Podcast appearances and mentions of Raymond Williams

The Collective Dream: Egyptians Longing For A Better Life (Palgrave Macmillan, 2023) links two seminal moments in Egypt's history – the Revolution of 25th January 2011 and the presidency of Gamal Abdel Nasser – through various cultural manifestations. It conceives the concept of “collective dreaming” to map out the subliminal feeling that runs deep through experiences of socially transformative moments. Sarah Nagaty has extensively studied the structure of feelings that encompasses the experiences not only of activist minorities but the broader mass of revolutionary movements. In certain historical moments, hopes and aspirations bind together millions of people from all walks of life: students, workers, farmers, and middle-class professionals. Nagaty calls this phenomenon the “collective dream”, something which has been carried through generations of Egyptians. In this episode, Ibrahim Fawzy sat down with Sarah Nagaty to discuss the conceptual roots of the collective dream and the overlooked histories of Nubian displacement during the construction of the High Dam. They also explored how thinkers like Raymond Williams and Lauren Berlant shaped Nagaty's method of reading revolutionary time and cultural memory, as well as how vernacular poetry, reportage, and graffiti served as vital archival traces of collective feeling. Ibrahim Fawzy is a literary translator and writer based in Boston. His interests include translation studies, Arabic literature, ecocriticism, disability studies, and migration literature.

Part 1 - Neville James speaks with Raymond Williams, Executive Director of the VI Lottery. The Lottery issued another update on its ongoing closure, stating that operations remain suspended as it continues to recover from a recent cyber-attack that significantly disrupted its systems​.

CW: There is some brief discussion of abusive familial relationships at several points within this episode.Two titanic figures in contemporary theory join us for two separate and strongly divergent episodes on the status of revolutionary thought in political philosophy today.Timothy Morton is one of the most outspoken and controversial voices in the discourse, someone whose impact punched hard into the artworld, defining a decade of new ecological and object-oriented aesthetics. For almost the entire 2010s and much of the 2020s it was hard to read a single exhibition text without recognizing Morton's impact.Timothy joins us for an expansive conversation that moves through Buddhism, Christianity, communism, trauma, poetry, and the question of whether “love your neighbor as yourself” might actually be a planetary-scale software instruction. Morton describes communism and Christianity as radically entangled modes of relation, both grounded in care and unknowing.We strongly recommend:Most people should already be familiar with Morton's most iconic concept and contribution: HyperobjectsTimothy's book Ecology Without Nature Their more recent Hell: In Search of a Christian Ecology And we spend a lot of time talking about SpacecraftIn the episode, we also touch on the work of Fredric Jameson, Terry Eagleton, Thomas Merton, Raymond Williams, and Simone Weil.

Part 2 - Raymond Williams, VI Lottery Director, provides Neville with an update on the state of restoration. Over the last week VIL has been engaged in a recovery plan that involves several contractors. Marvin Mathew, a former educator and basketball player, checks in with Neville and shares memories of boxing legend Livingstone Bramble.

The premiere of David Hare's play Plenty at the National Theatre in 1978 marked him out as one of the UK's most skilled and socially conscious playwrights. Plenty transferred to Broadway, Hare adapted it into a film starring Meryl Streep, and in the following years he became known as a writer for whom the political and the personal are deeply entwined. Often referred to as Britain's pre-eminent ‘state of the nation playwright', his plays in the 1980s examined a wide range of social and political issues, including the Church of England in Racing Demon, the judiciary in Murmuring Judges and party politics in The Absence of War. He tackled international geopolitics in Via Dolorosa - about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - and the invasion of Iraq with Stuff Happens and the Vertical Hour. Equally skilled as a screenwriter, his film screenplays for The Hours and The Reader saw him twice nominated for Academy Awards. David Hare was knighted in 1998 for ‘services to theatre'. He talks to John Wilson about how his lower-middle class background and family life in Bexhill-on-Sea stimulated his imagination. He pays tribute to some of the most formative people in his life: his Cambridge university tutor, the Welsh writer and academic Raymond Williams, whose maxim that ‘culture is ordinary' had a profound effect on his life as a writer; the actress Kate Nelligan, who starred in several of Hare's plays, including Plenty; and his wife Nicole Farhi who, he says, transformed his idea of himself and who inadvertently helped inspire one of his best loved plays, Skylight.

