Você já ouviu falar sobre Christiano Júnior e sua série fotográfica de pessoas descritas como escravizadas?No episódio #113 as petianas Ana Clara Neves e Thais Medrano receberam a ex-petiana Mariana Tavares Ferreira pra falar um pouco sobre sua pesquisa de monografia. Nesse episódio, abordamos sua escolha do tema, o uso de fotografia como fonte e a trajetória do fotógrafo Christiano Júnior no Rio de Janeiro em meados do século XIX, especialmente focando na representação de mulheres negras escravizadas.

Bilder av lidande berör oss, men kan också vara exploaterande. Katarina Bjärvall reflekterar över plikten att se och varför Susan Sontag ändrade sig. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Under en taggig lugg ser hon mig rakt i ögonen med utforskande blick. Hon vill mig något. De är tre flickor på rad, alla i blåmönstrade klänningar över vida byxor. De andra två tittar ut ur bild, mot den sandgula himlen. Bara hon i mitten ser på mig, då fotografen, nu betraktaren.Turkiska Kurdistan sommaren 1988 var fattigt, förtryckt och krigshärjat. Jag ville dokumentera hur barnen där levde. Storasystrar som bar runt sina småsyskon under den hårda solen, pojkar som svalkade sig med bad i Tigris och så de här tre flickorna som kom tillbaka till sin by i flackt kvällsljus. Barnarbetare på väg hem från bomullsfälten.Jag tänker på bilderna jag tog när jag läser den amerikanska kulturkritikern Susan Sontags båda böcker ”Om fotografi”, från 1977, och ”Att betrakta andras lidande”, från 2003. Böckerna finns samlade i en volym – utan foton, men texterna är så precist skrivna att bilderna framkallas inom mig. Både de välkända, som den av den nakna flickan som flyr undan en napalmattack i krigets Vietnam, och sådana jag aldrig sett förut, som den av en ung kvinna döende av kvicksilverförgiftning i sin mammas famn i japanska Minamata.Vilka skäl finns att fotografera lidande människor och publicera bilderna? Det är frågan Susan Sontag borrar i. Om man skulle ställa den till dokumentärfotografer så är jag säker på att många skulle svara att de vill väcka engagemang. Och att en förutsättning för engagemang en drabbad person som betraktaren kan identifiera sig med. Gärna ett barn, eftersom varje betraktare själv har varit barn och eftersom barn är essensen av oskuld.Ett skenheligt resonemang, menade Susan Sontag 1977. Den dokumentära fotografin utnyttjar enligt henne människors underläge och dövar betraktarens samvete. Uttrycket ”ta en bild” avslöjar girigheten. Ett av hennes exempel utgår från den statliga amerikanska kommittén mot barnarbete som i början av 1900-talet sände ut fotografen Lewis Hine för att dokumentera barn i kolgruvor, bomullsspinnerier och på betfält. Syftet var att låta beslutsfattare i Washington se barnens utsatthet. Rovlysten appropriering, kallade Sontag det.I den andra boken har hon ändrat sig. Hon konstaterar nu att det saknas belägg för det hon tidigare hävdade. Istället är hon övertygad om det dokumentära fotografiets etiska verkanskraft och ger en rad exempel på när det har förändrat historiska skeenden. Fotona av amerikanska barn i industrier och jordbruk bidrog till att barnarbete förbjöds i USA och bilden på flickan med napalm på sin nakna hud var en av flera katalysatorer som fick amerikanerna att protestera mot Vietnamkriget tills det avslutades. Därför är det, menar Sontag, en plikt att se: Ingen vuxen har rätt att unna sig den okunnighet och ytlighet som det innebär att vägra möta andras lidande på bild.Varför har hon ändrat sig? Kanske har hon påverkats av sin partner, den ikoniska porträttfotografen Annie Leibovitz, som hon levde med från 1980-talets slut. Eller så har hon helt enkelt