Roger Berkowitz says costs of eating out at restaurants are up 30 to 40 percent, and that recent evidence suggests more consumers are eating at home. WBZ's Mike Macklin reports.

Building an institution on celebrity power, charisma, and a spirit of grandiosity attracts a lot of people, money and a certain kind of cache for everyone involved. It helps them all to feel like they're part of something that's big — a movement providing a sense of meaning and purpose. But too often, these movements crumble, and those inside are crushed by the process. It's a pattern that extends far beyond Mars Hill, into the realm of politics, academia, media, and more. In this bonus episode of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, host Mike Cosper speaks to Yuval Levin and Roger Berkowitz about the connections between the failure of our cultural institutions and the phenomena of rootlessness and loneliness, exploring how these related phenomena create the preconditions for charismatic leaders and corruption, He also talks to Russell Moore about what change looks like in the ruins, starting small, and the power of remembering our death.

Roger Berkowitz, Founder and Academic Director of the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College, shares the story and ideas of political thinker Hannah Arendt in this Moxie by Proxy episode. Hannah was a bold and fiercely independent political thinker. Born in 1906, she came of age during the Nazi era, escaping death and finding her way to New York City in 1941. She wrote and taught on an array of political topics. While Hannah saw great evil, she also loved the world in all its messiness and advocated for individuals to be active in public political life, engaged in doing and finding common ground with others. Her approach to thinking, which is both surprising and profound resonates in our current times.Roger is a scholar, thinker, and author in his own right. He is a Professor of Politics, Philosophy, and Human Rights at Bard. Roger also leads the Hannah Arendt Center's Virtual Reading Group, which meets weekly online to read the work of Hannah Arendt.

In today's episode, Film Forum presents a Q&A from the opening night of SPEER GOES TO HOLLYWOOD, on October 29th. The new documentary explores the post-war life of Albert Speer, the highest ranking Nazi to be spared the death penalty at Nuremburg, who was widely known as Hitler's architect. After emerging from 20 years at Spandau prison with a best-selling memoir, rebranded as a “good Nazi,” Speer tried – and got shockingly close – to attaining legitimate movie stardom. The film is based on hours of audio recordings between Speer and screenwriter Andrew Birkin, who was hired by Paramount to script the film version of Speer's life story. We were joined for the Q&A by filmmaker Vanessa Lapa and producer Tomer Eliav, moderated by Roger Berkowitz, the founder and director of Bard College's Hannah Arendt Center. SPEER GOES TO HOLLYWOOD is now playing. Please check www.filmforum.org for showtimes and tickets. Photo by Stephen Olweck.

In the latest Amor Mundi Podcast, Roger Berkowitz and Masha Gessen talk about how even amidst the rise of subjectivism and the internalization of the world—what Hannah Arendt calls world alienation—there has remained a commitment to a common or shared world. Yet, it is precisely that common world that today seems endangered, and Gessen asks how language is used in anti-political ways to undermine the world we share. If the common world is shattered, the question is whether a new story can be told and constituted to rebuild a common world. Berkowitz and Gessen ask: What would it mean in the wake of both the Trump Presidency and the Black Lives Matter Movement to retell the American story? But is the story of America the unfulfilled story of the Langston Hughes, that America has not yet lived up to its promise? Is it the story of competent management and technocracy? Or is it the story of decentralized and local government, a humbler and more anarchic amalgamation of plural and different people who come together around an embrace of freedom? Touching on the importance of hypocrisy, the rise of the masses, and the perils of bi-partisanship, Gessen and Berkowitz embrace politics as a conversation, the attempt to figure out how we live together. 

In this seventh installment of our series on liberalism, Benjamin Klutsey, the director of academic outreach at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, sits down with Roger Berkowitz to discuss the effects that democratic conversations, elite technocratic prejudices, and mass loneliness have on pluralism and liberalism.

He specializes in law, political theory, and continental philosophy. His books include The Gift of Science: Leibniz and the Modern Legal Tradition and Thinking In Dark Times: Hannah Arendt On Ethics And Politics.