Hello, to you listening in Post Falls, Idaho!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.What does it mean to be radical?  Radical. It's an ominous word, conveying danger, counter-culture, or even extreme behavior. But being radical can also mean speaking truth quietly with conviction, intention, and courage.Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde (another Jersey Girl!) fearlessly spoke truth to power in clear, concise, and compassionate words calling for mercy at an interfaith national prayer service at our National Cathedral.  What was so important that the bishop would dare to directly address the president during her sermon, pleading for him to have “mercy on the people in the country who are scared,” notably, immigrants and members of the LGBTQ community. Hope! Hope was so important. Hope was the radical choice.  Click HERE to listen to Bishop Budde's radical choice of hope.“To be truly radical is to make hope possible, rather than despair convincing.” [Raymond Williams ~ Keywords]  CTA: How might you join us in the Ranks of the Radicals to make hope possible? YouTube BONUS: Finding Courage in the Face of Injustice: A Call to ActYou're always invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, would you subscribe and spread the word with a generous 5-star review and comment - it helps us all - and join us next time!Meanwhile, stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website to:✓ Check out Services I Offer✓ For a no-obligation conversation about your communication challenges, get in touch with me today✓ Stay current with Diane as “Wyzga on Words” on Substack, LinkedIn and now Pandora RadioStories From Women Who Walk Production TeamPodcaster: Diane F Wyzga & Quarter Moon Story ArtsMusic: Mer's Waltz from Crossing the Waters by Steve Schuch & Night Heron MusicAll content and image © 2019 to Present Quarter Moon Story Arts.

Part 1 - Neville James is joined by Raymond Williams, Executive Director of the Virgin Islands Lottery. The VI Lottery presents EX88 with a $500,000.00 grand prize, drawing date December 19, 2024. Neville chats with Dr. Tai Hunte-Ceasar, Department of Health Medical Director, who emphasizes the importance of getting the flu and covid-19 vaccines as soon as possible.

Part 2 - Raymond Williams, coordinator of the Grove Place Action Committee speaks with Neville James who invites the community to the rescheduled D. Hamilton Jackson Libert Day celebration on St Croix, Saturday November 23, 2024, at 1pm where a special event will be held in Grove Place.

As Nathan Wolff himself puts it, his recent keynote address at the 2024 Quarry Farm Fall Symposium is "very much in dialogue with The American Vandal." In this talk, Wolff not only summarizes Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner's "The Gilded Age" (1873), but further interpolates it with concepts like Lauren Berlant's cruel optimism, György Lukács's historical novel, and Raymond Williams's structures of feeling, all of which have been cited frequently in our "A Tale of Today" series. While this episode departs from the usual format of this podcast, listeners to the current season will undoubtedly see the synergy between recent episodes and Wolff's excellent keynote. Cast (in order of appearance): Matt Seybold, Nathan Wolff Soundtrack: DownRiver Collective Narration: Nathan Osgood & SNR Audio For more about this episode, including a complete bibliography, please visit MarkTwainStudies.com/FirstAsFarce, or subscribe to Matt Seybold's newsletter at TheAmericanVandal.substack.com If you would prefer to watch Nathan Wolff speak, the keynote is also available via our YouTube Channel.

In the follow up to their previous episode, Barry and Mike discuss how Kember and Zylinska use Steigler's notion of an “originary technicity” to articulate a third position between the philosophy Raymond Williams and Marshall McLuhan.

Part 1 - Neville James receives the weekend forecast from the National Weather Service. Neville, along with Raymond Williams, a member of the Board of Elections and Kevermay Dougles, St Thomas Deputy Elections Supervisor, have announced that the deadline to register to vote in the upcoming general election is Sunday, October 6. Early voting for the 2024 general election is set to take place on St. Croix and St. Thomas from Monday, October 14, to Monday, October 28, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM each day.