tänkt djupare.Om lidande ska synas måste ju den som lider visa sig. Sontags förmåga till självrannsakan får mig att vända kameran mot mig själv och fråga mig: Är jag villig att låta andra betrakta mitt lidande? Mitt svar är att det beror på. Den gången jag blev utsatt för ett allvarligt brott ville jag gärna ha det dokumenterat på bild, men andra gånger, framför allt när djag är sjuk, värjer jag mig mot uppmärksamhet.Att inte alla lidande människor vill få sitt ansikte spritt över världen stod klart efter publiceringen av ett foto från inbördeskrigets Algeriet 1997. Porträttet togs av den algeriske fotografen Hocine Zaourar dagen efter en massaker i staden Bentalha. En kvinna ser ut att vara på väg att svimma, lutad mot en husvägg. Hennes huvudduk har glidit åt sidan, hennes ögon är halvslutna och blicken oskarp. Ur hennes öppna mun tycks ett kvidande ljuda. Bilden publicerades världen över, med en bildtext som påstod att kvinnan hade förlorat sina åtta barn i massakern. Reaktionerna mot kriget blev kraftfulla.Före internet hade foton färdats enkelriktat från den fattiga världen till den rika, men nu hände något nytt: Bilden kom tillbaka till den porträtterade, som protesterade. Hon sörjde visserligen, eftersom hon förlorat tre släktingar i massakern, men hennes barn levde. Och hon upplevde publiceringen som kränkande. Hennes protest gav många fotografer en insikt: Den jag porträtterar är nu min publik, oavsett hur långt ifrån varandra vi befinner oss.Några decennier senare har AI skapat möjligheter att avbilda lidande utan att något levande ansikte behöver utnyttjas. Det har gjort att två nygamla storheter har tagit revansch: sanningen och verkligheten. Det är bilder av den sanna verkligheten som bär förändringskraft.Jag återvänder till Kurdistan många gånger, men det dröjer trettiosju år innan jag kommer tillbaka till byn där jag fotograferade flickorna. Med mig har jag en bunt papperskopior av mina bilder. Genast blir jag inbjuden i ett hus. Te, nybakat bröd och ost och sylt från byn och så bilderna som går från hand till hand, från mobil till mobil. En kvinna känner förtjust igen sig själv, andra känner igen grannar som flyttat härifrån. Och en man känner igen mig – han minns mina bara ben, säger han.Några månader senare plingar min telefon hemma i Sverige: Hello, Ms Katrina. I'm Sena, the little girl in the picture. Intill meddelandet ser jag min bild på de tre flickorna. Hon i mitten är inringad med rött.Sena berättar att hon fått bilden av en kusin i byn. Minns du när jag tog fotot? frågar jag. Ja, skriver hon, hur skulle jag kunna glömma blygheten, bitterheten, sorgen och ilskan som syns i mina ögon? Hon fortsätter: Jag var sju år och arbetade på bomullsfälten. Jag önskade mig en cykel och ett lugnt liv. Det är skönt att ha blivit vuxen. Hon berättar att hon utbildat sig och jobbar i Istanbul. Och så skickar hon en bild där hon sitter med sin bror och hans familj i en park och äter vattenmelon.Sena ville bli sedd. Hon ville äga sitt liv då, så som hon nu äntligen äger det. Där finns en etik som dokumentärfotot kan hålla sig till: Vill den lidande bli betraktad? Men ibland är det omöjligt att veta. Den napalmskadade Phan Thi Kim Phuc kunde inte ge sitt samtycke till att bilden togs, men hennes livshistoria visar att fotot har gett henne både avancerad sjukvård och en plattform som aktivist till stöd för krigsdrabbade barn världen över. Under en tidsrymd som är typisk för det sekundsnabba hantverk som fotografin är prövas så fotografens professionella omdöme till det yttersta: Kan denna bild göra något gott? I så fall, ta den och sprid den.Katarina Bjärvalljournalist och författareProducent: Ann Lingebrandt

