novel, Mania. It's not perfect, but it's good.On the Stephen Fry pod, I was resistant! He's irritated me at times. But I loved it when you two started doing Larkin! I shouldn't admit this, but “Aubade” could be my autobiography. I think one or both of you misinterpret “Church Going.” Larkin doesn't wish he had faith. I don't think that's relevant to him. Fry talked about how he liked everything about Anglicanism except for the detail about God (and I always suspect that for Anglicans, God is a somewhat troubling detail). I'm probably just guessing, but I don't think that's Larkin. Larkin didn't wish he had faith. He was elegiac about the past in which there was faith. I think you'll see this sensibility in “An Arundel Tomb.”Agreed. Another on Shriver:She seems to think that “liberals” are mistaken in believing that everyone can be equal, but I think she is mistaken in thinking that is what they believe — at least those I know. Liberals do think that 1) expectations play a role in what people achieve; and 2) given the right circumstances, many people find they can achieve more than was expected. Low expectations do lead to low outcomes (and yes, there is research to support that statement). Does that mean everyone can do anything they wish? No. Neither you nor I will ever be a concert pianist, but let us not condemn everyone to the garbage heap based on false expectations.Thanks as always for your provocative discussions.Here's a guest rec:Musa Al Gharbi, a sociologist at Stony Brook, has written for Compact, American Affairs, and The Liberal Patriot. His forthcoming book, We Have Never Been Woke: The Cultural Contradictions of a New Elite, draws on Pierre Bourdieu's notions of cultural capital to analyze the ascendant symbolic capitalists — those who work in law, technology, nonprofits, academia, journalism and media, finance, civil service and the like — and how the ideology known as “wokeness” exists to entrench economic inequality and preserve the hegemony of this class. I have preordered the book, and it should be a timely read for an election in which class (education), not race, has become the preeminent dividing line in our politics.Here's a guest rec with pecs:I have a recommendation that may sound bonkers, but hear me out: Alan Ritchson, the actor whose career has taken off thanks to playing Jack Reacher on Reacher.The fact that he's really, really, really ridiculously good-looking is the least interesting thing about him. I'd love to hear a conversation between you and him for a few reasons. First, he's bipolar and speaks openly about it. Second, he started taking testosterone supplements after his body broke down from working out for Reacher, and he speaks openly about that too. Third, he's a devout evangelical Christian who speaks openly about his faith — and about his disgust with Christian nationalism and the hijacking of Christianity by many Trump supporters. Fourth, he posted what read to me as a thoughtful, sane critique of bad cops, thereby angering certain denizens of the Very Online Right. Thus, he could speak to a number of major Dishcast themes: mental illness, masculinity, and Christianity. To me, he manages to come across as a guy's guy whose comments on political matters sound like the result of actual reflection, rather than reflexively following a progressive script, which is how most celebrities come across. He's articulate, and the way he's navigating this cultural and political moment is fascinating. And if you do snag him, you should supplement the audio with video.Haha. But seriously, we're trying to keep the podcast fresh and this is a great out-of-the-box recommendation. Next up, the dissents over my views on Harris continue from the main page. A reader writes:I have no particular attachment to Kamala Harris, and share some of your concerns, but your latest column reads more like a Fox News hit piece than a real assessment. The main problem is that you seem to be judging Harris almost exclusively on the basis of statements she made in 2020, at the height of the Democrats' woke mania because of George Floyd. Do you not remember that she was destroyed in the primary because she was a prosecutor, and was to the right of almost everyone else in the primary, except for Biden and Sanders? That's why she lost: she wasn't woke enough. So as VP, of course she pivoted to shore up her appeal to the base, like any good politician would. It's terribly unfortunate that she had to tack hard left precisely as the country was moving back to the center and rejecting wokism, but that doesn't mean she's the “wokest candidate,” as you say. It just means she's a politician.My criticism also extended to her management and campaigning skills in the past. And look: I don't think it's fair to compare my attempt to review the evidence of her record with a Fox News hit-piece. It's important to understand her vulnerabilities as well as he core ideas, if she has any. This next reader thinks she is off to a good, non-woke start:I agree with your criticisms of Harris, at least some of them. We need to have stronger border enforcement, we can't have riots in cities, and racism is real but DEI excesses are also bad. And it's troubling that she has a history of being a bad boss. I can only hope that she has learned from her mistakes. But I take heart from her campaign speech in Wisconsin: she said not a word about DEI, nothing about “vote for me to show that you're not sexist/racist, because I'm a woman of color,” and not much about “Trump is a threat to democracy.” It was all, “I have experience dealing with sleazy crooks and sex offenders like Trump, and I want to help middle-class Americans and protect health care and a woman's right to choose.” Sounds like a popular message!You also say, “She is not a serious person.” Bro, have you *seen* the other party's candidate?