This is an excerpt from a patrons-only episode. To hear the full thing, and much much more, visit Patreon.com/LoveMessagePod to sign up from just £3 a month. In this patrons episode we thought we'd begin to explore the academic discipline of Cultural Studies. Tim and Jeremy (both Cultural Studies professors themselves remember) explain the ways in which academic study of popular cultural was developing in the mid-70s, including the political motivations informing academics developing the discipline, in the wake of sociology and social anthropology. They talk about analysis of subculture, Raymond Williams, Stuart Hall, Mods, Rockers, nostalgia, Cool Jazz, with a healthy dash of DH Lawrence thrown in for good measure.  In our next episode we'll discuss in detail the seminal book Resistance Through Rituals: Youth Subcultures in Post-War Britain. Books: William Foote White - Street Corner Society: The Social Structure of an Italian SlumC. Wright Mills - The Power ElitesRaymond Williams - Culture and SocietyRichard Hoggart - The Uses of Literacy DH Lawrence - Lady's Chatterly's LoverStan Cohen - Folk Devils and Moral Panics Paul Willis - Profane Culture Tracklist:Lennie Tristano - CrosscurrentsEwan McColl & Peggy Seeger - The Black Velvet BandThe Who - The Kids are AlrightBuddy Holly - Not Fade Away

Part 1 - Host Neville James is joined by the National Weather Service as Tropical Storm Ernesto approaches the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, with deteriorating conditions forecast throughout the island today. Neville is also joined by DOE Commissioner Dr Dionne Wells Hendrington to provide an update on school closures. Raymond Williams, the Director of the VI Lottery, also contributed. The 87th Extraordinary Drawing (EX-87) of the Virgin Islands Lottery has been delayed to Friday, August 16, due to bad weather. The grand prize is $500,000.

Part 2 - Neville James, the host, contacts Raymond Williams, Executive Director of the VI Lottery. Weather permitting The Virgin Islands Lottery's 87th Extraordinary Drawing (EX-87) is scheduled for Thursday, August 15, with a grand prize of $500,000. Neville is then joined by Almando "Rocky" Liburd and Donald "Ducks" Cole for Monday's Table Talk, where they discuss VP Kamala Harris's lack of engagement with the media, which has become a constant rallying cry on the political right, with Republican critics and Fox News stars accusing the vice president of avoiding scrutiny. The Harris team says it is carefully considering how to best deploy its message and present a new candidate to key voters in battleground states.

On April 26 and 27, 2019, seven months before Jeremy Corbyn led the British Labour party to unexpected defeat in a general election, the Raymond Williams Society held its annual conference. Now, in July 2024, as Keir Starmer celebrates a landslide victory for the Labour party, and a new Labour government prepares its long-term agenda, we present a completely re-edited and remixed look at the session on cultural democracy. The conference addressed the topic: Cultural Production and the Redundancy of Work: precarity, automation and critique. The Movement for Cultural Democracy organised a panel at the conference and Sophie Hope, Nick Mahony and Stephen Pritchard spoke at it. In this episode Sophie Hope describes some of the context to Owen Kelly, and we listen to live recordings of Nick and Stephen's presentations. Nick Mahony's presentation, “Realising Cultural Democracy”, provides a historical background for the growth of the Movement for Cultural Democracy. He draws a link between the writing of Raymond Williams in The Long Revolution and the birth of this current manifestation of a movement for cultural democracy that began at The World Transformed in Liverpool, in September 2017. Stephen Pritchard reflects on his childhood in Jarrow in a performance style lecture that uses video and archival sound recordings as part of the presentation. The presentation, “Home Is Where We Start From”, has a poetic air that weaves in critiques of the way working class culture has been deliberately co-opted or dismantled; and the ways in which gentrification and art-washing continue to attempt to do this.

It's episode 42 of A Culture of Possibility, which means no guest this time. Arlene Goldbard and François Matarasso talk about some of the words commonly used in discussions of cultural democracy and community-based arts, include culture, art, authenticity and creativity. Humpty Dumpty may have said “When I use a word, it means exactly what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less,” but we think communication, effectiveness, and collaboration depend on exploring meanings for both differences and points of connection. What words would like you like explored? In this discussion Arlene and François draw from the work originated by Raymond Williams n his 1976 book Keywords, which has had many subsequent editions. They also reference New Keywords: A Revised Vocabulary of Culture and Society, edited by Tony Bennett, Lawrence Grossberg, and Meaghan Morris, and published in 2005; one of several inspired by Williams' book.