RECOGNITIONSAs I take a moment to reflect on my journey, I am filled with profound gratitude for the Creator's guiding hand that has led me every step of the way. Life has brought me countless blessings, and at the forefront of these blessings is the immeasurable debt of thanks I owe to my late parents, Charles and Ira Gittens. They bestowed upon me their wisdom and creative spirit, which have been a consistent source of inspiration throughout my life. Their counsel and encouragement continue to resonate within me, shaping my path and purpose. To my beloved wife, Magnola Gittens, your unwavering support has been my anchor in turbulent seas. Your love and understanding provide the strength necessary to navigate life's complexities. I am eternally grateful for your presence, which comforts and uplifts me. To my brothers—Shurland, Charles, Ricardo, and my late brothers Arnott and Stephen—as well as my sisters, Emerald, Marcella, and Cheryl, thank you for being my steadfast companions along this journey. Each of you has contributed uniquely to my narrative, reminding me of the importance of family ties in shaping who I am today. I extend my heartfelt appreciation to my cousins: Joy Mayers, Kevin and Ernest Mayers, Donna Archer, Avis Dyer, and Jackie Clarke. Your love and camaraderie have enriched my life beyond measure. To my uncles, Clifford, Leonard Mayers, David Bruce, and Collin Rock, your support has been invaluable, strengthening the bonds of our family. To my children, Laron and Lisa, grandson Elijah you are my pride and joy, the motivation behind my work, fuelling my desire to create and inspire.Moreover, I am equally grateful to all who have believed in me and wanted nothing but the best for my growth. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Platizky, Mr. Matthew Sutton, Mr. Juan Arroyo, Mr. and Mrs. David Lavine, and many others have played pivotal roles in my development, encouraging me to pursue my passions relentlessly. During my time at New Jersey City University (NJCU), I had the privilege of receiving guidance from exceptional mentors, including the late Dr. Joseph Drew, Merline Mayers, Mrs. Ellen Gordon, Dr. Nicholas Gordon, Rev. Dr. Scofield Eversley BSS, and many others. Conversations about enhancing my writing skills after graduating were integral to my growth, providing the foundation for my future endeavours. Over the past three decades, my experiences in the leisure activities industry have significantly shaped my journey. From 1995 to 2026, I have devoted myself to writing, resulting in 487E-Publications and 314 podcasts that resonate within the community. In recognition of the profound impact Dr. Joseph Drew had on my academic and personal development, I dedicated my 66th publication, "A Tribute to Culture" Vol. 1, to him—a small token of gratitude for his enormous influence on my life.As I look forward to what lies ahead, I remain thankful to all who have contributed to my story and to the Creator for the endless possibilities this journey holds. Each person's presence has left an indelible mark on my life, guiding me toward a future filled with hope and potential.Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D.References180-degree rule. (n.d.).