Investigator, Thrapist, and Lawyer: Title IX Panels and the FLight from Legal Judgement

GLOBALE: Tribunal – A Trial Against the Transgressions of the 20th Century | Symposium Fri, June 19 - Sun, June 21, 2015 The GLOBALE begins with a tribunal at which the 20th century will be tried for its transgressions and crimes against humanity, animals, and nature. Indictments will be sought for genocide such as the Holocaust, the exploitation of the Earth, and the extermination of the animal world by humans. With a conference, a panorama-screen installation, and a film program, the tribunal will present a critical review of the 20th century, a “century of extremes” (Eric Hobsbawm, 1994) and declining inhibition. The three-day event takes its cue from Franz Kafka’s novel »The Trial« (1914/1915) and prominent trials of the 20th century. The historical trials that serve as a model for this tribunal are the dadaist trial against Maurice Barrès (1921), the Nuremberg Trials, and the Vietnam War Crimes Tribunal. As the first international tribunals prosecuting war crimes, the Nuremberg Trials are exemplary of legal proceedings to ascertain individual guilt in crimes against humanity. The Vietnam War Crimes Tribunal, also known as the Russell Tribunal, was initiated by Lord Bertrand Russell in 1966, as a private body for investigating and evaluating American war crimes in Vietnam. It later served as the model for investigating violations of international law; for example, for the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal. Our tribunal also reminds us of the legal importance of Karlsruhe – the seat of both the Federal Constitutional Court and the Federal Attorney General of Germany. The presentations will deal with the history of violence and genocide, expulsion and persecution in the 20th century. The speakers are distinguished scholars and artists exploring these themes from historical, legal, philosophical, and artistic perspectives, who will present their latest research findings. Conference languages are English and German. /// Die GLOBALE beginnt mit einem Prolog am 19. Juni 2015 im ZKM: mit einem Prozess gegen die Verfehlungen des 20. Jahrhunderts und seine Verbrechen gegen Mensch, Tier und Natur. Angeklagt werden Völkermorde wie der Holocaust, die Ausbeutung der Erde und die Ausrottung der Tierwelt durch den Menschen. In Form einer Konferenz, einer Panorama-Screen-Installation und eines Filmprogramms liefert das Tribunal eine kritische Bestandsaufnahme des 20. Jahrhunderts. Das Tribunal findet im ZKM an einem geschichtlich belasteten Ort statt. 1915, vor genau 100 Jahren, war Baubeginn des sog. Hallenbaus als architektonisch avancierte Waffen- und Munitionsfabrik. Während des Dritten Reiches mussten Tausende von Zwangsarbeitern hier unmenschlichen Dienst tun. Insofern ist der Hallenbau auch ein Mahnmal der im Tribunal verhandelten Verbrechen. Die dreitägige Veranstaltung wird vom ZKM in Auseinandersetzung mit dem Roman »Der Prozess« (1914/1915) von Franz Kafka sowie historischen Prozessen wie etwa André Bretons dadaistischem Schauprozess gegen Maurice Barrès (1921), den Nürnberger Prozessen oder dem »Vietnam War Crimes Tribunal« inszeniert. Die Nürnberger Prozesse stehen als erster internationaler Prozess gegen die Kriegsverbrechen beispielhaft für die juristische Verhandlung der individuellen Schuld an Vergehen gegen die Menschlichkeit. Das »Vietnam War Crimes Tribunal«, auch unter dem Namen »Russell-Tribunal« bekannt, wurde 1966 von dem Mathematiker, Philosophen und Literaturnobelpreisträger Lord Bertrand Russel als private Nichtregierungsorganisation ins Leben gerufen, um die US-amerikanischen Kriegsverbrechen im Vietnamkrieg zu untersuchen. Später diente es als Modell für die Untersuchung von Völkerrechtsverletzungen, z. B. das UN-Kriegsverbrechertribunal. Das Tribunal erinnert auch an die Bedeutung Karlsruhes als »Residenzstadt des Rechts«, in der sowohl das Bundesverfassungsgericht, der Bundesgerichtshof als auch die Bundesanwaltschaft ihren Sitz haben.