Part 1 – Neville James reflects on sports, WNBA and the NBA.  He is then joined by Raymond Williams, Executive Director of the VI Lottery, as they discuss the carnival season, and the recent drawing. Neville then reflects on the lottery, casino and horse races.  

Part 2 – Neville James speaks with Nicole Parson of The Forum, Jeune Provost of the St. John School of the Arts and Raymond Williams of the VI Lottery about music, arts and the upcoming concert by Sphinx Virtuosi.  

Part 2 – Neville James broadcast live from Cramer's Park with guest co-host Calvert White, Commissioner of the Department of Sports, Parks & Recreation. They speak briefly with Raymond Williams, Executive Director of the VI Lottery. Next, they speak with camper Barbara Stout-Philip about her camping experience and family camping traditions. Last, Neville and Calvert speak separately with former Senator Positive Nelson and current Senate President Novelle E. Francis Jr. about the Department of Sports, Parks & Recreation, the availability of free Wi-Fi at Cramer's Park, and Easter Camping on St Croix.  

When teaching a public course called “The Age of Debt” this winter break, I had the strange realization that one of the the most successful readings in that course, the one which most clearly explained the 2008 crisis and the financialized economy, was written by an English professor. It was Annie McClanahan's Dead Pledges: Debt, Crisis, and Twenty-First Century Culture (Stanford University Press, 2016). The book is a masterful exploration of the cultural politics of the financial crisis and a powerful mediation on how to make sense of an era of unrepayable debts. As a review in the LA Review of Books notes, McClanahan has resurrected and repurposed the rich tradition of Marxist literary criticism which brought us Raymond Williams, analyzing post-crisis literature, photography, and cinema as cultural texts registering “a new ‘crisis subjectivity' in the wake of the mortgage meltdown's shattering revelations.” Dead Pledges is a must read. For whom? Well, anyone living in the 21st century, concerned about insurmountable debts, thinking of how culture and the economy transect each other, and striving for a radical politics fit for the mortgaged times in which we live. Aparna Gopalan is a Ph.D. student in Social Anthropology at Harvard University. Her research focuses on how managing surplus populations and tapping into fortunes at the “bottom-of-the-pyramid” are twin-logics that undergird poverty alleviation projects in rural Rajasthan.

It's one of the great existential questions that writers and creators face, too – Am I writing many books, or am I writing the same book many times? Sure, the “best” answer seems obvious, but I'm not sure the true answer is always clear-cut. Malcolm Galdwell made popular a study that showed the difference between two great artists, Picasso and Cezanne; there's deep and there's wide, and it's an eternal rhythm.

Hi again, nerds: we're back after a long hiatus with more high school English class reads and some Jungianism on the side! JK about that last one, we would never. We're talking about Aldous Huxley's 1932 “science fiction” novel Brave New World, which is about how Fordism is bad (yes) but so is being slutty (what? Why?). Shakespeare is Good. Drinking alcohol is Bad. We sure hope you're onboard for blanket moral judgments that don't seem to add up to much in the way of world-building, because this novel is crammed with them. We discuss politics of gender and sexuality, what a leftist critique might amount to here, and why mysticism is tiresome.   We read the 2006 Harper Perennial reprint with Huxley's intro to the 1958 edition called “Brave New World Revisited.” We consulted Raymond Williams's “Utopia and Science Fiction” from Science Fiction Studies (1978) and recommend it. Honestly, Science Fiction Studies is generally pretty cool.   Find us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook @betterreadpod, and email us nice things at betterreadpodcast@gmail.com.