Brian Onishi and Jeff Stoyanoff continue their summer camp slasher theme with 1983's Sleepaway CampThey are joined by guests Jo Vallese (editor of It Came From the Closet) and T (Associate Professor of Women and Gender Studies), and frame the film through queer horror, trans horror, and the queer concept of camp. They discuss the film's shift from idyllic opening to tragedy, its child and teen cruelty, predatory cook, and boundary violations, and how its notorious ending positions Angela as both killer and “final girl,” raising questions about identity, consent, and whether Angela's gender is self-determined or imposed by Aunt Martha. The panel explores reclamation and rehabilitation, audience reactions (including a NYU screening with trans and nonbinary students), the Reagan-era backdrop, a gay male gaze reading via Viet Dien's Sontag-inspired essay, and how the film differs from Friday the 13th through accidental camp, queer rage debates, failures of adult authority, and unusual violence against children. Dont' worry, they find joy too.

Unspecified description

FOREWORDThe intricate interplay between culture and individual legacy forms a critical site of scholarly inquiry in the humanities and social sciences. The volume entitled The Right Excellent Sir Garfield St. Aubrun Sobers, NH, AO, OCC (1936–2026): An Interdisciplinary Investigation of Authorship, Media Representation, and Theological Vision via the Scholarly Perspective of Dr. William Anderson Gittens, Doctor of Divinity offers a seminal contribution to this discourse by foregrounding how cultural frameworks shape the interpretation of one of the Caribbean's preeminent figures. This work situates Sir Garfield Sobers not solely as an unparalleled athlete but as a profound cultural icon whose multifaceted legacy encapsulates the sociohistorical, theological, and media dimensions of Caribbean identity and postcolonial subjectivity.Culture, as theorized by Hall (1997), functions beyond mere customs or traditions; it constitutes a dynamic, interpretive process through which societies negotiate meaning, continuity, and historical memory. This conceptualization undergirds Dr. Gittens' interdisciplinary approach, which deftly integrates anthropology, sociology, media studies, cultural theory, and theology to illuminate Sir Garfield Sobers' enduring impact. Drawing from the rich vein of Caribbean scholarship—intersecting with postcolonial theorists such as Bhabha (1994) and cultural anthropologists like Geertz (1973)—the author articulates how Sobers' narrative transcends athletic achievement to embody broader questions of national identity, ethical leadership, and spiritual vision.Dr. Gittens advances a compelling thesis that authorship serves as cultural stewardship, whereby biography is more than historical recounting; it becomes a vital vehicle for preserving collective memory and fostering intellectual reflection. This aligns with Nichols' (2017) insights into narrative ethics and Sontag's (1977) explorations of representation, especially as mediated through contemporary platforms. The volume's rigorous analysis of media representations underscores the formative role of newspapers, broadcasting, and digital media in constructing public memory and shaping societal ideals surrounding excellence and humility, echoing Couldry's (2012) argument regarding media as constitutive of social reality.Perhaps most distinctive is the integration of theological reflection as an interpretive lens, situating moral virtue, vocation, and gratitude at the center of Sobers' public legacy. This theological dimension, informed by Dr. Gittens' own expertise in divinity, enriches the interdisciplinary dialogue and expands the contours of cultural inquiry. It invites readers to consider the ethical and spiritual dimensions that underpin leadership and cultural resilience, thus harmonizing with Wright's (2006) discourse on spirituality in postcolonial contexts.In sum, this volume stands as a testament to the power of interdisciplinary scholarship to deepen our understanding of culture as an active force shaping identity, memory, and historical consciousness. By elucidating Sir Garfield Sobers' multifarious legacy, Dr. Gittens contributes significantly to Caribbean studies while offering broader methodological insights relevant to scholars of biography, media, and theology. This work invites ongoing engagement with the ways in which extraordinary individuals become enduring cultural symbols—an engagement that is essential for sustaining the intellectual and cultural vitality of societies worldwide.It is with great scholarly admiration that I commend this volume to readers who seek to explore the intricate nexus of culture, history, and spirituality through the exemplary life of Sir Garfield Sobers.Dr. William Anderson Gittens, Doctor of Divinity ReferencesBeckles, H.

20. yüzyılın en önemli entelektüellerinden biri olarak kabul edilen Amerikalı yazar, aktivist Susan Sontag'ın artık klasikleşmiş eseri Başkalarının Acısına Bakmak ben okurum'da… Dört bir yanımızda savaşlar sürer, her gün yeni bir vahşet olayıyla karşı karşıya kalırken ve tüm bunları fotoğraflar, videolar, sosyal medya üzerinden izlerken, konuya farklı bakmak için kaçırılmaması gereken bir sohbet bu. Deniz Yüce Başarır'ın, podcast komşusu, gazeteci, sosyolog Can Kozanoğlu'nu ağırladığı bölüm, geniş bakış açısı, samimiyeti ile dinleyenleri çok da düşündürecek. Tabii Başarır'ın sesinden, Sontag'ın satırları eşliğinde…

"I'm not suggesting that repression has lost its place as a fundamental defense mechanism. Repression remains central, coherent, and fundamental to the founding of the unconscious. It is what makes certain contents inaccessible to consciousness, and what we access as psychoanalysts through dreams, play, symptoms, and associations. That remains true. What I was observing, and I'm still observing more now, is something different. When I see children and adolescents that are more capable to work on a task while doing homework, and at the same time listening to music, and at the same time texting with somebody - I don't think that they are real. This is my point. I don't think they are real. This multitasking way of living is part of life today… The clinical question for us becomes this - when does this multiplicity become a symptom? When does it interfere with the capacity for depth, for intimacy, for a sustained emotional contact?  I think that this is what we need to see, to study and to differentiate in our consulting room."    Episode Description: We consider how changes in our culture may impact the individual's intrapsychic space and from that the nature of the psychoanalytic encounter. Virginia comments on the diminishing of the paternal symbolizing function and with that a change in the 'rites of passage' that adolescents traverse - now the rituals are "created by the young people themselves" as contrasted with those passed down by their elders. This, she feels, has resulted in "intimacy becoming spectacle" and for many, the analytic session is where "the construction of intimacy may begin."  She shares clinical material with us from 40 years ago and contrasts the nature of her interventions with her contemporary treatments. Now, "I appreciate the mystery in the process and that we create meaning with the patient." Virginia closes with seeing analytic treatment as "an invitation to a process of thinking that, to remain alive, must be rethought."   Our Guests: Virginia Ungar M.D., training analyst at the Buenos Aires Psychoanalytic Association (APdeBA). She specializes in child and adolescent analysis, was the Chair of the IPA's Child and Adolescent Psychoanalysis Committee (COCAP) and of the IPA Committee for Integrated Training.

