On Martin Hägglund's This Life. We continue on the theme of freedom by discussing Martin Hägglund's case for 'democratic socialism'. In this episode, we leave the book itself to one side and attempt to "put the concepts to work".  We survey the many intelligent responses the book has generated and discuss what their strengths and weaknesses are.   Is 'secular faith' just a therapeutic ethos to do with caring about your loved ones? What guarantees that we will use our free time appropriately? Why would we work freely for others? How does Hägglund's vision work on a global scale? What kind of post-capitalist “state” does Hagglund actually propose? Does Hägglund evade class struggle? Does he have any vision of agency?

In episode 43 we are honoured to be joined by Dr. Adolph Reed Jr., professor emeritus of political science at the University of Pennsylvania, long time organizer, and prolific scholar. We discuss the collapse of the Left in North America, the Nexus as the 'left wing of neoliberalism', race reductionism, identiarianism, and the need to work toward a politics of solidarity and class consciousness.  SHOW NOTES Class Matters Podcast The South: Jim Crow and Its Afterlives by Adolph Reed Jr. No Politics but Class Politics by Walter Benn Michaels and Adolph Reed Jr. The Trouble with Disparityby Walter Benn Michaels and Adolph Reed Jr. Disparity Ideology, Coronavirus, and the Danger of the Return of Racial Medicine by Adolph Reed Jr. The Crisis of Labour and the Left in the United States by Mark Dudzic and Adolph Reed Jr. Racecraft by Barbara J.

In this episode we were joined by none other than Professor Walter Benn Michaels, the author of 'The Trouble with Diversity: How we learned to love identity and ignore inequality'. We talked about the rise of left neoliberalism and why it is wrong; the history of the civil rights movement and why it moved away from socialism; the material roots and role of racism in society; the role of Universities in marginalizing class analysis; the failure of the left to present an alternative analysis; the myth of 'class reductionism'; and how liberal anti-racism and all forms of progressive identity politics ultimately function to undermine socialism and aid capitalism. An extremely provocative episode with one of the best socialist thinkers around.

I talk to Walter Benn Michaels, author of ‘The Trouble with Diversity,‘ about how he became disillusioned, first with diversity, and then with capitalism. Also discussed: Willa Cather, F. Scott Fitzgerald, 'White Fragility.'

For episode 5 of EBL, the crew assembles to discuss the controversial 1982 article "Against Theory" by Steven Knapp and Walter Benn Michaels. The article is a critical attack on the enterprise, possibility and desirability of Literary Theory.

Are you sick of novels that are way too chill with their symbolism? Do you want a novel that has no chill at all? That blasts its symbolism on pretty much every page? Then Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises (1926) may be the book for you. We talk masculinity and the phallus, the First World War, bullfighting, and whether Hemingway was for real with this thing. (Answer: yeah, probably?) Also, Megan thinks “the fishing stuff is dope.” We read the Scribner edition.

Why is it islamophobic to think that Ilhan Omar is anti-semitic? Because Roland Barthes was wrong in "Death of the Author." We bring Walter Benn Michaels' "Against Theory" to bear on the faux-outrage against Omar and critique AOC's weak support. Then, we talk about our very different public high school experiences - different in terms of class - and the recent college admissions scandal. Closing song: bloothirsty butchers - デストロイヤー [Destroyer]

Continuing on "The Death of the Author" by Roland Barthes (1967) and "What Is an Author?" by Michel Foucault (1969), and finally getting to “Against Theory” by Steven Knapp and Walter Benn Michaels (1982). What could it mean to say that a text, once written, speaks itself? We get into Foucault's critique of the cult of the author and the reader-centric types of analysis he proposes in its place. Plus, Knapp and Michaels's poem written by natural forces on a rock. Crazy stuff! Listen to part 1 first, or get the Citizen Edition plus citizen access to part 3. End song: "The Auteur" by David J (2018). Listen to Mark's interview with him soon at nakedlyexaminedmusic.com.

On four essays about how to interpret artworks: “The Intentional Fallacy” by W. K. Wimsatt and Monroe Beardsley (1946), "The Death of the Author" by Roland Barthes (1967), "What is an Author?" by Michel Foucault (1969), and “Against Theory” by Steven Knapp and Walter Benn Michaels (1982). When you're trying to figure out what, say, a poem means, isn't the best way to do that to just ask the author? Most of these guys say no, and that's supposed to reveal something about the nature of meaning. No need to wait for part 2.

We're currently in between Season 1 and Season 2, so we've decided to take the opportunity to reproduce the "Anti-Essentialism Series" from the summer of 2017 in a more linear and coherent fashion. Old and new listeners, alike, will benefit from this presentation that will unfold over the next week, which develops a critical analysis of the relationship between capitalism and the creation of marginalized identities (race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, etc.) Joining me this week to continue our Anti-Essentialism Series is Walter Benn Michaels. We talk about the transformation of race science to cultural essentialism, and why we love diversity and hate inequality. Walter is a distinguished literary and social critic, and one of the leading theorists of anti-essentialism, so you won't want to miss this interview. Walter's most relevant book, The Trouble with Diversity, can be found here: www.amazon.com/Trouble-Diversity…ity/dp/0805083316 -"The Political Economy of Anti-Racism," http://nonsite.org/article/the-political-economy-of-anti-racism ****This is the free version of this week's interview.