In this episode Jeremy takes to the lectern for a two-hour mega-episode on the New Left in the second half of the Twentieth Century (and beyond). Picking up in the 1950s, where our previous episode concluded, we chart the full emergence of the New Left in various locations on both sides of the Atlantic, including the Students for a Democratic Society, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, the anti-Vietnam war movement and more. Jeremy spends time explaining the pivotal year of 1968, with its raft of political assassinations, violent disorder at the Chicago Democratic Convention, and the barricades of Paris, set alongside the work of crucial thinkers like EP Thompson and Raymond Williams. Jeremy contests the prevailing notion that the New Left laid the groundwork for the bourgeois individualism of the 80s, showing how its focus on anti-racist, feminist, anti-authoritarian politics, along with demands for maximum democratic freedom, can be traced all the way to the Bernie Sanders movement. Jeremy relates the politics of the New Left to a series of musical scenes, including Krautrock in Germany, proto-punk in Detroit, West Coast acid rock, Feminist post-punk, Hawkwind, the Pet Shop Boys and more. Next episode we return to NYC for our first encounter with Larry Levan. Check out our new website: https://www.loveisthemessagepod.co.uk/ Produced and edited by Matt Huxley.

Columnist at The Times James Marriott and arts journalist for The Guardian Jude Rogers discuss favourite books with Harriett Gilbert. James picks The Past by Tessa Hadley, a contemporary novel about family, place and the modern world encroaching upon the old; Jude recommends Border Country by Raymond Williams, a semi-autobiographical story of a man returning home to his small village on the Welsh borders, and how it's changed over a century; and Harriett loves A Summer Without Men by Siri Hustvedt, about a woman re-examining her life in after her husband's rejection.

Barry and Mike pick up their discussion on Raymond Williams' monograph, Television: Technology and Cultural From. In their previous episode they covered the idea that media technologies are answers to specific problems, rather than inventions looking for applications. In this episode they discuss how Williams' ideas fit and clash with Marshal McLuhan's ideas of media as being self-determining. In short, they look at whether the tensions between Williams and McLuhan is a case of a terminological incompatibility, or whether the two philosophies of media technologies really do argue for different models and outcomes.

Barry and Mike begin their discussion of Raymond Williams' 1974 book, Television. Their discussion revolves around the question of the place and purpose of media as a social process. The crux of the debate revolves around the question: Is television a solution looking for a problem, or is it, rather, the form that contains both? As a part of this, naturally, they go back to “their dear friend” Marshall McLuhan, who functions as a useful foil in teasing out the threads of possible insights. As always, we hope you enjoy!

In this episode Stephanie Toliver, Assistant Professor of Literacy and and Secondary Humanities at University of Colorado Boulder and lifelong sci-fi nerd chats with Henry and Colin about her experience writing her hybrid PhD dissertation. As part of her PhD, Stephanie got the opportunity to work with the DEEP Center's Block to Block Program teaching middle-school age black girls how to write science fiction. Her now published dissertation combines the stories written by those girls with theory and methodology to outline how Stephanie centers Black girls in her academic research. In this conversation they discuss how Stephanie's leading style during the workshop was informed by the girls' own interests and their storytelling instincts rather than the typical teacher-student model. As a group they engaged with afrofuturist stories from Black authors like Octavia Butler, Sherri L. Smith, Tracie Baptiste, and Nnedi Okorafor and used those stories to inform their own work. In detailing her own process, she explores with the hosts how academia should encourage storytelling, especially for scholars of color, rather than enforcing that they write in a more standard voice and tone. As a professor she encourages educators to use young adult literature to bridge the gap between learning and storytelling and more information about that can be found on her blog readingblackfutures.com. A full transcript of this episode will be available soon!Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Documentary on the DEEP Center's Block by Block Program: Block by Block's Guide to Resilience 21-22USC Annenberg's Civic Media FellowshipHenry's Civic Imagination ProjectOn Spiritual Strivings, Cynthia Dillard's Book that inspired Toliver's teaching methodsStephanie's Blog Post Defining AfrofuturismAfrofuturism Defined Elsewhere:Afrofuturism: From the Past to the Living Present | UCLAA Beginner's Guide To Afrofuturism: 7 Titles To Watch And Read (Essence)How Afrofuturism Can Help the World Mend | WIREDAfrofuturism: From Books to Blockbusters | It's Lit!