With THE WONDERFUL WORLD THAT ALMOST WAS: A Life of Peter Hujar and Paul Thek (FSG), Andrew Durbin brings us a masterful biography of a pair of artists, their art, gay life pre- and post-Stonewall, and more. We talk about his first exposure to each of their art, why he restricted the biography to the years Paul and Peter were together/around each other (1956-1975), how queer lives are often oriented around death and why he wanted to affirm life with this book, when a biographer can let his subjects go, and why he prefers Thek over Hujar. We get into the ephemerality of much of Thek's art installations, Hujar's dissatisfaction with commercial photography and the struggles with getting photos taken seriously as art, the triangle they formed with Andrew's hero, Susan Sontag, Thek's belief that marrying the right woman (Sontag, at one point) would have "fixed" him, his regret at not getting to interview Joseph Raffael for the book, and how meeting Ann Wilson changed the course of the book. We also discuss how Andrew became an art-writer/-editor by accident, how NYC has changed since he left 6 years ago, why young people are enthusiastic about his Thek and Hujar, why he needs to decompress from writing about history, how art criticism feeds his fiction and poetry, and more.

Once upon a time, the food critic of the Washington Post was an all-powerful — and totally anonymous — figure in the local restaurant industry. But the paper's new critic, Elazar Sontag, takes over at a very different moment. We had a long chat with Sontag about the Washington dining scene, the role of a critic, and how to communicate about food in 2026. Want some more DC news?

La escritora estadounidense Susan Sontag le dedicó a Borges una carta al cumplirse 10 años de su muerte. En esa carta Sontag le dice a Borges:En algún momento dijiste que un escritor —y añadiste con delicadeza: todas las personas— debe pensar que todo lo que le suceda es un recurso. (Te referías a tu ceguera.)Yo quiero convertir en recurso lo que me ha pasado en estos días y aprovechar esto para leerles este cuento hermoso.

Electroclash icon Tiga talks about the manosphere, the currency of cool and his first album in 10 years, HOTLIFE. Canadian producer Tiga—born Tiga Sontag—has navigated the peaks and valleys of electronic music for over three decades. A key architect of the electroclash explosion in the early 2000s, Sontag reigned supreme over the indie sleaze era of the dance floor during the 2010s. But eventually, that momentum stalled. Sontag, one of the scene's most charismatic figures, found himself contemplating retirement while battling a health crisis that threatened to derail his career entirely. In this rare interview, Sontag talks to RA editor Gabriel Szatan about those lost years. Rather than retracing his anthemic hits ("You Gonna Want Me," "Sunglasses At Night"), the pair discuss why, after stepping back from the public eye for over a decade, Tiga is entering a new chapter he describes as "all answers, no questions." His upcoming LP, HOTLIFE, unpacks personal demons alongside his takes on everything from Elon Musk and the manosphere to the "pornographic" repetition of the music industry's relentless churn. It's out April 17th via Turbo Recordings and Secret City Records, and features contributions from Boys Noize, Maara and Priori and more. Listen to the episode in full.

Photography is a technology of contradictions. It is at once mechanical and mysterious, even magical. It furnishes evidence of presence while being a token of absence. It can show us proof but can't, without accompanying narration or context, make us understand. And perhaps most perplexing of all, it is an imperialistic technology which, paradoxically, atomizes the world and democratizes all events and experiences, making each viewer of photographs the owner of a facsimile-world in his or her head. Wes & Erin discuss two essays from Susan Sontag's collection, “On Photography,” “In Plato's Cave” and “America, Seen Through Photographs, Darkly,” and ask what constitutes photography's “ethics of seeing,” and whether Sontag suggests an alternative comportment towards the camera, the subject, and the photographic image.

In this episode Jerry and Stablydiscussed Susan Sontag's On Photography, with both finding the book overly long, baroque, and pedantic, though both agreed that Sontag's observations were interesting when extracted from the dense, "show-offy" prose. Jerry and Stably critiqued Sontag's positions on photography as a predatory act, its role in tourism and status, and its potential for desensitization, with Jerry challenging Sontag's political framing and insistence on classifying art. The discussion included Stably suggesting Sontag's critique was politically motivated, while Jerry  prioritized free speech regarding photography in public.

Dr. William Anderson Gittens**: Welcome to today's podcast! I am your host, Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D., coming to you from beautiful Barbados. Today, we delve into the profound themes of innocence and identity through the lens of visual storytelling. Ancient Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle investigated the essence of reality and the self, laying the foundation for our understanding of innocence and identity (Cambridge Handbook of Identity, n.d.). In my work, *Lisa Wearing Her Dad's Hat: An Analysis of Innocence and Identity* (2026, ISBN 979-8-90271-421-7), I offer a textual analysis and literature review centered around a powerful image: a young child named Lisa wearing her father's oversized hat. Though captured in a fleeting moment, this image invites us to explore the deep interconnection between identity formation and innocence—concepts extensively examined in literature, religious discourse, and contemporary cultural studies.As a photojournalist, cinematographer, cultural theorist, and Doctor of Divinity, I am committed to blending theological and theoretical frameworks to illuminate the layers of meaning embedded within this image. The photograph of Lisa serves as a significant portal for reflection on the biblical and cultural significance of identity and innocence—concepts that resonate not only within religious contexts but are deeply woven into our daily lives.ReferencesBatchen, G.

Schrijver, filosoof en essayist Susan Sontag, geboren en overleden in New York, schreef over de meest uiteenlopende onderwerpen: filosofie, politiek, ziekte, fotografie, pornografie en oorlog en werd ‘het geweten van de Verenigde Staten' genoemd. Nog steeds wordt haar werk gelezen en haar invloed merkbaar, ook bij een jongere generatie. Op haar 21ste sterfdag komt HUMAN met een speciale aflevering van de podcast Wat Blijft over Susan Sontag.  Journalist Inge ter Schure praat met:         *Benjamin Moser, de biograaf van Susan Sontag.    *Lynn Berger, schrijver bij De Correspondent en gepromoveerd in de fotografiegeschiedenis.    *NRC journalist Eva Peek, die tijdens een recent bezoek aan Oekraïne zag dat de schappen in de boekhandels daar vol met boeken van Susan Sontag liggen en die haar eigen feminisme met behulp van Sontag aan het herwaarderen is. 

Erin just published her first book, "Avail," which you can order here: https://www.pauldrybooks.com/products/avail "Avail" features a long prose-poem which titles the book and winds through sections of lineated, often formal poems. The prose-poem comprises a series of lyric meditations on the image of the veil—from religious and cultural veils, to veils imbedded in idiom and metaphor, to veiled women in art and classic films, to veils drawn and parted by illness and death—which slowly divulge the harrowing details of the poet's blood disorder. Throughout, allusions to classic film, literature, and art serve as the "veils" with which the poet attempts to obscure the self-estrangement and vulnerability her illness has induced—insecurities which follow her long after her recovery. In a poem about a break-up set during her career as a jazz singer and against the backdrop of a 1930s screwball comedy, she longs "to shake life by the martini (but stay self- / possessed), to star in the movie of myself / instead of playing second lead." During a visit to Naples, Mt. Vesuvius becomes "a Crawford eyebrow / arched over the bay." And in California, after a trip to the Getty Villa, she recalls Sontag's "missive on allusion, that no part / of any work is new, that all is reproduction." By the end of the collection, O'Luanaigh has fashioned from the sum of these various allusions her own poetic identity, unveiled in the poems themselves.

Susan Sontag for almost forty years was the most recognisable public intellectual in America. She inspired an entire generation of critics to read more widely, think and feel more deeply, and stay attuned to the transformative power of art. In her numerous critical essays on art, politics, and our technologically mediated ways of seeing, Sontag built up her own distinctive aesthetic and moral sensibility, one that merged the moral seriousness of high art and the joyful eroticism of so-called low cultural products. Her debut collection, Against Interpretation, made her an almost overnight intellectual celebrity fueled by such iconoclastic essays like Notes on 'Camp'. In this episode, critic and art historian, A.V. Marraccini guest hosts to discuss the legacy and enduring importance of Sontag's writing, orbiting around a discussion of the early Notes on 'Camp' and the mid-period definitive takedown of fascist aesthetics, Fascinating Fascism. Ultimately we argue that a reconsideration of these essays are indispensable to understanding our own neo-fascist moment in which a new breed of grifters and cynical aesthetes are attempting to blind us to history and obscure the baleful influence of the fascist aesthetic's romantic longings. Re-reading Sontag reminds us of the interwovenness of art and politics and ask us to confront urgent moral questions of the critic's and artist's role during tumultuous political times. How do we avoid complicity in a society in the grip of political nihilism and spellbound by fantasies of domination and purifying violence?Purchase We The Parasites: https://sublunaryeditions.com/products/we-the-parasitesFollow A.V. on Twitter(X): @saintsoftnessPlease consider becoming a paying subscriber to our Patreon to get exclusive bonus episodes, early access releases, and bookish merch: https://www.patreon.com/MoralMinorityFollow us on Twitter(X).Devin: @DevinGoureCharles: @satireredactedEmail us at: moralminoritypod@gmail.com

Learn how to spot main ideas, separate concrete from “wishy-washy” lines, and use author tone and repetition to navigate dense prose. We also dive into why Sontag highlights emotional distance, postponed gratification, and filmmaker Robert Bresson and how these themes show up in CARS questions.What you'll learn:How to find the main idea when the writing is abstract“Concrete vs. wishy-washy” sentence filter (what to cling to vs. skim)Why detachment changes emotional responses in reflective artHow labels like “cold” vs “hot” art can be trapsPractical CARS habits: stay engaged without importing your own opinionsTry the passage & 5 questions:

Can Artificial Intelligence be art? And if yes, can it be good? Today on the Artalogue, Madison Beale sits down with artist Jake Elwes to discuss their art practice, as an early adopter of A.I., using it to challenge how we think about the world and technology through their artwork. Elwes does't separate art and tech, instead they use it as an innovative and generative medium. Elwes creates diffusion models that transform faces, words, and gestures into code. Bias, embedded into the datasets and diffusion models that are being used by almost everyone in our world,  becomes something you can see when the work breaks down. We discuss some of their works, like a diffusion‑driven interpretation of Sontag's Against Interpretation. The Zizi Show,  which has been the art work that introduced Madison to Elwes' work, “queers the dataset” by creating a unique data set with consenting and compensated drag performs, making moving images that transform into drag kings, queens, monsters and things that dance and lip-sync. The result is a cabaret that prompts us to think about bias, consent, and what it means to make art with tools that reflect us back in troubled but revealing ways.Elwes and Beale talk about decolonizing data, art, tech and the problems that arise in the gaps between. We compare US and UK art education, unpack how normativity creeps into “perfect” generated images, and explore how far we can take Artificial Intelligence in the art world. The thread tying it all together is intention: tools are powerful, but human voice is the point. If you care about AI, art, drag, ethics, or how culture could absorb new technology without losing soul, this conversation offers a sharp, hopeful starting point for deeper thinking.

David Sontag, CEO and Co-Founder of Layer Health, describes the environment of chart reviews in healthcare and how AI and large language models can be used to analyze a patient's medical record to extract key clinical details. Applying natural language processing to medical records has been challenging due to the complexity of the language and the longitudinal nature of the data. This large language approach from Layer can enhance clinical decision-making, quality measurement, regulatory compliance, and patient outcomes. David explains, "Every patient will have experienced a chart review at some point. Whether it's when they've come home from a medical visit and go to their electronic medical record to look at the notes written by their providers. Or it's been experienced in the patient room, in the doctor's room, watching a clinician review the past medical records to try to get a better context of what's going on with that patient, so that's from the patient's perspective." "The same thing happens everywhere else in healthcare. So, chart review is the process of analyzing a patient's medical record to extract key clinical details. You can imagine going through clinical notes, lab results, imaging reports, and medical history, trying to create that complete and accurate picture of the patient's health. And it's used everywhere for measuring quality, for improving the financial performance of health system providers, and for regulatory compliance."   "Some aspects of natural language understanding from patients' medical records have been attempted for well over a decade, and these approaches have been typically very surface-level. So look at a single note, try to answer a relatively simplistic question from that note, but the grand challenge has always been one of how do we mimic the type of reasoning that a physician would do where they would be looking at a patient's longitudinal medical record across many notes trying to piece together data from not just from the unstructured but also the structured data."  #LayerHealth #ClinicalAI #AIinHealthcare #MedicalChartReview #PrecisionMedicine #ClinicalResearch #LLMsinHealthcare layerhealth.com Listen to the podcast here

So look at a single note, try to answer a relatively simplistic question from that note, but the grand challenge has always been one of how do we mimic the type of reasoning that a physician would do where they would be looking at a patient's longitudinal medical record across many notes trying to piece together data from not just from the unstructured but also the structured data."  #LayerHealth #ClinicalAI #AIinHealthcare #MedicalChartReview #PrecisionMedicine #ClinicalResearch #LLMsinHealthcare layerhealth.com Download the transcript here

"Hue Mirror" In Illness as Metaphor, Susan Sontag once wrote: “Illness is the night side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick. Although we all prefer to use the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place.” Well, my guest today on the program has recently been grappling with the use of the other passport Sontag is referring to and that grappling has yielded a song cycle that no matter what kingdom you find yourself dwelling in, will be moving, inspiring and transcendent." The Chicago born singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jess Robbins was diagnosed with AS, which is more specifically known as anklosing spondylitis, an aggressive autoimmune disease that can cause debilitating chronic pain as well as spinal inflammation and the fusing of the vertebrae. It's scary stuff, but part of Robbins' emotional healing was finally getting a name to go with the symptoms she'd been having for years. The other part of that healing? Making art. Robbins fronts the band Course and their new album Hue Mirror is an effecting song-cycle about navigating the complex and uncertain terrain of chronic pain, physical vulnerability and the uncertainty of the changes AS could bring. Hue Mirror is an unflinching and meditative look at how human frailty translates into art and that translation is where the beauty of this album really lives. Dark, probing, and unflinching, Hue Mirror is a stirring song-cycle that's punctuated by shadowy rhythms, vaporous percussion and and heavenly vocals. It's moving and powerful work but you don't have to be diagnosed with an illness to relate to it--you just have to be a human being with a big beating heart. After all, we're all facing an uncertain future and Hue Mirror is a way of facing it together.

Robert Boyers founded the quarterly Salmagundi in 1965 and has been its editor in chief ever since. He's the author of 12 books, including most recently Maestros Monsters: Days & Nights with Sontag and Steiner and before that The Tyranny of Virtue: Identity, The Academy and the Hunt for Political Heresies. Besides teaching at Skidmore College, he directs the New York State Summer Writers Institute. Salmagundi rightly prides itself on hosting wide-ranging, inquisitive discussions of major topics involving race, gender, literature, psychology and so much more. This discussion goes in depth on four entries from the magazine. First up: “Talking Race Matters: A Conversation with John McWhorter & Thomas Chatterton Williams” explores the limits of racial essentialism as well as total assimilation that risks denying what is unique about the Black perspective and experience. A second piece is Elizabeth Benedict's essay, “What's the Matter with Sex?” It tackles how far the influence of pornography has gone (astray) as a training ground that leads young men into often degrading behavior to the women they are intimate with, including the use of choking as a form of eroticism. “The Failure of Censorship” by Adam Phillips looks at how our desires endanger us and yet at the same time to deny them denies aspects of ourselves. When is and isn't self-censorship fruitful? Finally, Salmagundi hosted a symposium called “Can the American Meritocracy Get Religion?” Five writers are responding to an editorial by Ross Douthat in the New York Times. All found Doughat's views too narrow or incoherent to be persuasive. Dan Hill, PhD, is the author of ten books and leads Sensory Logic, Inc.

Episode 8 in our history of the great essays is about Susan Sontag's ‘Against Interpretation' (1963). What was interpretation and why was Sontag so against it? David explores how an argument about art, criticism and the avant-garde can be applied to contemporary politics and can even explain the monstrous appeal of Donald Trump.Sontag in the LRB:Terry Castle on Sontag and friendship ‘At its best, our relationship was rather like the one between Dame Edna and her feeble sidekick Madge – or possibly Stalin and Malenkov.'James Wolcott on Sontag and polemics‘The upside of Sontag's downside was that her ire was generated by the same power supply that electrified her battle for principles that others only espoused.'Mark Grief on Sontag and identity‘One of the most appealing things about Susan Sontag was that she didn't ask to be liked. Sontag's persona was not personal. It was superior.'Joanna Biggs on Sontag and Paris‘Paris let her say no to an academic life, but not to a life of ideas. The best thinking was done in cafes, or in bed, or at the movies, not in libraries.' Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
